We sadly need bank. To il

desired to borrow 500, on secur-
ity worth five times the loan
asked. He could get no mer-
chant to advance him the money,
hence had to send the security
north to make the loan, result
was that just 500 less is circulat-

always follow their money and in
this way much trade that would
be tributary to Ocala is done
elsewhere where our people keep
their bank deposits.
