From New york.

NV York, September The banks of this
CITY have accepted Mr. Chase's proposition 10
lend to the Government s35 900 900 at per
cent interest. and b, paid ia the new per cent.
legal tender Treasury notes, authorized by the
great 1901 900 900 loan act Of last March. To
their acceptance however. two conditions have
been made which. il is believed, Ar. Chase will
scarcely accede 10:
/. The banks wish the Treasury notes to run
over two or three years. whereas il has been
deemed absolutely essential to the fnaucial safe
" OF the issue that one year be the extreme
limit
2 The banks stipulate that if they take this
$50 900 900 of these Treasury notes. the remain
ing $3.50 .0OO. 600. which hereafter to be
issued, shall be negotiated through the banks, il
they shall choose to take them. Should the loan
fail 10 be negotiated il is urged that Mr.. Chase
will be easily able to replendish the Treasury
during the next two months by the issue OF Ger.
tificaIts of Indebtedness; of the 2)'s, and il
necessary a small amount OF ordinary currency
in amount fully adequate, may by these mean,
be raised without anv serious arrangement, if no
with positive advantage to the general 6nancia
interests of the country.
