Rate Of Interest.

1t is stated at the treasury depart
ment that the tax not only would be
charged on all deposits of government
money in the future, but would be pay
able on funds already deposited in
banks from the time the new law be-
comes effective. The rate of interest
is to be not less than per cent and as
much more as the secretary of the
treasury may deem proper. For the
present, however, the probable rate Is
/ per cent
In the south and the west large
sums of money are necessary each
year to move the crops and govern
ment funds frequently have aided
greatly In relieving the situation.
Cry for Government Funds.
During the recent strengency there
was a cry for government funds from
the crop centers. Hereafter banks
must pay for money lent by the gov
ernment to move crops.
In the banks designated as deposi-
tories the government places funds to
meet its expenditures in various parts
Of the country. The government is
benefited by lending this money, and
In many cases, it is said, banks not
only are not anxious to be repositories
Of government funds, but have asked
to be excused from acting as such.
