MADE PROFITABLE DEAL

NEW YORK, Jan. 1o.--Whether J. p.
skies. cleared up some twenty millions
OF dollars or lost half million is the
question financlers here are trying to
solve to-day.
The friends Of Mr.. Morgan, wha say
he acted unselfshly to save the finan-
ciai situation yesterday. insist that he
took over the stock In the Madison
Trust Company, the Nineteenth Ward
Bank and the Twelfth Ward Bank at
the market price and that in doing so
he also shouldered obligations which
made hts a,ock cost s5SS,000 additional.
Pessimists. however. who seem to aues-
ton the Morgan brand OF philanthropy.
point out that he paid only S2.450. e99
for control of three banking institu
tons whose allied resources are in ex-
cess of s20.00o.00o. Mir. Morgan. these
people say, will shortly liquidate the
three organizations and open In their
stead branches OF his Equitable Trust
Company. 7 he minority stockhold-
ere. 1t Is pointed out, viii have no say
in the matter. as MIR. Morgan, as the
price of preventing a run by the mere
use Of his name, secured the control
of all of the three concerns.
He paid 100000 for control OF the
Nineteenth and Twelfth Ward Banks
and $l.7s0.o00 for the Madison Trust
Company. The latter was n valuable
purchase, az the Morgan interests had
been after 1t ever since II was re-
organized from the old Van Norden
Trust Company.
To pay for the threee institutions II
is expected Mr. Morgan will increase
the stock of the Equitable Trust Com
pany and exchange 1t for the outstand-
ing shares of the three companies, max
ing the actual cost to MIR. Morgan per-
sonally only about what the engravers
bill win be who furnishes the new
stock
The s20.00o,0o0 Of assets Of the three
concerns which were In danger Will add
materially to the attractNeness of the
Equitable Trust Company's balance
sheets hereafter, In the opinion OF
financial exprest who have watched the
present situation.
Normal condition prevailed at all
OF the banks to-day. the slight run
on the Nineteenth and Twelfth Ward
banks and the Madison Trust Company
which prevailed yesterday is not being
renewed.
1t was stated by State Superinten-
dent of Banks Cheney to-day that the
affairs of the Carnegie Trust Company
will be liquidated at once and no at
tempt vii be made TO put the insti-
tuition in shape to continue busi-
ness.
