The increase in the capital stock of the
National City Bank is thought TO have had
some influence on last weeks bank state
ment Payments completing the subscrip-
ton to the increased capital stock have
been made and notification that the in
stitution is now possessed of a capital Of
SO, GOO. 600 and surplus OF $1,000, 600 has
been sent by the bank TO its dealers and
correspondents throughout the country
These payments, raising the capital from
81 ,0OO,O 600 to 100000 or an outlay Of
s.. 600 600. were made in two installments.
on January 10 and February /. The COM
pletion OF the transaction probably offers
an explanation for the large increase OF
loans in the statement. which Wall Street
could not explain Saturday.
Although the capital has been increased
the National City Bank still figures in the
weekly bank statement as having capital
of 81 600. 600. This. II is explained, is due
to certain fOrmalities that are required
by the Comptroller Of the Currency on the
increases of banks capital. Until that is
done the amount of the stock subscription
figures among the banks deposits, and ex
plains in part the increase in that item in
the weekly statement.

Commenting on the sugar war situation,
Willett Grays weekly Sugar Trade
Journal, noting the recent advance by tho
trust Of cents per 100 pounds in the price
of refined sugar, says:
For the first time lately the independ-
ents have not followed with the same ed
vance but have continued to sell through
the week at the old prices CT a week ago
for prompt shipments only. This opens up
a new feature Of the sugar war and makes
the independents the real agsressors, or
rather the Arbuclile and Doscher reineries
so. The Howell houses have ceased TO be
a factor in the situation for the present.
"The sugar war appears to be good for
the entire year, and with the difference
between raw and refined TO be maintained
at its minimum This difference is now
really but as cents pes 100 pounds, with
raws virtually at IL cents. and granu-
lated i.95 cents net by Independents. The
next move by the American Sugar Refining
Company will be of interest"

The fact that Baltimore and Ohio has
been able TO sell large block of its bonds
to one Of the strongest syndicates in Wall
Street at n price near the present market
quotation is the strongest evidence of the
high credit of the property. The s2,S0O,000
Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern bonds
were bought and paid for on Thursday By
Strong, Sturgis Co. The syndicate which
bought SIS 500, 600 Baltimore and Ohio bonds
is composed of Speyer & Co. and Kuhg,
Loeb d. Co., OF New York, and Speyer
& Co., OF London. The knowledge
of this sale Immediately started buying
movement in Baltimore and Ohio securities.
Some of the largest operators In the street
were among the most conspicuous buyers.
There is no Disgusting the fact that the en-
trance of Pennsylvania interests into Bal
timore and Ohio ensures not only main
tenance OF rates, but the continued appli-
cation OF the principles of rairoading to
the Baltimore and Ohio system which have
made the Pennsylvania property such ia
nous success. Nevertheless, II will be well
20 bear in mind carefully that the boom
in the common stock of this company is in
the hands OF a skillful clique and that its
advance will not be unattended with violent
fluctuations.
