FIRST OF APRIL.
SETTLING UP AND MOVING DAY.
Prospects of An Easy Money Market-Busi-
ness Changes-Remeval of Merchants
-Dissolutions snd New

houses are SUBJECT.
All appearances indicate an easy money
market to morrow. Our merchants, man.
ufacturers and farmers have had pros
porous year, and the banks aud other
money lenders are we'll prepared to meet
the demands upon them. There is, as
usual, a scarcity of bank notes, but the
bankers have laid in large supplies of gold
pieces to meet the demand for currency.
Less money is required than used to be, as
the people have learned the use and con-
venience of checks and drafts. Good real
estate securities at ) per cent interest are in
demand and nobody who can show fair
margin will fail to be accommodated. 6
per cent loans are rapidly being changed
by the borrowers for lower interest bear
ing obligations.
There are good many changes of real
estate, and in the recorders office a largo
pumber of deeds are likely to be entered.
The changes in securities will enhance the
number of judgments and mortgages to be
entered, and as money is readily obtained,
considerable is being borrowed to make
building and other farm improvements.
1t is noticeable that the people no longer
crowd all their business into the first of
April, and all week they have been attend
Ing 10 IL moro OF less.
