The circular in question comes from the First National Dank of New York, und its opening sentences are as fol- lows: FimsT_ Natiowar BANK, 94 Broapwar, New Yous, Jan. 23, 1875.—To_facilitate the public subsciiption for the United Statex 4 per cent Funided Loan, announced in the T'reasury creular of the 16th inst., this bank will furaish tiie coupon and reqstered bonds in all denvminatione, at par and accroed interest in_coln (or the equivalent in currency), making immediate delivery, free of cxpehee, ond sllowinz tof banks and bonkers. the full _commission of on quarter of 1 per cent. In addition to this com- " mission a further allowance will be made whenever by reason of fluctuntions in the home or foroirn prices we can_procuze the 4 in the market at less than the Treasury subscription ratcs. This circular shows either that this banic has porchased at the lowest New York price a large cnough etock of 4sto Glt ell orders they may re- ceive, or that it has some special privileges in this new scheme of Sccretary Sherman's that are not accorded to other banks, or elso it is a retaliatory biow against the Government for having broken np the Syndicate. Some of thie bunkers of this city beliese there i3 an inside ring of bankers in Washington and New York that can do better with the Treasury than other bankers can do. The First National Bank is the institution for which the Treasury Departmentin the lust quarter of 1877 carried §10, 000,000 of 4 per cent bouds without charging it any interest for three months, thereby saving it abont 100,000, and en- abling It 1o sell the bonds at a_discount from the market price, ond even then make 8 profit. It was resumed at the time that the First Nutional was aiso allowed to pocket the interest on the bonds for the quarter during which the Treasury catrica them. The New York Journal of Com- merce remorked At tho time, In exposing this transaction, that it was not surprisin: that these combinatlons of bankers canmake cnor- mous sums out of their contracts, when, in addi- tion to the call for the whole amaant of bonds to be fesucy, they have the privilege of practically choosing their own time and the most convenient mauner for settlement. The probable explanation of the circular we have quoted from anove is 1o by found in the transaction of last year just describ- cd. Towever thot may be, itls certain that the Chicago National Banks asa rule have declared their intention of not subscriling to the 4 per cents or of becoming depositorfes for sub- ecriptions. 1r they want any ° honds they will gend to New York to buy them. Dut they say they will not go to the tronble and ex- pease of filling out blanks, forwarding bonds to Washington, and untwisting o never-cnding roll of red tape in order t have the privilege of selling Donds in competition with the Sub-Treasury here, and with favored banks in New York, which can undersell “them. Nor does it secm likely that many individual subscrivtions will b received at the Sub-Treasuries. The circumlocutions are too intricate for **common™ people. It requires a tmore than microscopic eye to sce anything in the arrangements for this **populac™ loan that is in- tonded to make it popular or successtal.
