The market is generally reported 
strong, with manufacturers buying stead¬ 
ily. Speculation has slackened, owing to 
increased prices and uncertainty about the 
tariff. Sales in Texas nu scoured basis 
have run from $1.25 to $1.35. Best de¬ 
laine elips in Ohio, Michigan and Penn¬ 
sylvania are going to mills at 50 cents or 
above, and medium from 40 to 45 cents. 
A sale at Boston is reported on scoured 
basis at $1.50 for Ohio delaine, or about 
60 cents unwashed. Other business at: 
Half blood, $1.15; three-eighths, 85 to 90 
cents, and quarter blood, 75 to 78 cents, 
scoured.

Law Regarding Note 
Will you inform me what, tine law is 
in New York State regarding the follow¬ 
ing: 1. Does a note, made out for. say, 
$100, payable in, say. six months, draw 
interest unless the note shows on its face 
that it bears interest? Our local bank 
claims it does, and I dispute it. 2. Ts it 
law or custom, either or both, that gives a 
maker “three days' grace” to pay a note? 
New York. p. r. c. 
1. Interest cannot be collected on a 
note in the absence of a promise to pay 
interest, if paid when due. Sometimes 
a note_ given to a bank does not contain 
a provision for interest, but the bank dis¬ 
counts the note for the amount of inher¬ 
es! it would draw if interest was named, 
and tlnis they receive interest legally, as 
though it was mentioned in the note. 
2. It is neither the law nor custom in 
Ibis State at the present time to give a 
maker "three days’ grace.” At one time 
“grace” was allowed. N. T.
