ant developments regard to the
New York bounty loan frauds,

brought to light. hu
The Executive Committees of the
Adams, United States and American
Express Companies, Ii is stated, will
shortly meet to decide ON the question
of allowing the Adams Company to
run an express line over the Penn
sylvania Central and Fort Wayne
Railroads to Chicago. The Adams
Company is also negotiating for the
return OF those lines which they sur
rendered on the compromise with the
Merchants Union Company.
The stringency in money increased
this afternoon, and many bank ac-
counts were not made up until after
three O'Clock. Call loans were sharp
at z per cent. gold, and later in the
day there were the samo transactions
at 169s per cent. per diem. The
Bounty Loan Frauds have disturbed
confidence among the banks aud
money lenders, to such an extent that
money loans were called in to day.
and the moneV not again loaned out.
The sama parties were also calling
IN loans for tomorrow. This action
is taken simply for protection, until
the full extent OF the frauds is diseoV-
cred. The same banks report a de-
mand for currency from the south and
southwest.
