day, has been rendered and accepted, and
Hon. J. Hamilton has been chosen to the
presidency and John Mcclellan as vice
president. 1t is stated that Sir Hugh Adams
retirement Yves voluntary, and simply to
satisfy the popular feeling. The resigna-
ton Of Manager Rae has been accepted
aud the efforts to have George Hague, late
manager Of the bank of Toronto, accept
the position are very urgent. The stock-af
the Merchants bank has advanced i've per
cent. and is quoted at eighty. The feeling
in financial circles is much better than
Wednesday, and the solvencY of the Mer-
chants bank is beyond question. Richie

will enable him to give more attention to
outside matters than heretofore. 1t is re-
ported that j. G. Harper, at present man
ager of the bank of commerce, New York,

changee, considerable uneasiness and
anxiety is felt in financial circles.
