IMPORTANT DEAL
IN LOCAL FINANCES
Riggs Bank to Take Increased Issue
of American Security

One Of the most important financial
deals ever undertaken in Washington is
the increase of the capital stock Of the
American Trust and Security Company
TO IS 600 .006. and the alliance of this in
stitution with the interests controlling
the Riggs National Bank The impetus
10 this undertaking OF the part OF the
American Security and Trust Company
was undoubtedly the intention OF leading
capitalists connected with the Riggs
Bank to start q new trust company IN
the near future.
Charles J. Bell, president of the Amer
lean. realized. no doubt. that if so pow
erfuI a concern as projected were to en-
ter the local field of financial operations
OF this class in the District. it might
materially interfere with the profits OF
his institution IN this conviction may
be found q reason why he so suddenly
bestirTed himself and set on foot the
movement which has resulted IN the
new deal now about TO be consummaued.
Briefly told. the story of the projected
enterprise IS this: The capital stock
OF the American Security and Trust
Company at present is 1,250 coo It's
surplus, according to the last state
menj issued, is about $500, 600
OF the new shares 10 be issued by the
American the Riggs Bank viii take over
shares 10 the amount OF =, SOC. 600, for
which $50 per share viii be paid The
stockholders of the American. however,
will get one extra share of the new is
sue for each five OF the old issue at
par.
The Riggs Company, therefore, pays
practically 10 the surplus account OF the
American the sum of $500 900. It will
be seen by these figures that Mr. Bell
has taken excellent care of the interests
OF the stockholders OF his company. and
81 the same time added Immensely 20
The financial strength of the institution
II has long been realized by the lead
ing hnanciers OF the District that bank
capital here is too much split up 10
give Washington that financial stand
ing to which il is justly entitled. The
~scent bank consultations, the project
above referred TO. and some others
mooted, but yet in a nebulous state. are
the result
The friends of the American Security
and Trust Company and OF the Riggs
Bank are IN high feather over the deal.
They feel that they have enlarged the
field OF their operations TO an extent
which at this time can hardly be esti-
mated.
Il must be remembered, OF course. n
this connection that in The recent in
crease CT the capital stock OF the Riggs
bank and in this merger Of interests o.
the Riggs and the american Trust Com
pany their connection with the National
City Bank Of New York, probably nov
the most powerful financial institution
in The country. plays an important part
By means OF this consolidation OF In
terests not only viii very much larger
amounts Of capital De brought TO thu.
city for investment. but money Of tbs
banks here viii find a profitable outle1
through investments IN New York.
