An INTERNATIONAL BANK.
Facilitate Exchange Remittances
in Western Hemisphere.
UNITED STATES SUPREME.

New York, Sept. 6.-Pians were made
at a meeting of the directors of the
Mexican Trust bank for the formation
of an international banking institu-
ton, capitalized at $4,000, 900, and
designed especially to operate in Latin
American countries. The scheme in
wolves the consolidation of the Mexican
Trust company bank and the Corpora
ton Trust com ny. The combination
is to be known as the international
Bank and Trust Company of America.
The directors of both the merging
corporations have signed the CONSOLE
dalton agreement and a majority of
the stockholders of both concerns
already have signifed their approval
of the plan.
The general clearing house for the
various branches of the corporation
will be located in New York city. The
company will not do local banking
business, but its special effort will be
to facilitate the remittance OF exchange
between all cities of the American
hemisphere. The purpose will be to
divert to New York the very large
amount of Latin American exchange
that now goes TO London, Berlin and
Paris.
w. H. Hunt, who was the originator
and present president of the Mexican
Trust company bank, will be president
of the corporation. In regard to the
consolidation, Mr.. Hunt said: "We are
thoroughly convinced that New York
is to be the future financial center of
the world. 1t is preposterous that the
settlement of trade balances between
American countries should continue
through the banks of Europe. The
American banking system must be de-
veloped in foreign countries along with
this country's industrial expansion. 1t
will be our purpose to afford means
by which American manufacturers and
exporters may settle their balances
through a banking house pledged to
American interests and to the financial
and commercial supremacy of the
United States, with New York as its
clearing house. We shall expect to do
not only banking business, but to
afford assistance in the building up of
those American countries whose
natural resources are so well known,
but which have hitherto lacked the
organized capital necessary for the
greatest development"

Indian Territory Cotton.

Ardmore, L. T., Sept. Elm 1898
more cotton was hauled to this town
by wagon than any other town in the
United States, the number of bales re-
ceived being SO, 700. With the largest
acreage ever planted in the Chickasaw
nation buyers expected a greater yield
this year than in 1898. Prolonged dry
weather and hot winds have caused a
big shortage. The local crop last year
was $4,000 bales, counting two round
bales as one. A low guess on this sea-
sons crop Is 20, 900 bales.

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and who
is reasonably satisfied with the old, we
would suggest that trial of Defiance
Cold Water Starch be made at once.
Not alone because it is guaranteed by
the manufacturers to be be superior to
any other brand, but because each 1Oc
package contains 16 ozs., while all the
other kinds contain but IL ozs. 1t is
safe to say that the lady who once uses
Defiance Starch will use no other.
Quality and quantity must win.
