New YOrk's Interest Law.
NEW YORK, January 3.
The new interest law went into effect yes
terday, and the legal rate Of interest is now
in this State 6 per cent. Opinions in re-
gard to the law differ widely. Some law
yers contend that the new law repeats the
old laws, which contained penalties for
usury, and others contend that the old
penalties for usury still remain in force.
There is likely to be much litigation unless
the new Legislature passes some explana-
tory amendment. If the old penalties
stand, then the National and State banks
are liable to the forfeiture of twice the
amount Of interest in case Of usury, while
| penalties in case Of other attractions Of
the law are 81 900, five or six months m
prisonment, and loss of principal and in
terest.
