BANKS LEAP INTO THE BREACH.
Clearing House Certificates to He Is
sued IL Needed

sueu II Needed.
New York. Dec. 23.-T'he Clearing House
Association held largely attended meet
ing at noon to-day. Great interest was
shown in the meeting, all the prominent
banks of the city being represented. The
session was very short, lasting only seven
minutes A number of the prominent and
representative members were present at
the house of President Tappan of the
Gallatin National Bank last night and
decided upon a course to be pursued. This
was to appoint a loan committee with
power to issue certificates to an unlimited
amount, at the rate of per cent, with
a One-sixteenth commission. After going
into session the following resolution was
Immediately adopted:
Resolved, That a committee of five
be appointed by the chair, with the pres
ident, to receive from the bank members
of the association, bills receivable and
other securities to be approved by said
committee, who shall be authorized to
issue to such depositing bank loan GER
tificate bearing interest at per cene
and one-sixteenth on the face therefore
and such loan certificates shall not be in
excess of the market value Of the secur-
tiles of bills receivable so deposited, and
such certificates shall be paid in settle
ment of balances at the clearing and all
the rules md regulations heretofore
adopted in the issue of such certificates
shall be enforced in the present issue"
The following was the committee ap-
pointed: f. +. Tappan, president Gallatin
National Bank: Henry W. Cannon OF the
Chase National Bank, George G.. Williams
of the Chemical Bank, +. II. Perkins, Jr.,
of the Importers and Traders Bank, and
w. A. Nash of the Corn Exchange Bank.
The same committee acted during the
panic of 1893. 1t was announced that no
banks applied for any certificates.
The committee of the Clearing House
Association, which met at President Tap
pans residence last night, did not so into
session until midnight. After agreeing
upon the adoption of the foregoing reso-
