The United States Investor mas given an
analysis of the financial condition OF some
Of the more important New York banks
accompanied with the selling price Of their
shares and from this one is able 10 gather
some idea OF what IL is that gives value
TO this form Of investment. The Chemical
National bank has a capital OF only 1900
600. but its surplus amounts 10 nearly 81
500 900, and its deposits average about sew
enty-four times as much its capital
Twice a month its stockholders receive
dividend. which amounts in the year TO
$50 per cent-that is half again as much
as the par value OF their shares. But these
shares sell for more than 1000 each. and
on the basis Of this price the dividends
cannot be considered excessive. But the
curious feature is that II the bank went
into liquidation today and sold its assets,
paid its debts and divided the net results
among its shareholders. the latter would
receive only about 81 500 a share for what
is now sold at more than 81 900. In other
words. more than a third OF the market
value Of the Chemical bank shares is made
up OF the good will and business reputation
Of the corporation.
IL the case Of the First National bank
which has a capital Of $500 900, and a sur
plus of s7,l4T 600 the book value Of the
stock. which pays 100 per cent yearly, ik

eating that nearly half Of the market value
of the institution is found in its good VIII.
still more striking case is that OF the
Fifth Avenue bank, which has A capital
OF 500 900 q surplus Of slOS50 900 and de-
posits TO the amount Of 3 3G2 900, or eighty
two times the amount OF its capital. In

OMAHA RATE BECOMES EFFECTIVE.
Missouri Pacific Makes the Concession


The local Office Of the Missouri Pacific has
received and yesterday distributed among
the local jobbers the new freight rate sheet
that viii 90 into effect on that road July l.
The principal change is the reduction of
freight rates between this city and Auburn,
Falls City and neighboring towns.
The reduction was brought about by a
recent visit to the head officials Of the road
by a number OF Omaha jObbers. For a
long time the Omaha houses have COM
plained bitterly against the discrimination
in favor Of Kansas City While Falls City
and other nearby places are about the same
distance from Omaha a. they are from Kan
sas City the freight rates from Omaha
have been considerably higher than those
from Kansas City. The reduction gives the
Omaha jobbers no unfair advantage over
their Kansas City competitors but it does
place them on exactly the same basis TO do
business with the people in the southeastern
corner Of this state.
