Dollars a Dollar; but
Borrowing Cost Varies
Loan Rates. Range From
ATT to 7.73 Per Cent in
Different Cities.
BY DEXTER M. KEEZER

WASHINGTON, July %. - Al
though the dollars in use in the
United States are just the same, the
average cost of borrowing them for
commercial purposes varies greatly
from city to city, according to a
survey just completed by DR.. Fred
erick c. Mills of the National
Bureau of Economic Research.
And along with striking variations
in loan rates in different cities,
there are equally striking differences
in the extent to which loan rates
f1uctuate from month to month, ac-
cording to DR.. Mills.
A person borrowing money for
commercial purposes in Boston paid
an average interest rate of ATT per
cent from 1922 to 1926, the lowest
rate in the country, according to the
Mills survey. During the same
period the average rate for COM
mercial loans in Helena, Mont
the highest in the country-was
7.73 per cent.
Comparative Rates
The averate rate on customers
loans in other cities during the
period 1922-26 was as follows:

prices made wide fluctuations IN
today'S session, many issues soaring
to new highs and later receding on
heavy proft-taking induced by
warnings from conservative quar-
!, tiers that the advance Of the past
several days had weakened the tech
meal structure Of the market. Sales
were well up in the 100000 mark.
However, several issues affected by
special developments, maintained
their gains in the face of adverse
movements. Trading, for the great
est part of the session, revolved
about United States Steel, which
scared to new high ground at 1891,
but later reacted slightly.
Tinken Roller Bearings was an
other industrial strong spot, adj
vancing to new maximum on urg-
ent demand.
Strength in Chrysler was accen-
tuated later in the session follow
ing splendid earnings report. The
issue led the motors on a grand up
ward splurge, with General Motors
content to follow Chrysler's lead.
Nash Motors also touched new top.
Highs Numerous
other issues reaching new maxima
were: Goodrich, Union Pacific,
American Smelling, case Thresh-
ing Machine and Shattuck.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day said:
Stocks made further progress on
the upside today, to the utter dis
enlargement of the bear crowd.
With the Dow-Jones industrial
average climbing day after day into
new high ground, professionals have
been expecting drastic reaction at
any time.
But nothing happened today to
give the shorts. comfort. Prices
pushed steadily ahaed under the
leadership of United States Steel.

Operations Increase
steel also derived stimulus from
an increase in it's operations to
about 711s per cent, compared with
SO per cent over the two preceding
weeks.
Du Pont also scared to record
levels, while new high ground was
reached by various other standard
industrials, including Allied Chem
ical and General Electric. Atchi-
sno distinguished price movements
. in the rails by selling higher than
! it ever did before.
Easy credit conditions was the
dominating influence Of the eco

"The 500 line bases its complaint
en- the contention that it should be
assessed at a valuation which would
permit it to earn six per cent on the
amount so assessed. At the same
time it, with other railroads, is con-
tending before the interstate COM
merce commission for freight rate
increases on the ground that it is
not earning six per cent on its actual
valuation.
"In fixing taxable values the board
has kept in mind the necessity of
maintaining q reasonable standard
to enable the various school and 9TH
err small taxing districts to raise suf-
ficient money to meet their expenses.
Most of them already are at the linn
it Of their levy and q reduction in
the valuation of one class Of property
would only mean that the tax burden
would be shifted to other property,
since it is apparent that the schools
and other functions Of government
must be continued on reasonable
basis.
at would appear, therefore, that
the railroad company, in this action,
is attempting to evadc payment Of its
fair share Of the tax burden by shift
ing that burden to other taxable
property, the greater portion Of
which is farm land. And farm land
is conceded to be earning less than
the railroads in proportion to their
taxed valuation"
