The present quotations for the stock. which
psys per cent dividend, are 2i5 bid, go
asked. The proceeds OF the new stock will
give the bank surplus OF $4,000. 600. be-
sides a substantial amount in undivided
profts.
The Fourth National does an extensive
mercantile business and has always had a
high standing among the financial institu-
lions OF this city. Its deposits, as shown
By last weeks bank statement. are S24.-
$4,000. loans s220sl.0Oo and surplus and
undivided profits s3.s24.700. The bank was
organized in 1853. with a capital Of
sS,oooooo. which several years later was
reduced To s., 900, 900. Its comparatively
large initial capitalization has been said TO
have been due 10 the desire of Salmon p.
Chase. at that time Secretary OF the Treas
ury. TO have a strong institution organized
under the new national bank act as an
encouragement TO the formation of other
national banks.
The first president was the late ex-
in office were Morris Ketchum. Philo g.
Calhoun. Octavius D. Baldwin and ]. Ed
ward Simmons. who has been at the head
of the bank since 1888. and who is also

dency Of the Fourth National. was for
many years a member of the Stock E.x-
change, OF which he acted as president

years, is James @. Cannon. who is widely
known among the bankers of the country
The Fourth National Bank, the Offices
Of which are at Nassau and Pine streets.
last spring acquired the entire block on
the east side OF Nassau street. between
Pine and Cedar streets and also owns
property in Pine street adjoining it's pres
ent home: and II is supposed that part of
the proceeds of the new stock will be de-
voted 10 the erection Of a large Office
building covering this tract, which en-
braces frontages of 1875 feet in Nassau
street. s4l feet in Pine street and 7s2 feet
IN Cedar street and has the peculiar ad-
vantage OF having no tall buildings near
it, II was said at the time of the an
nouncement of the purchase of the Nassau
street frontage that a modern Office build
Ing was 10 be erected. but II is under
stood that no decision has yet been reached
as to the architectural details.
