A Dropin Interest Rates.

New York, June 22.-An offer of a
large brokerage firm to loan $4,000, 900
on New York real estate at 3h per
cent. has established a new record for
bond and mortgage loans. The lowest
rate of interest heretofore paid by bor-
rowers, even on Broadway property,
has been from four to five per cent,
according to the amount borrowed and
the relative amount of the mortgage 10
the value of the property. Many
brokerage firms held that this offer
to loan SlO,o00,000 was an exception,
and that borrowers in general would
have to continue to pay at least four
per cent. Other brokers said that in
future New York loans would rule at
3h per cent. when the amount bor-
rowed did not exceed 40 per cent. Of
the value of the property.
