WILL WORK A HARDSHIP.

Tho law taxing mortgagers aud bonds
will b. the means Of making persons in
our StHte, who are now borrowers at and
per cent to pay an increase ON their
aOaus. We have already heard Of several
parties who have money loaned out at 5
per cent talking about raising the inter
est to q per cent or cali i'll their loans
There is no doubt in our minds that the
men who have money to loan should pay
the + proportion OF taxes but their should
be some other way to reach them except
over the backs Of the mechanic and Others
who only own u few hundred dollars in
their homes the balance being held by the
money lender.
You can't compel the lender to lend his
money il he dosen b see proper 10 do So and
tho poor man, rs usual who is So unfortu.
nate as to he borrower will have lust
that much more to raise when his mort
gage becomes due and the ratio OF interest
is raised from 10 i per cent. This is
what all Intelligent body Of men have done
for the mechanic and he working mon of
our state. They have placed an addition.
al II den upon tuoln. A few more dollars

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-The Evening
Pest s London financial cablegram says;
The stock markets here were quiet to-
day. They opened rather dull. but closed
firm. Americans were good from start 10
finish. closing strong az the best. That
market opened with good buying orders
from New York. A feature was the jump
in Central Pacific. which was largely
bought from one quarter. II is said that
the reorganization scheme Will not ad-
versely affect the shares. Readings were
also largely bought here late in the DAY
Grand Trunks We're bought by Montreal.
Mines were also lifeless. japanese bonds
were again fiat handicapped l.
A further large business was done by the
Bank OF England today in loans at 3i2 per
cent. and discounts of bills of all dates
range up 70 sixty days AT per cent. The
policy of the bank in raising rates for loans
is easy TO see and is very commendable.
BY attracting discount business In prefer
ence 20 short loans. they increase their
chance of keeping control of the market
in the early part Of next year. Signs are
constant now of the bank y more vigorous
and up-te-date policy.
The Indian council today sold forty

Boston Wool Market.

BOSTON, Dec. 22.-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow OF
the wool market:
The past week territory woods have dis
placed Australian as the feature of the
market. The sales of territory were al
most ten times as large as those of the
previous week. amounting in the aggr3-
gate 10 over 3.3go.ooo pounds. A number OF
the heaviest buyers in the country have
been in the market. The large transac-
tons in territory wool were reported to
have been at full rates. at about 1sc or ac.
Whatever concessions are made are for
the most part on old wool. Coming events
cast their shadows before, and the large
purchases or Montana this week are con-
sidered 70 he an earnest of widespread
demand for wool after the new year has
made its appearance. Foreign woods have
been largely neglected.
The sales of the week amount 10 4.4s2,G0
pounds domestic and aS1 90 pounds foreign.
making A total of 1863 600. against total
Of 25liD0 for the previous week.
