INTEREST RATES.
A Question Which Is PuzzIing the
Banks of the Metropolis.

Banks of the Metropolis.
New York Financer.
No matter how logical the argument may
be in favor of a reduction in rates on coun-
try balances, concerted move in the direc
ton of this reform seems impossible so far
New York is concerned. The presidents
tions. men who believe in treating custom
with the utmost liberality consistent
with sound principles, have been induced of
late to urge on their fellow bankers the wis
dom of cutting interest rates. but their eff
forts up to the present time have been UNI
awaiting, owing to the refusal of some of the
banks to agree to the proposition. The in
f1uence of the clearing house itself counts
as nothing in controversy of this charac-
ter, the latest informal committee del
egated TO secure action ascertained. In our
Chicago letter an instance is cited of the
case in point. The New York correspond
ent of a bank in Chicago notified the latter
that conditions necessitated reduction of
interest rates to IL per cent, and in return
received a dispatch requesting transfer of
sumably, stood ready to pay the 2-per-cent.
rate. Rather than lose the account the
New York bank capitulated Without NOR
alzng on the incidt mt, it be said that
the same result would follow unless every
bank in New York city entered into an iron
clad agreement to pay d uniform rate.s A
written agreement opens the door to suit
on the ground of violation of the antitrust
law, and no one has yet been able to de-
wise a verbal or a 'gentlemanS" compact
sufficiently strong to be effective binding.
In the meantime the banks Will act indi-
vidually. and it is rumored that some of
them will attempt on Jan. l to put into
practice the arguments they have been adj
vancing during the past month or two. Sew
eral New York banks manage to thrive prof
itably without paying any interest on de-
posits, and, this being the case, there seems
to be no reason why others should not be
able to continue business with an interme-
date rate in force. In any event, New York
banks are expected to render some equiva-
lent for the money left on deposit with
them, and it is an open question with some
officers which is the cheaper-to pay a good
rate for money and maintain the business
on an impartial basis. to make up in ac-
commodations, with chances of loss, the
difference between a cash return and the
continued granting of favors that otherwise
could be refused without offenSe.

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, Dec: 1S-The dry goods market
opened with hopeful conditions prevailing al
though there is little tangible Improvement re-
ported in any line. Wooden goods have still the
best of the market and selling quite freely,
chiefly through road statesmen, although recorders
by mail are of frequent occurrence. There are
vague rumors of increased business in staple cot
ton goods. but it is not possible to run any of
these down and to say just when and where the
improvement has taken place. The reductions in
the prices of staple cottons which it rumored
would take place last week still deferred. but
