There is much excitement among New
York stockholders, owing to the decided
action of the government officials, who have
suddenly demanded that they snail pay q
bankers tax of 1-24 of l per cent. upon. all
deposits and money loaned without security,
dating back the claims of liability. as far as
1864, and also adding penalty OF l0o per
cent. The Graphic says that Internal Rev
enue Commissioner Raum, OF washington,
through Assistant Collector Blake OF New
| York, is now examining the books of about
thirty of the largest stock brokers concerns
in Wall street in order to determine their
| liability, and it is stated that the
government officials are determined to
make the law apply to both
brokers and bankers, and that all deposits
nav tribute. The brokerage fraternity are
very, much agitated about the matter, be-
| cause the amount in volved isa very large sum
of money, so great in fact, by accumulation
and added penalties, as to probably occa-
sion embarrassment in some cases. One OF
the largest brokerage concerns in lower

of the house, at first refused to comply, and

but was informed by their law advisers
that such action would hardly be advisable.
Russell Sage said that he thought brokers
would be justified in protecting their prop
erty, but they will unquestionably be com

which nav be demanded from Stockholders
will probably run from $4,000 to $4,000
apiece.
