In regard to the financial situation Albert B. Beers (broker in 

 crude rubber and commercial paper, No. 68 William street, New 

 York), advises as follows: "During February there has been a 

 fair demand for paper, mostly from out-of-town banks, as city 

 banks are not buying generally yet, and ruling rates have been 

 6 to 7 per cent, for the general run of rubber paper. Although 

 Wall street loans have been ruling low, both 'call' and 'time' 

 buyers demand full rates on paper, and can readily supply their 

 wants."
