BANKS CONSOLIDATING

The inevitable Is overtaking the great
banks of New York. Our ruinous tinan-
cial system is fast collecting the money
of the country at the trade centers, and
at the prevailing rates Of interest the
great body Of the people cannot afford to
borrow. Business is dull with the bank
ers, and a bond sale now might precipi-
tate revolution, for the public mind is
feverish. So, the next best thing to be
done is to consolidate, thus reducing ex-
penses and still more concentrating the
power of the money interest.
A few days ago the Third National
Bank Of New York City decided to retire
from business and transfer it's accounts
to the National City Bank. A, r. Hep
burn, formerly Comptroller Of the Cur
rency, was president Of the Third
National In his statement he says:
While we have built up large and valuable
clientage and profitable business, our gross
deposits being over 100000 to-day, yet, in
view Of the prevalent business conditions and
the evident economies Of consolidated man
agement the directors OF the Third National
are confident that they have best served the
interests of their customers and all interests
by efrectlng this consolidation.
Mr. Hepburn becomes vice president
Of the National City, and thus the two
banks, with their enormous business, are
now one. If there were but one bank In
New York or in the country, and that
owned and conducted by private parties
for personal gain, it is not difficult to
perceive that it's power would be far
greater than that of the Government
itself. Consolidation of banks is the
way to that end.
The Tribune, referring to this subject,
says "it is not unlikely that further an
nouncements of New York City bank
consultations will be made in the course
Of the present year. The proposed alb
sorption of the business Of the Third
National Bank by the National City
Bank has revived discussion in Wall
Street Of bank consolidation possibilities,
and from the character of the talk heard
in banking circles it would appear that
bankers as q rule are in favor Of fewer
banks in the Wall Street community and
for that matter throughout the city.
Reasons presented for the voluntary
liquidation of the Third National Bank
and the taking over Of its accounts by
the National City Bank could be given
tOr similar proceedings BY other city.

ness Of Russia to pay price for the gold
needed
"The iron industry has quite an in
crease in new business, though not in
all branches. Sales Of wool
decrease, though still greater than when
all the mills were busy, but manufac-
turers are doing scarcely anything, most
Of their possible demand for months
ahead having been supplied. Western
holders begin to offer at l to ~ cents
lower than Of late. Woolen goods are
dull, but prices are firm. The strike OF
clothing hands somewhat restricts the
demand. Cotton goods are without
change in prices, print cloths still at the
lowest on record and the demand is still
Indifferent, with talk Of temporary clos
ing Of mills at the South"
BrGdStreet'S says; "The slight inn
provement in trade is In the tendency Of
business to increase at q few points in
the Northwest on the Pacific coast and
south Atlantic and Gulf States. There
is increased buying at Baltimore,
Atlanta, Birmingham and New Orleans,
where trade has revived on the an
nouncement that northern Louisiana,
Mississippi and the flooded districts are
being placed under cultivation and that
the damage done is less than expected.
There are increased sales at Milwaukee,
Omaha, Chicago and st. Louis, and
exports Of general merchandise and
lumber from San Francisco have In
creased. The usual industrial
disturbances have marked building and
other industries, notably clothing, min
ing, iron and steel, Manufacturers Of
woolens are we'll stocked with raw ma
terial, but owing to slowness of orders
prices are easier, Makers Of cotton goods
are at disadvantage, owing to the rels-
lively high price Of cotton and increase in
the production Of products. There is no
gain in demand FOR iron and steel, prices
for which continue low.
"There are 245 business failures this
week in the United States, which is not
far from what may be called the normal.
This total is compared with 251 last
week, ZIG in the third week OF May,
1896, 2O6 in the like week Of 1895, 237 in
1894 and 247 in the corresponding week
Of 1893"
