Eldridge E. Jordan that the connection
OF his name with the vacancy in the
Bank was mere gossip was read with a
good deal of interest by those who have
kept track of the situation in that in
stitution. 1t is concluded that the name
of Mr.. Jordan is not on the list that ac-
cord1ng to current rumor is being con-
sidered by the committee appointed to
recommend to the directors man for the
presidency of the bank.
This list is said to contain the names of
w. A. H. Church, A. G. Chaplain and
William A. Mearns. 1t is understood that
In the next few days the committee will
be ready to report.
1t is also the general understanding on
the street that in short time Mr.. Jor-
dan will resign as the president of the
Merchants and Mechanics Savings Bank
owing to other demands upon his time 1t
is said that Julius l. Peyser, the vice pres
ident of the bank, will succeed him.

ing rather slow day on the Stock Ex-
