MONEY MARKET is EASY.
Farmers Are Offered Plenty of Six Per
Cent Loans.

The withdrawal of foreign building
and loan corporations from Mississippi
on the LIST Of January, on which date the
new statute lowering the legal rate of
interest from ten to eight per cent has
apparently not diminished the volume Of
money available for loans, and thus far
there have been no complaints of the
scarcity Of money when reasonable &C.
curity is offered.
On the contrary, the companion stat.
ute eNcmpting from taxation all money
loaned at six per cent or less has seem.
lngly brought into activity a large vol
ume OF money, and loans are not diff.
cult to obtain, either upon city or farm
property.
