ADDITIONAL TRUST
 COMPANY CONSOLIDATION.
Enormous Sum of s21oyooo,ooo in De- .posits Alone Under Consideration.

New York, Jan. 4.-J Pierpont Nor gan and associates may control through further trust company merg- CTS in New York now under considera- ton the enormous sum of $210,000, ,000 in deposits alone. This is approxi- mately S25,000, ,000 more than the depos- it's of the National City bank of this city. the largest financial institution in the United States.
 Reports of additional trust company consolidation are given cerdence in the merger by J. P. Morgan & Go. of the Guaranty Trust, Morton Trust and Fifth Avenue Trust companies, with combined deposits of about S15o,000,- coo. This brought a revival in the financial district of rumors embracing the Bankers Trust and the Manhattan Trust companies in the same combina- tiOn. There were definite rurnors that the Mercantile Trust company and the Equitable Trust company eventually will be taken into some sort of a pow erful alliance.
 In point of fact, the Bankers Trust company is already closely affiliated with the so-called Morgan interests in that two partners in the Morgan bank ing house-George w. Perkins and Henry P Devison-sat in the director ate of the former. Other directors of the Bankers Trust company, including A. B. Hepburn and A. H. Wigg1n,p ,presl- dent and vice president, respectively of the Chase National bank, and Will liam H. Porter, president of the Chem icaI National bank, are active in the affairs of the Guaranty Trust company, which is to be made the titular head of the Guaranty Morton-Fifth Avenue consolidation.
 Relations between the Morgan inter ests and the Manhattan Trust company have always been intimate, though the latter is not regarded as a Morgan ap- bondage. It is perhaps significant that the building now occupied by the Man haitian Trust company is to be razed soon, to make way for a thirty-two story building to be erected by the Bankers Trust company.
 Deposits of the Bankers Trust ag- gregate $45, 100000, and those of the Manhattan Trust $1S,400.000, so that the two companies, if combined with those now in process of absorption by "J. P. Morgan and associates" would total in deposits more than two hun dred million dollars.
 National banking interests do not look with uniform favor on the in- crease in trust company power. It was pointed out today that fnasmuch as the law makes it possible for the trust companies to hold stocks and to enjoy other advantages forbidden to banks by the provisions of the national bank ing act. it would be easily possible for the large trust companies to take up many underwriting propositions which the large banks of Wall street. under the law. found it inexpedient to handle.
