NEW YORK.

NEW York, Aug. l.-Ihc discov-
cry has been made that large
amount Of the Indebtedness Of Dun
can, Sherman & Co. is an anaccommoda-
tion paper i'll the form Of draft
drawn on them by their confidential
clerk in the office, accepted by them,
and sold to various banks through
note brokers. OF this kind of paper
probably not less than fifty thousand
arc now held in Providence
where the family Of MIR. Duncan
has been long and iavorably known,
and the agent met with little difficult
ty in disposing Of it. One bank in
this city holds $4,000 Of it; another
*35, 900, and still another 100000, be-
sides smaller amounts in the hands Of
numerous persons. One banker char
acterizes the issuance of accommoda-
tion paper as the sharpest kind of a
sharp game, the impression Of the ac-
ceptor being that it was drawn against
merchandise and secured. Mr.. Dun.
can says the proceedings were entire
ly straight, and more or less the prac-
tice Of the house for twenty years.
The announcement is made that the
letters of credit, for which the father
of Mr.. Duncan has become response.

Treasury for the redemption of the gold notes issued
by the National Gold Bank of California to
which the Secretary OF the Treasury and

that the security Is ample beyond all
question. The whole issue of gold notes to the Ma
tiona Bank Of California only 81 400 0O0 for which
the Treasury holds security So 600 900 of United

per cent in gold in the New York market The cur
