Ineligiblllty to parliament extends to

too. are young men under the age OF

A MARVEL IN FINANCE.
Colossal Proits Of a New York
Banking House.
RICH RETURNS FOB THE PARTNERS

Private Firm Cleared sIT ,OOO, 900
Last Year Beyond Gains ss q Unit
Partner's share Alone Amounted
TO T5 Per Cent of Earnings.
On one OF the news slips that are left
Internationally during the day pt almost
Gil Of the offices OF bankers and brokers
IN New York there appeared the other
afternoon 8 paragraph substantially as
follows. writes Holland, the regular
correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Press. under the date Of Jan. %: 1T Is
the understanding that one New York
banking house earned during the year
1901 profits aggregating Sl7.OO0.OOO ex-
elusive OF the profit that may come TO
this banking house as member Of the
United States Steel Financial Under
writing syndicate"
This little paragraph is an echo OF r
report which is quite generally believed
10 be accurate aud which has been in
circulation In the Wall street district
for some ten days or two weeks. The
only difference between the imprinted
rumor and the brief news paragraph
circulated the other day Is that the re-
port that circulated from mouth to
mouth was more definite as to figures
and as TO the identity Of the banking
house which compassed this unparal-
leled achievement.
The earlier report put the figure rep
resenting the profits at SIT 100000 and
mentioned the name OF the banking
house which had experienced this un-
paralleled good fortune. The printed
slip did no more than 20 hint at the
partnership name Of this banking com
pany. Yet every one associated the re-
port with the pre-eminently active and
organizing banking institution IN New
York city, whose chief and Junior part
ners have had conspicuous part IN vari-
Gus organizations and reorganizations
in the past ten or twelve years.
The exclusion OF the earnings of the
United States Steel Underwriting syn
dicate from this estimate Is probably
due to the fact that. while this syndi-
cate has been practically liquldated,
the pool disbanded and probably a lar
ger part II not all of the profits have
been received, nevertheless the syndl-
cate has not been formally disbanded
and its affairs permanently closed.
OF course, the report has been the
main subject OF discussion and of COM
parison with other great achievements
in the way OF rich earnings all through
the financial district. 1t is said that
these figures represent a reasonable in
come upon a capitalization of $500, ,OOO,-
600. so that, looking at the matter from
this point OF view. this banking institu-
ton stands relatively second to the
United States Steel corporation itself
at least so far as capitalization is CON
cerneR II the partnership were 10 be
capitalized upon the basis of per cent
return.
The report asserts that of these CO.
lossal earnings the senior partner re-
ceiyed 20 per cent, one OF his associates
one-seventeenth. or In round numbers
Si,OOOOO0. and among the other associ-
ates or junior partners $4,000 900 is to
be divided, making for each OF them in
the neighborhood OF $5OO,00 as their
return for the years business.
