This is on its face usury, and would be unlawful were it not for a specific provision in the law, especially in New York, that upon loans secured by stocks and bonds, and made in amounts of not less than $5, 000 and payable on demand, the rate of interest may be anything that the borrower and lende...r agree upon.
