Government information Helps New
York Spectators to Reap Golden
Harvest and Secretary Shaw May
Be Made Bank President

In the announcement that Secre-
sary Shaw will resume on October 2
the refunding of the short-term per
cents into per cents, Wall street
has discovered another underground
route between the United States
treasury and the National City bank,
which enjoyed profitable privileges
during the administration of Lyman
J. Gage and afterward made Mr..
Gage president of the United States
Trust company and his assistant, f.
A. Vanderlip, vice president OF the
City National Bank itself.
How Scheme Was Worked
According to officials of national
banks in New York, the National City
bank for two weeks has been buy
ing short-term 4 per cents from ma
tional banks, offering slight prem
itm above the MARKET price, which
enabled it to accumulate millions OF
the bonds from the unSuspect1ng mold
ers, and at the same time it has been
selling it's 2 per cents at the marke1
price. About ten days ago the pei
cents sold at 1045s, but when Secre
tary Shaw's circular reached Wal
street recently they dropped t.
103A ased, 1913 bid, and there was
corresponding rise in the 4 per cents
so that the National City bank ha
made round profit already on tn
speculation and will make still fun

Recent developments bear witness

up the subject with a recommendation
that the resolution be killed and the
time worn arguments used by the rail
way lobbyists in the last legislature
are made to do double duty. Along
the lines of the Burlington, particu
larly, the word has been passed that
prompt action must be taken to head
off the movement and every pass
holder or beneficiary of the present
method of allowing the corporations
to name candidates, has taken it upon
himself to write and cajole his CEN
trail committeeman into taking
stand against the adoption of the reso-
luton.
The railways, through their various
agencies for the control of the repub-
lican committee, are doing everything
in their power to check the movement
for the direct primary, since they rea-
lie that the success of the plan will

choice of the lawmakers directly by

Profits of Rockefeller Bank

ZION.
Profits of Rockefeller Bank
This discovery has caused great
deal of indignation among the ma
tional banks, who say that there is a
leak in the Office or the secretary OF
the treasury, and that it leads direct
to the National City bank.
A prominent bond expert prepared
a table showing the profits made in
the 1903 refunding and the profits
which the National City bank will
make out of the refunding on Octo-
Der 2, namely: S24 on $4,000, or $24,-
600 on $1O,000,000, in addition to the
profit made out of the speculation.
When Secretary Shaw designated
the government repositories about a
year and half ago the banks so des-
ignated were obliged to pay ITO for
their bonds to be used as deposits
against government funds; most OF
them still have the bonds and there
fore not having the same advantages
as the National City bank will be
compelled to sell them at the present
market price which represents a loss
of per cent.
Will Shaw Get a Job?
The whole affair was the sole topic
of conversation and comment in ma
tional banking circles. Many times
the question was asked whether Sec
rotary Shaw, who is to retire in Feb
ruary, is to become the head OF
metropolitan banking institution con
| trolled by National City bank ant
| Standard Oil capital.
