A Washington disnatch to tho Now
York World follows: "That the big
national banks of Now York cltv are
in a conspiracy with Wall street to
manipulate prices is something .Repre
sentative Sulzer expects to show
through a resolution of inquiry he In
troduced today. The resolution directs
the secretary of the treasury to send
to the house at the opening of the Six
tieth' congress 'the rates of interest
charged by twenty-five or more of the
largest national banks In the city, at
11 o'clock in the morning and at 2
o'clock In the afternoon on call loans,
on each banking day from September
1, 1904, to September 1, 190V, and
whether said rates were made by
agreement, expressed or implied, and
such other information in connection
with the subject as the secretary shall
deem proper and expedient' Mr. Sul
zer expects that the secretary's figures
will show that whenever the Wall
street contingent was ready to sacri
fice the lambs the banks raised the
rates of interest to a prohibitive figure,
and that after the sacrifice was com
pleted the rates became normal. Be
cause of Its privileged nature the reso
lution must be acted upon favorably
or unfavorably by the committee oil
ways and means before next Monday
or at that time Sulzer will have the
light to ask for Its Immediate consideration."
