grilling without varying in any detail
from the testimony of last Friday.
The other witnesses called were John

and Platt B. Elderkin, official reporter
of Judge Lawlors court. The latter
gave the dates of certain proceedings

MERCANTILE TRUST
WILL NATIONAL|zf
Plans to Fall in Line With Other
Financial Institutions and
Become National Bank
Action Result of New Law Re-
quiring Separation OF Banking
and Trust Departments

The Mercantile trust company ha
fallen into line with the other large
financial institutions of this city and
declared rs intention of becoming a
national bank. The action comes as a
| result of the provision of the new
pank act. which requires an absolute
separation between the banking de-
partment and the trust department of
the corporation. The board of direc-
tors of the institution feel that a
national bank would be preferable to
state institution, and on account of
tne provision of the new law have de-
cloed to form a national bank and
trust company, the latter to be under
the supervision of the superintendent
of banks
The bank is to be known as the
Mercantile national bank of San Fran
cisco. The capital will be $4,000, 900
and the surplus, to be added later,
Will be $1,0e0,000. The stock is to be
subscribed by the stockholders of the
mercantile trust company in proper
ton to their present holdings.
METHOD OF SUBSCRIPTION
The subscriptions are to be met in
the following manner:
dividend OF 500 per share, aggre-
eating $2,000,000, is to be declared out
OF the surplus of the Mercantile trust
company, the stock holders of the trust
company to use the dividends so de-
clared to take up their respective sub
scriptions for stock of the Mercantile
national bank. The Mercantile ma
tional bank will then assume the de-
posit liabilities of the trust company,
ha &c 81 fhn f,-,1c
company equal to the deposit Iiabili
ties so assumed plus the capital paid
in.
The Mercantile trust company will
subsequently reduce it's capital to
$1,000, 900, this reduction to be dis
tributed among the stock holders,
who will in turn pay the same into
the Mercantile national bank as sur
plus. With this surplus the national
bank will purchase additional assets
from the trust company. The Mer-
camille trust company will continue to
be capitalized for 81 600. 900. which will
other assets. and the trust company
will thereafter devote itself almost
exclusively to the extension and de-
velopment of the trust business.
MAKE CHANGE JULY
1t is hoped by the officials of the
bank that the transfer OF stock certifi-
Gates will be made in short space
OF time in order to make the change
by the time the new bank act goes
into effect, July l. The board of di-
rectors OF the present Mercantile
trust company. who will probably be
placed on the directorate of the new
Institutions are:
