THE UsURY LAWS.

To THE EDITOR or THE HERALD
Considering that the city OF New Yorkis the fnan-
cal centre OF this country, and that consequently
the effects OF financial operations conducted within
its limits are felt throughout it's entire length anu
breadth, ana to greater or less extent in Europe
as well, Is 1t not surprising that the representa-
tves OF the State OF New York refuse to repeal
nominal law, which, IL removed from the statute
books, would at once let loose from savings insIitu-
tons and other sources millions OF dollars now
earning very low rate OF interest, ana tnus nave
the undoubtcd effect after time OF preventing IN
all probability the rate of interest for use OF money,
even In the most active periods, from reaching a
higher figure than twelve per cent per annum.
The question of the repeal OF the usury law OF the
State Of New York has become a national one.
affecting the material interest OF every resident OF
the United states. The responsibility of the repre-
sentatives OF the people OF this state are'very
great, controlling Us they do the vital interests OF
the whole country because OF It's great financial
centre being within the limits Of the State con-
trolled by their legislative powers. Should they
refuse to remove the leading cause OF financial en-
barrassment and distress new prevailing through
out the United States. then Congressional measures
Tor it's prevention should he enacted next Winter.

A s'PANIC' IN STOCKS.
The long conflict between the holders OF stocks
and the owners of money eliminated to-day in
what for want OF an intermediate term, is styled
"panic," although the occasion Is hardly descrv
ing OF the intense nomenclature or such q word.
The serious results OF the afternoon. and partcu-
larry the stoppage OF so well known and reputa-
bile house as that of Barton & Allen, were little APP
pretended in the early hours OF the forenoon, al
though the subsequent recurrence OF the excess
slve stringency in money elected fresh fears for
the effect upon stocks. Meantime however, the
sharp decline OF Tuesday night had brought in a
good many buyers, well as enabled
the covering OF numerous speculative sales, so
that at the start the market was strong and
prices for an hour or so were gradually advancing
But the 6ete n0ire OF tight money loomed up in ter
rliying proportions again, and stocks reacted, de-
Ginning slowly at first and then with faster gait
and eventually falling headlong x a per cent at
each sale as soon as the suspension OF Barton a
Allen announced from the r0strum OF the
Board IN the usual little note of "regret," &C. We
give the results of the 'break" or 'spanC" in the
table below, while special report In an adjoining
column furnishes details Of an interview with the
suspended firm and a description or the general
scene and excitement. An important meeting or
the directors OF the @. c. and |. Q. Railroad was
held this afternoon consider the interests OF the
corporation A portion OF the business transacted
was the adoption OF measures intended to secure
harmonious and thorough working connection with
the several connecting lines East and West.

FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NEW
YORK ASYLUM FOR LYING-IN WOMEN.

The hftieth anniversary OF the New York Asylum
for Lyingin Women was held yesterday, at noon,
at the institution, So Marion street. A large
dience Of friends and patrons gathered on the
occasion. Dr. burchard presided and opened the
proceedings with brief address, In which No
alluded To the beneficent WORK ACCOMPLISHED by
the faithful employees. DR.. ward read the annual
report, by which It was shown that there had been
during the past dty years IL, sl3 cases Of lyinsn
There had been treated during the past year
II cases in the institution and III cases
at the homes OF the paticnts. Dufing the
year 1873 there had been but one DEATH
None but respectable women VINO c0u!d
present certificates VI marriage were admitted To
Inc privileges OF the institution. Its aim was 10
offer an asylum TO those women unable TO obtain
satisfactory treatment during labor elsewhere
Many useful lives had been saved and many weary
rllows sootled and hundreds OF ptiable sufferers
relieved toy the institution. The report detailed
the benefits, which II characterized as humane III
the highest degree. Mrs. Hopes invaluable SER
vices as matron had secured TO the patients Kind
and udicious treatment. The financial affairs OF
the asylum had been ably managed by the Treas
urer. The donation OF $4,000 by the commissioners
Of Public Charities was gratefully acknowledged.
Donations were also credited to Mrs. I. A. Emulct.
Mrs. j. Roosevelt, Mis-. {. X. Garrison and Mrs.
Charles a. Morlord.
The quality OF the patients admitted had greatly
improved. Regarding the special scope OF the
Asylum the report says .-"S0Ine who have heard
the statistics gwen may wonder That o special IN

MONEY STRINGENT.
The course Of the money market to-day was
shaped to a great extent by the decentralization
arising out OF the panic at the Stock Exchange and
the calling and shifting OF loans incident TO the
great fall in prices. The early rates ranged IRON Il
to u per cent-the latter extreme being paid fire.
quently in the process OF turning st0cks--the
excitement and agitation attending the transac-
tons being prophetic OF the trouble which visited
the Stock Exchange later in the day. With the
precipitation OF the stock panic and the announce
ment OF SO heavy failure as that of Messrs. Barton
d Alien each man was afraid to trust his Oldest
neighbOr, and the
sCURRY FOR MONEY
took so demented character that the rate on call
advanced to u per cent as recognized figure,
while as high as per cent was reported to have
been paid in a few instances Tor the use OF money
over night. The usual practice OF closing bank ac-
breach than In the observance, the demand Tor
money continuing nearly an hour later, and with
great mitigation OF terms to borrowers, some loans
being made at as low as plain per cent about
half-past three, although lilo was bid in the final
dealings near four O'Clock In fact. the reiaxatien
in these late transactions was taken to be the first
symptoms OF
THE GENERAL RELAXATION
in money which may be expected to follow the
enormous snrinkage values a. the Stock
Exchange, particularly if the bankruptcies
are limited to the parties whose misfortune
eliminated to-day and confidence among lenders
restored. The upshot of the money stringency
may be involved in the havoc o. this afternoon
among the stock operators, hundreds OF whom
will have no need OF borrowing any further at the
lately going extravagant rates or, in tact, any
rates, until they have scraned up fresh margins
and are prepared to tempt fortune again. Mercan.
tile paper was, as may be inferred, obsolete a
commodity as seven thirtes. Foreign exchange
was nominaly unchanged, but actual business was
at concessions equal TO and fuctuating closely
with the rates for the use OF money.
