President Fyshe, of the Cana>
dian Bankers Association, in an
address recently delivered be-
fore that body; declared that
there are too many banks in the
Dominion, and that the competis
ton between them has made Gre
dit so cheap that the pushing,
ambitious and impecunious trader
has largely taken the place of
the cautious, conservative one,
who had something to lose. This
is a very unsatisfactory condi-
ton, truly, but if the Canadian
bankers would transfer a por-
ton of their capital 10 the South
ern portion of the United States
they would derive considerable
profit from so doing. It would
not be necessary for them to
take such risks in loaning their
money in the section as they are
now taking at home.
