Bank Consolidation Abroad

Apparently the movement toward bank
consolidation is not peculiar to the United
: States. A bank amalgamation of quite un-
usual magnitude has just taken place in
England. About October 9th, says the
Bankers Monthly, the formal announce
ment was made in London of an amalgama-
tion of the City bank with the London and
Midland bank The name of the new con-
Germ is to be the London City and Midland
The paid-up capital and the reserve fund
of the new institution will together amount
to nearly four and a half millions sterling;
its deposits to over thirty-one millions, and
its advances to the public to over twenty
one millions sterling. The favorable points
of the transaction are that each brings to
the alliance description of business which
the other previously lacked. The City bank
had large city and metropolitan business,
with stock exchange connection and for
eign clientele; the Midland had profitable
connection in the provinces. As to the eff
feet of the deal, the opinion seems to bs
that as far as can be seen the directors Of
the City bank have made very good bar
gain. At all events its shares have risen 20
per cent since the news of the fusion be-
came known. The financial position of the
London and the Midland bank, says the
London Economist, "is stronger than that
OF the City. Its proportion of cash to total
liabilities is larger, smaller proportion of
its resources is lent out, and it has for
years been paying higher and more pro-
gressve dividend. Constituting, as it does,
q further step towards the gradual absorp-
tion by provincial or London and provincial
banks of purely metropolitan institutions.
this latest amalgamation is significant"

ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK. Nov 1.-THE results of to-
days stock market operations were rather
inconclusive, except insofar as they showed
a continued lively interest on the part of
the general public In securities of all
grades. AS far as prices are concerned, net
changes are rather mixed, though the ma
jority are on the side of gains and those
In some cases amount to one per cent or
over. The. early period of the market
showed the heavy offerings to realize which
are at all times usual in the upward course
of a real bull market. But even while
prices sagged at some points with the eff
fort to absorb the offerings, the other
stocks were mounting up. maintaining the
undertone of firmness. The very notable
movement In Atchison preferred was con-
tinued from the outset, at which time rum
ming purchases carried the price up ".
The gain was subsequently extended to
~, and the net gain Is almost a point.
There was heavy demand early for Dem
yer preferred. Baltimore and Ohio, Pacific
Mail and International Paper gave tone to
the early market, as did an upward bound
of 3% In Metropolitan. Further weakness
in Tobacco and the reaction in Chicago
and Alton from its recent advance had an
unsettling effect in the first hour. In the
second hour, however, the grangers were
taken in hand and Burlington and Rock
Island were pushed to the highest prices
of the year. Some of the low-priced and
lately dormant stocks were also brought
into the movement and advanced to a
higher level. The late reaction was in
duoed by the persistent weakness of the
Northern Pacific stocks and the uneasi-
ness thus caused In the minds OF holders

The Post Check Idea

The plan proposed by G. w. Post OF
Battle Creek, Mich, for simplifying the
trouble Of remitting small sums by mail, and
embodied in senate bill, is rather striking,
says the Bankers Monthly. At present the
cost and trouble of obtaining postal money
order are considerable, while the remittance
by bank check generally subjects the re-
ceiver to charge for collection The propo-
sition is to do away with the expense of the
postal money order system and to make re-
mittances easy by issuing ''post cheques" or
government notes like the old fractional cur
rency, in denominations from 10 cents up to
$5 Their new feature is to be that they
will have blanks for Endorsements, which
make them payable to the individual named
on the Endorsement.
So long as these blanks are not filled the
notes are to pass from hand to hand like
any other subsidiary currency. But if any
one wishes to send, say 80 cents, to some.
one in another city, he can guard against the
loss in transit by taking n 50cent note, af
fixing a 2-cent postage stamp at the govern
ment fee, writing in the name and address
of the payee and sending it to him through
the mails. That note will then be payable to
no one but the person named in it, who can
get it redeemed at his postoffce.

A DRAMATIC EXPERIMENT.
Mesa Does Not Require Sugar Cat
 ing of Music.

"Old Virginia" vas presented to a large audience at Mesa Wednesday night. The house would have been still better if the theater had been big ger Everybody was pleased with the performance, notwithstanding it was handicapped by an utter absence of music. A pianist had been engaged. but she spent so much time in seeing if her hat was on straight that the M.
 & P. train could wait no longer, since it had to make connection with the Southern Pacific at Maricopa. Man ager Mussey of the "Old Virginia" company received a telegram at Tempe from the absent pianist explaining that the train had pulled out ahead of time and that in consequence she had become separated from the rest of the troupe. She added in a postscript that she could go on by special convey ance and could possibly reach Mesa before the time set for the beginning of the disturbance. Manager Musseys reply was comprehended in less than the ten words allowed by the Western Union. He merely said: 'Take a bi- cycle" The house was he'd until after g o'clock, when manifestations of impatience beginning to appear; the play was ordered to proceed without music. It was an experiment. Neither the manager nor his star, c. N. Stark,
 had ever seen the thing tried before
 They believed, as all actors do, that
 music is to theatrical performance what cocaine or vitalized air is to a dental or surgical performance; what a sugar coating is to a drastic pill, that
 it's office is passive rather than l active; it is intended to alleviate pain
 rather than to afford pleasure. But the experiment was a success. The time between acts was filled in with loud and continuous applause, sweeter to the members of the troupe than the most finished orchestral strains they
 had ever heard. The applause con- tinued long after the performance had passed into history and was only

 MT. Emery's investigation of the Verde site, about four miles below old Fort McDowell, convinces him that a great fresh water lake could be estab- lished there which would supply water for all purposes on the north side of the river.

BUILDING A MONUMENT.
This Part of the County Being Grid
 ironed With Good Roads

The county supervisors are engaged in building monument to them selves. It will be more or less endur- ing, will always furnish a good foun- datiOn for another one and will be admired while it lasts. The super visors are engaged in making good roads. They are devoting more atten- tiOn to this matter now than to any other one thing and they intend to keep it up as long as there is dollar with which to make the roads better. The Tempe road has been practically finished and graveling will shortly be- gin on the Yuma road. A clamor has come in from residents along Grand avenue as far out as Alhambra for an improved highway. It is said that property owners out that way would raise $1,000 toward graveling the road. No official notice that this contribu- tion would be made has been received at the supervisors office, but the su- pervisors say that if the Alhambra people and others interested will ren- der a little assistance the work will be done.
 A petition was received yesterday from residents in and about Glendale for the opening of an east and west road for about three miles, diverging from the main road a short distance north of Glendale
