Concerning the action of Controller Knox,
in restricting the loans of New York banks
to a legal limit, the Controller saws he does
not intend to make public the full text of his
letter until he has consulted with Secretary
Sherman. His attention had not been called
to the matter as has been reported, but he
had been observing the purse of affairs Tor
some time past with a view to ending the
practice. 1t is his intention by a rigid en-
forcement of the law to reduce to a minimum
the undue facilities for stock gambling which
have been growing up under this system of
certification. The law empowers the Control
Ter of Currency to enforce its obeyance and
any failure to observe it leaves it discretionary
with him to appoint a receiver for the Offend
ing bank, and if necessary to enforce individ-
ual liability of the stockholders.
