The Committee on Banks in the New York Leg
lature. to whom was referred the subject Of bonds
and mortgages as the basis of banking, have report
ed against such securities being in future received,
snot aordng sufficient protection to the bilhOlder,
and have introduced bill prohibiting their use
The Committee, in their report, says:
"That, in their judgment, the certain and entire
security of biholders require that bonds and
mortgages shall no longer be received as basis for
banking The experiment has now been tried for
sixteen years. During that time thirty banks
which have deposited mortgages as a security for
their circulation, have failed, and in not single IN
stance has the security when brought TO sale under
the requi.tion of the law, realized the amount for
which i: was deposited Indeed, so far from such
a result, the average amount realized has not ex-
ceeded sxty-one per cent-the amount OF mort
cages sold being 1924, l44, and the amount which
they produced being S44l,77l. This startling fact
Is conclusive with your committee that an altera
ton in the present law is clearly demanded.

ent time by the bank department for the security

quarter, is in bonds and mortgages. The increase

PRICES IN 1856 AND 1864.

The New York Post of Thursday makes a COM
parson of the prices of provisions in 1886, with
those of the present year. In looking at the re-
portz of the markets in the winter Of 1886, it IS
found that the price of -four ranged from thirteen to
fourteen dollars barrel, at wholesale prices The
retail price was on an average, fifteen dollars. The
editor thinks:
We have not vet reached that extreme DEAFNESS
Of provisions. The markets of to-day show the
price of flour to be from eight TO twelve dollars a
barrel at wholesale. The news of yesterday from
Europe, has had 10 effect TO lower the prices. On
the contrary on the very day Of receiving adyices
from Liverpool Of market decline there in the
prices of all our cereals, our home prices on the
Corn Exchange have risen, ard that considerably.
This is owing to the short supply so inadequate to
the consumption Of our city. The quantity Of flour
in this State outside the city, is not Oneiourth part
the requirements Of it, population until the harvest
of this years is gathered and for which the seed is
hardly put in ground.
