The New York Times says gentleman who
Is familiar with the state Of affairs at Mil
waukee, gives the following history OK the
causes which have led 20 the riot in that city:
some three months ago, about forty couE-
try banks were th.c~o ont By the banks OF
Chicago on account OF the character OF their
securities, their entire assets being in Son TIL
erE bonds. Subsequently the remaining banks
mel IN convention at milwaukee, and agreed
II receive on deposit the bills OF all ban ks
which were then considered good. some
eighty in number, until the first day of De-
cember, " hen their new ban King law comes
into effect. by that law the banks of the
state were not obliged. between March and
the first % december, 10 redeem their bills IN
specie.
Recently. several of the banks in Eiilwau-
Eee, which were represen ted iii the Bankers'
/ Convention, viz the Stats Bank, Bank of
Milwaukee, Juneau Bank. and h,itchells
Fire Insurance Company. the heaviest in
Wisconsin, repUdiated their own action, and
refnsed the bills of the country banks. Thi.
action prevent tea ths country dealers from
making payments in the usual way tu the
wholesale merchants OF milwaukee, causing
great interruption and difficulty in their hu-
siness. Hence the uprising and rnobosrstic
demons tration.
