A BANKRUPTCY LAW.
r~pHE New York Board of Trade and Transporta-
_L tion has sent a circular letter to all the business
exchanges and commercial and financial organiza-
tions in this city stating that the "National Con-
vention of Commercial Organizations, held at
Washington in January last, demonstrated beyond
question the general demand for a national bank-
rupt law, but it was found impracticable to secure
the desired legislation during the remaining days
of Congress then in session, and the committee
having the matter in charge decided to await the
executive session of the Senate (March 4), and
if possible then to obtain the appointment of a
sub-committee of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
to be charged with a full and impartial investiga-
tion of the question. During the past Summer
such committee devoted itself to a consideration
of the subject, and will early in December report
the results of their investigations to the Senate.
In view of the vital importance of this subject it
was resolved, at a meeting of the New York Board
of Trade and Transportation, held on Nov. 16th,
that its Committee on Bankruptcy Legisla-
tion be instructed to invite the attendance of re-
presentatives of the several financial, industrial
and commercial bodies of the city of New York,
