LOANS SCARCE AND DEAR IN OHIO

SIR: 1t Is source of great pain to me to
hear the leading journals OF the country discussing tho
financial question from the rich bankers point OF view
and entirely ignoring the benefits that arise to the mid
die and sboring classes from large volume Of cur.
rency.
In THE TRIBUNE of December 81 you say "The banks
full of money. they would be glad to employ with
fair security" While that Is true with regard to New
York banks and extent with the country banks
yet in Central Ohio cannot, with the best kind of
security get money from banks private less
than per cent and only favortes get 1t that
price. II seems to mo that when you compare the
volume Of currency In circulation tothe amount In
circulation In lS79 you refer ~ condition OF distress
that hope will not again. In our building
