There is a possibility, however, that as the postal authorities have no stamps of a five cent denomination; and not a sufficient | stack of oth values that could be surcharged, to that value, the rate may be fixed at 16 cents.
Rates on postcards will in crease in conformity with those of the adhesive stamps.
It is also interesting to note that the Government Radio Ser vice has materially raised its rates. The new charges conform to those of the commercial cable companies, the rate to Europe being raised from, $1.80 to $2.45, those to America which were from $1.90 to $2.25. now being from $2.75 to $3.80, and to Manila from 30 to 45c.

NEW AMERICAN TARIFFS.
MUCH INDIGNATION IN FRANCE,
The Mercantile Bank of India has also decided to reduce their rate of interest in the same manner as from the first day of next month, but they are con- sidering the probability of fixing the minimum amount of balance overnight, during the month at $500 so that the small depositors will not be hit quite so hard.
The Bank of Canton also have the matter under
consideration, but
a Press representative was informed by the
manager yesterday that they have not, as yet, come to any definite decision.
Rates on Overdrafts. Our representative also en- quired whether, as a result of this reduction of interest On current accounts, the charges on overdrafts would also be further reduced, byt he was informed that, at the moment, overdraft: charges would not be affected.
