osition to Repeal the Law.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The PROPOSE
ton to repeal the law imposing a tax of
10 per cent on State bank issues was de-
feated in the House committee on bank

State bank issues.
The friends of the measure, however,
are determined to make their fight on
the floor Of the House, hoping to reverse
the committees action.

Trade With the south.

The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette
says: cincinnati already has a very large
trade with the South and West, but that
trade ought to be immeasurably increased.
The Queen City lies at the very gateway
of the South. and her manufacturers and
jobbers ought to command the bulk OF
the trade with that section. They ought
not TO be satisfied with what they now
enjoy but should reach out by every
legitimate means and grasp more. Cincin-
natl is the natural market for the States
in the Lower Mississippi Valley.
"The effort now being made 10 secure
better mail communication with those
States is a step in the right direction.
Manufacturers and jobbers can do
much individually. but collectively they
can accomplish wonders. They should not
be content with efforts TO extend their
business with the South. but should reach
out after n large portion OF the western
trade. Especially Is this true Of the manu-
facturers'
