MORGAN HAS JUST
BEGUN CAMPAIGN
TO MERGE BANKS

New York, Jan. 11.-Morgan's COB
bling up OF trust companies and banks
has little more than begun, according
to financial authorities here. His abb
sorption of one great money house or
another meets with no opposition from
the Rockefeller interests, which leads
to the rumor that there Is an under
standing that Ia eventually lead to
the National City banks participating.
in the money combine.
The combination of the Guaranty,
Morton n Fifth avenue concerns is
regarded as only q fOrerunner to a big
ger merger. The financiers connected.
with h absorption OF the Morton and
Fifth Avenue trust companies by the
Guaranty Trust company We're in con-
ference today over the final details OF
the plan.
Tho National City in II, Too.
1t was learned definitely that, while
Morgan & Co. were at the head of the
enterprise, the First National bank and
the National City bank interests were
also more or less closely affiliated with
the scheme. The National City Is q
Standard Oil concern.
The Guaranty company stands forth
In point Of aggregate among
the trust companies of the United
States. The Morton ranks 18th and
the Fifth Avenue 49th. When the mer-
ger is finally effected, the combination
Will show total which proba-
bly, will make it rank first or second
In the list OF the country's trust COM
panies. 1t undoubtedly will take first
position IL the Bankers Trust company
becomes a party to the deal, which is
adleitted to be within the asy posi-
biliNeS of the near future.
The Morgan interests and the Ma
tional City Bank people are working / n
entire sympathy In these matters. J.
P. Morgan, jr., recently became a di-
rector of the National City bank, and
it is known that the Morgan interests
nave materially enlarged their holdings
of National City bank stock.
Is Only the Beginning.
1t is believed that the mergers are
only the beginning Of a larger move
ment and that the Mercantile Trust
company and the Equitable Trust COM
pany eventually will be taken into ONE
sort of a powerful alliance. 1t was
limited today hat the Morgan interests
of the Union Trust company stock
which passed 10 days ago into the pos
session OF Speyer & Co.
The Morgan interests are believed to
be virtually in absolute control Of the
National Bank of Commerce by reason
of h Morgan hous and the large
holdings in the hands Of the Equitable
Life and the Mutual Life insurance
companies. The National Bank of
Commerce is one Of the three largest
banks in Wall street, and because of
its remarkable charter, which is so
drawn as to free it's shareholders from
the double liability clause applied to
other national banks. it's stock has a
unique value.

The divers gear still stood amid
