Money in San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2Sth-There has
not much new money come into circulation
of late. The wheat export trade is quite
slow, and other means Of exchange are also
limited. Manufacturers are pursuing q
cautious policy, and their demands are
therefore moderate. General business is
light in volume, and the wants of iobbers
are small. There is some speculation in
grain and stocks, but somehow it does not
require much money to cover transactions
OF this sort. Credit rather than cash is the
rule i'll the gambling arena. The range for
commercial loans is quite wide depending
altogether on circumstances. Some loans
Of this character are no doubt made down
as low as 6 per cent, while others go to the
extreme of 10 per cent. The bulk of bust
ness appears to be at s. The savings banks
are taking loans on city real estate at : MS a
rule, though the largest OF these banks still
offers its money at 6 on such property as
its Board of Directors Will pass upon.
These are the same rates as have been in
vogue here for some time. The demand
for Eastern drafts is strong at 20c for sight
and 30c for teegraphic Sterling bills on
London, 493d for bank dra wings and 49s
for commercial paper. Refined silver, 16!0

Our Town It's Situation and Its Needs
w ssst 1t is and What it Should BE.


w s,pt 1t is and What it Should BE.
From. the Monroe Enquirer
The Statesville Landmark, with IT'S
accustomed ability and we'll known
loyalty to and for it's town. has
phrased some plain and timely and
thoughtful words concerning the ne
cessity OF Statesville's situation it it. is
to be expected not only to prosper but
also not to languish, which are SO. per-
fectly applicable to the situation, of
Monroe that we make free use OF them.
We have repeatedly in the recent past
our columns, but they seem not to
have been needed. Inasmueh as our
own position has been reinforced by
such a far sighted and sagacious jour
nal as the Landmark, we trust our
townsmen will not longer turn deaf
ear to our warnings:
All inland towns soon attain their
growth as mere commercial OF trading
points. No great population can sub
sist i'll community where there is moth
ing but buying and selling and bar
tering. There must necessarily be
manufacturing enterprise to give en-
ployment to labor and to bring money
from without, otherwise full growth
is soon reached and retrogession begins.
In these suggestions there is some
thing for the people of Monroe to re-
feet upon. We have wonderfully
prosperous town as trading centre !;
our business is OH d substantial basis !;
our merchants have large and hand
some stocks in large and handsome
stores, and the integrity of tt cir deal
iegs they satisfy all customers from
far and near. But how much larger
can we grow under existing conditions?
1t is surprisl,:g that the town is as
large as it is. 1t would not be SO ex-
cept that some of our surroundings
are exceptional. Unfortunately we
are not availing ourselves of hall the
advantages we enjoy. What comes
here and is shipped away. Cotton
comes but it is not manufactured.
There ought to be cotton factory !;
there ought to be several tobacco fac
tories.
Our people ought to remedy this
state of things. Unless something is
done we will pass into "the lean and
slippered pantaloon." There is much
idle capital in town, or much that is
idle compared with what it might be
made to earn. 1t will not do to be
toe conservative. Some chances must
be taken if anything is to be made.
Factories ought to be built and oper-
ated-factories of all kinds. Associ-
ated effort should be made for the bet
terment of our prospects. There is
not merchant, real estate owner, a
business man of any kind in the town
who cannot better afford to give $40
or 800 toward the establishment of
an enterprise that would employ fifty
hands than he can afford to let that
money lie in bis safe while things rock
along and4other towns outstrip US.
