Scale Down Their Stock.
New York. Aug. 6.-The Bank of
America. n of the largest here, Is
about to reduce its capital stock form
100000 tosl. 500, 600. This step cannot
legally be taken until the stockholders
vote upon the proposition at a special
meeting to be held October Z, but that
the stockholders will so assent is a
soregone conclusion, the largest having
decided that it should be done.
The proposed action by the Bank of
America is regarded with a good deal
Of interest by other banks, as 1t is un-
derstood that n or I'VE more will take
similar action, believing that they are
oVercapitalized, 1t is said that some
of the Boston banks. finding 1t impossi-
bic to earn their customary dividends
on their presen. capitalization with
money so cheap as now, also propose to
take similar action.
one of the leading members IF the
clearing house. speaking OF his matter
said: The trouble with these banks is
not so much the over capitalization INC
low rates of interest hat they complain
of as 1t is the high price they pay for
eusiness-that is the high rate of inter-
eHeS pay IOt country DanK deposits.
Sanks which pay 2 per cent for deposits.
Of which only three-fourths can be used
at ] per cent, and that not always,
should not be surprised if their profit
ana loss account will not warrant the
payment of large dividends. So long.
however, as this competition-craze |
should rather call it-exists among Ger.
tain banks for enormous deposits, so
long will these banks find 1t hard work
to make money for their stockholders
IN times like these. OF course with call
money commanding 8 and 4 per cent,
and even more at times, the country
bank deposits are profitable, but of
course the good times are Offset by
times Ike the present. What the New
York banks want Is some concerted ar
rangements by which the interest al
lowed on deposits shall rise and fall
like the rate for call money here. In
England the rate In such cases is gov
erned by the discount rate of the bank

CORNELL RACING CREW LANDS
Tho Report of tho Race by tho Chicago
Associated Press inaccurate.

New York, Aug. 3.-The steamer st.
Louis arrived this morning from South
ampton. Among her passengers were the.
Cornell crew which rowed at the Henley
regatta. The United Press representa-
tive met the st. Louis ut quarantine and
interviewed Mr.. Freedom who was cap
tain of the boat during the race. When.
shown the report of the race furnished
by the Chicago associated Press, Free.
born said that the account was q mis-
statement Of facts and greatly exagger..
ated. The only mar in the boat who.
gave out was Fennel, who cramped at
the mile when the boats were even and
his oar struck him in the side, which &C.
cident decided the issue. AT this time
the men We're, in his opinion, in just as
good physical shape as their rivals and
it would have been a close race. When
asked as to whether the men We're over
trained or not Freedom said that he did
not think that they were, and that he
himself weighed fourteen pounds more
than he die last year, while they did not
work half as hard as they would have
done here.
