On account of the falling of value in
stocks and bonds, due to the war, it is
probable that the Merchants National
Bank will not suspend business for
some time at least. For years since
the bank has been doing business a 3
per cent. semi-annual dividend has
been declared. Last year the earnings
of the bank We're used up in paying
notes for which the bank was respon-
sible. On account of this the stock
holders We're in favor of SuSpending
business. A meeting of the stockholders
was called and a committee to inveSti-
gate the standing of the bank was
called. This committee is to report
May is. One of the directors of the
bank in speaking of the matter of the
banks suspending business. yesterday
afternoon, said he was not in favor of
the suspension of business by the bank
AT this time on account of the war the
bonds are much less in value than a
short time ago and We're the stocks and
bonds sold now it would be at a loss
If the bank continued business until
the war is over and business again IN
a settled way the bonds would appre-
ciated in value. If then sold the bank
would not be the loser.
