Allegations have been made that the
demand for mercantile credits is showing
great urgency and that high rates are
paid for these credits. Inquiry among the
bankers in the Wall street district failed
to bear out this assertion. Prime grades
Of paper negotiated through customary
channels bring to 612 percent For
names less well known and for applica-
tons from other than their regular Gus
toners bankers are inclined to ask higher
rates or are indisposed TO lend at all
This is in accordance with the knowledge
that the whole banking fabric Of the
country has been devoting itself for some
months past to preparati tons to supply the
regular legitimate commercial demands
for mercantile credits. The returns re-
ceived from day to day by the comptorl-
Ter Of the condition of the national banks
