Financial Markets and Usury Rates in New York and Massachusetts
On Thursday afternoon Jan 7 the loan market was active with ample supply at banks and street lenders but discounts of notes drew less interest outside institutions. The common borrower rate stood at six percent, while the legal cap was seven in New York and six in Massachusetts. A push for equal rates across states is discussed, with six as standard and seven by contract, though legislative change seems unlikely. The stock market showed lively activity with many firms up and down. listed prices include Merchants Bank 1003, Webster 1034, Blackstone 1044, Mount Vernon 974, and others. Gold opened at 1513 and closed at 152, with Sterling at 167 percent.
