BANKS MAY Consolidate.
Movement 10 Unite the Merchants
and the National of savannah

The movement TO consolidate the Mer-
chants National Bank with the National
Bank Of savannah. reference to which
was made in the Morning News a few
days ago, seems TO have taken definite
shape. The matter is made public in a
circular sent out TO stockholders yester-
day by President S. P. Hamilton of the
Merchants National Bank, in which he
refers TO the project.
The movement toward consolidation APP
pears to have originated with the National
Pauk Of Savannah. President Herman
Myers OF that bank had considerable cor
respondence with stockholders Of the Mer-
chants National Bank. The holders of a
majority Of the stock live in the north.
He went 70 New York a few days ago to
meet them, and discuss the matter with
them. .
It appears that the consolidation of ma
tional banks has been recommended where
advisable by Controller Eckels. Many of
the large stockholders, it is alleged, have
not been wholly satisfied with the mar
ket value Of the Merchants National
stock, it not being kept up 70 par, when
ID is worth on the books about 100. the
bank having a surplus Of something more
dcnd from to per cent. was no doubt
responsible for this in a large measure.
The plan for consolidation, it is said.
cOntemplates the payment of par for all
Merchants National Bank stock, or par
in the new stock of The consolidated insU-
tutions. President Hamilton, when ask
"a about the matter yesterday, said ne
knew nothing further than what was con-
tanned in his circular. The matter is just
now In allegiance, pending the return of
Mr. Myers from New York, he said. Pres-
dent Hamilton circular to the stockhold-
ers is as follows:
Merchants National Bank, Savannah,
Ca. Oct. 4. 1S97.-Dear Sir: The directors
of this bank have instructed me TO notify
its stockholders that letter has been re-
ceiVed from Mr.. Herman Myers, president
Of the National Bank of Savannah, propos-
ing conference with a view to a possible
combination or consolidation of the two
properties.
Pending said conference, and until the
directors of this bank have further knowl-
edge as to what win be proposed, they
feel it due to their stockholders to inform
them that the status of this property has
steadily improved under the conservative
policy pursued since the defa.cation of its
cashier in 1891; that the losses resulting
from said defalcation have all been paid,
and that the financial condition of this
bank Will compare favorably with that of
any similar institution in this city.
The directors believe that the interest of
the bank can best be subserved by a con-
tinuance of conservative management and
policy by those of long experience in its
affairs and request that, if you cannot be
present at the election in January, you
sign and return the enclosed proxy au-
thorzing Mr.. George ]. Mills or Mr.. F. S.
LathrOp, two we.l-known resident stock
holders, to vote for you.
If, prior TO the election, any proposal is
received looking to change which would
be beneficial to the stockholders, they Will
be promptly notified Of it.

charge Of perjury before Justice Bevans
yesterday. was discharged.
Aaron had recovered judgment against

perjury The trial before Justice Bevans

embraced the examination Of some thirty
Witnesses The Justice was satisfied when
