 It is understood that there is going 10 be little competition among the different banking houses for the city's business during the next two years. At present the city does all it's bank ing at the Manufacturers National bank, and so far as can be learned the firm is giving satisfaction. They pay the city two per cent on daily balances. which amounts to a neat sum fn the year. During the past year it footed up something in the neighborhood of $4,000, bud this was due to the large number of bonds issued by the city. Usually it nets about S1,OOO. It is said that the Colonial Trust Go is go ing to make g bid for the business and it is thought that others will come for. ward, too.
