THE INTEREST RATE.

A meeting of tho board Of directors Of the
Richmond Chamber of Commerce was had on
the evening Of the Goth, at which was con
sidcred the ACCESSIBILITY Of establishing legal
rate of interest As this body has had great
or experience upon this subject than any 9TH
er association CT the the same number of men,
and as their records extend over greater
number Of years, their expressions usually ar
rived at with great elaboration, are Of pecu-
liar value. They say Of the money mar.s Of
this State since the war:
Previously to the adoption Of the revised
constitution, when six per cent. was the IL
nit, it is fair to assert that the rate of inter-
est. in the commercial centres, was from IL
| to Is per cent, or an aversge of fifteen pei
cent per snnum. Since the adoption of the
constitution, allowing twelve per cent, by
special contract, capital has flowed in from
various sections of the country. ana on the
same class of securities on which II per
cent, per month was paid. your committee
can assert, without the fear Of successful con
tradiction, that the average rates Of interest
in the same marts have not exceeded nine to
ten per cent, per annum. 1t is true that
theory and practice should go hand in hand,
but the experience and practical knowledge
Of cause and effect given above are worth all
the theory that could be packed into
volumns"
