General Land Agent Thomas Cooper
of the Northern Pacific, announces
that taking effect Jun the rate of in
terest on all new contracts for the pur-
chase of railroad lands will be reduced
from seven to six per cent. This ac-
ton is directed by the receivers and
Land Commissioner Phipp. 1t is in
line with the new policy OF the COM
pany to induce settlement by reduc-
ton of the prices of agricultural lands
which lands are being reappraised as
rapidly as possible. MIR. Cooper says it
IS expected that the reappraisement
will result in an average reduction of
about one-third from prices at which
the lands were formerly listed. The
reappraisement will soon be finished.

First OF The New Tea Crop.

The work Of discharging the steam
ship Victoria which arrived last week
was in progress all day Friday. BY
the afternoon overland train a portion
of the tea and silk brought over by
the vessel was forwarded east in bond.
Three thousand chests of tea, CON-
prising the first consignment of the
new seasons crop came over on the
Victoria and will go east Immediately
The Tacoma, which will arrive in
three weeks time, will bring a much
larger consig nment.
One hun bred and sixty-eight bales
of raw silk, valued at $55, 150.21 also
came on the Victoria and was entered
duty free, there being no duty on this
class of imports. In addition the fol-
lowing consignments of silk goods
were received from the ship to be sent
forward in bond, the duty to be col
lected at the other end thus prevent
ing the local custom house getting the
credit of entries: Seven cases valued
at $500, estimated duty, $40; seven
teen cases, valued 13,S21.76, estimated
duty, $6,219.79; four cases valued at
$3.50, estimated duty, SAL three cases
valued at 81 100, estimated duty, $685. !;
one cases valued at $500, estimed duty

Eastern Money Situation.


It is evident that the banks of New
York are accommodating money faster |
than they can loan it out. Tho bank
statement for the week ending May 70,
saws the New York Financier, shows a
further increase of $2,3S5.25O in the
reserve, which is now nearly forty
million dollars. The increase OF u, 19o
GOO in loans is favorable indication
OF increasing business, but the rate Tor
funds is so low that it is possible that
New York is doing a large share OF
business usually transacted by banks
at other places. Loans have expanded
since April LIST eighteen million dollars
but deposits in the same time have IN
creased 57A million dollars, and the
excess reserve is q millions larger.
The accumulation of money at that
centre, in view of the unquestloned
advance in all lines of business, is not
easily explained and cannot be ac-
counted for on the mere supposltlon
that trade balances are being settled.
One year ago this month, when bust
ness was generally depressed, the New
York banks were carrying only
thirteen millions more in deposit than
at the resent time, and the excess
| reserve was then nearly eighty million
dollars.
Naturally, the large volume of loans
over one-half billion dollars-ls
proof conclusive that somebody is
finding use for III oney, but the fact
remains that idle funds are increasing
| for the want of borrowers.
Still, two or three weeks further in
crease in loans such as has been re-
ported for month past will make
that item the largest ever known in
the history of the New York banks.
and if there is a cessation of interior
shipments to this point, the market
will quickly recover its tone. New
York, however, cannot use all tht
money in the country, and the increase
of $S,l25, 600 in deposits was anything
but welcome. The gain in cash during
the week was 81, Assoc made up o
SO 100000 in legal tenders and 7SS, OO(
specie. The offerings of money while
active, seemed to be regulated to avoit
if possible a long return to the one pc
cent. money rate.-Olympian.

No More BOOmS Wanted.

We believe we reflect the public
sentiment of our ellow-t0wnsmen in
saying that no "boom" is wanted this
year, says the Arizona Kicker. Five
years ago, in common with other west
ern towns We INDUCED in one of those
luxuries. Mountains, hills, ravines,
sandlots and town lots and everything
else that could be classed as real estate
jumped hundred per cent in value,
and land and mining and WATERPROOF
companies are thicker than flies on a
Digger Indian. The cover had hardly
been put OH when the bottom dropped
out, aud citizens who fondly believed
themselves worth cool fifty thousand
dollars had to scrape their pockets to
put up five cents ante ON poker hand.
We want no more booms. We want
slow and steady progress instead. Dur
ring the year at least six more saloons.
two stores, a harness shop, a gun shop
and four poker rooms will be built and
opened, and real estate will no doubt
creep up little in price and the
population increase few hundred
but there will be no boom. We shall
go along at steady gait, satisfied
with good thing, and if surrounding
towns suddenly leap to the front as a
geographical center of the universe or
the Chicago of the Far West thew
