Rumors have been current In financial
circles for several days, 10 the effect that
a merger is contemplated between the
Traders National Bank and the Mer-
chants and Mechanics Savings Bank.
Yesterday inquiry was made. and The
Washington Herald is in position 10 say
that, while the negotiations have not
been fully completed, there has been con-
siderable progress. and prominent direc-
tors of both institutions expect the merg-
er 10 be worked out within the next few
days.
Central and Branch Banks.
IN the plan for the merger. capitalists
who control the Merchants and Me-
chanics Savings Bank are to acquire the
majority of the stock and assets in the
Traders National Bank and convert it
into strong savings bank. with large
capital and assets.
The building occupied by the Traders
Bank will be utilized for the central
bank. The building occupied by the Mer-
chants and Mechanics Savings Bank, at
Seventh and C streets, will be used as a
branch bank
AS contemplated in the merger. both
banks will be equipped with the savings
feature as the foundation. Both viii have
large and strong commercial departments
TO take care Of the mercantile business
which has grown up with both institu-
lions.
The decisive move making this merger
possible is understood TO be the recent
acquisition OF the so-called Rixey inter-
ests in the Traders Bank by Eldridge
and Of the Merchants and Mechanics Saw
ings Bank.
This, it is understood. gives Mr. Jor-
dan about a twO-thirds control of the
Traders Bank. He IS also known 10 have
a majority control OF the savings bank.
Details Not Available.
The exact basis of the merger is as yet
a secret in the board rooms OF the two
institutions II viii be announced when

public. 1t is known that the merged in
stitution VIII be stronger than either
bank alone. and that the service 10 the
public will not be abridged in any par
ticular.
Mr.. Jordan IS In New York attending
to the details of the merger. II is ex-
pected. upon his return to Washington.
tnal the programme or the union or the
two institutions will be made public.
The directors and those financially in
terested in the proposed merger are IN
derstood to be in accord with the ma
Jority interests, believing it to be for the
best to unite the strength OF the two
banks and form a large central savings
institution to take the place of the na-
tional bank and the weaker savings bank.
Plans looking to the merger are un-
derstOOd to have been forming for sew
eral months. Mr.. Jordan and his friends
have been securing control Of the two
institutions with that end in view
So far as the valuation Of the securi-
ties OF the two hanks are concerned, no
information is yet available. but it is
known that in the surrender of the old
shares and the issue of the new shares
OF the merged bank. the name Of which
has not yet been definitely decided upon,
the stockholders OF both Will be bene-
flied.
1t is understood that the working
forces Of the two banks viii not be ma
terially disturbed. Both institutions will
