Now that the district boundaries and

system have been announced. the finan-
cial community awaits with great inter-
compose the board of control Of the new
system. It is regretted, therefore, that
the attention President Wilson has been
obliged to give to the Mexican difficulties
this week will inevitably cause a post
ponement Of the naming Of the federal
reserve board. It is persstently predict
ed that upon the selection of the proper
men to guide the affairs of this new sys-
tenn will depend the success or failure Of
the product of the federal reserve act.
OF the five men to be selected It is pro-
vided that no two shall come from the
same district. No candidates have yet
been announced, nor is 1t likely that any
will be. Nevertheless 1t IL safe to say
there Is no banker in the United States
today, no matter how lucrative his posi-
ton, who would not sever these profitable
lens OF the new system for the benefit Of
his fellow-countrymen.
In connection with the recent announce
ment of the federal reserve organization

the probable size Of these new banks
with some Of the large New York banks
and trust companies.
Other Banks Larger.
For instance. the capital Of the Federal

will be the largest of all the federal re-

The National City Bank, for example.

tional Bank Of Commerce $42,OO000O.
The Bankers Trust Company. the second
largest trust company in the city. has a
capital, surplus and undivided profits OF
$24 800. 900. and the Guaranty Trust Com
pany, the largest Of this class OF institu-
tons in the United States, has over $685.

ity in Structural Work.

NEW YORK. April 25.-There was fur
ther unsettiement of the stock market
today. The movement was irregular and
at times confused. While the downward
movement was extended, net losses were
considerably smaller than on the pre-
ceding day.
The irregularity OF the movement was
accounted for by the play of conflicting
forces on the market. The two main
factors in the weeks decline were the
Mexican crisis and heavy foreign selling.
Today these influences pulled against
each other. Foreign pressure was re-
heved and American stocks in London,
for the first time in several DAYS held
fairly steady. On the other hand the
Mexican situation was as much of a dis
turbing force as before Preparations for
war and the reported assassination Of
americans IN Mexico seemed to Increase
the probability Of serious and protract-
ed struggle and there was corresponding
depression of sentiment.
AT the opening. owing largely to the
change OF front on the part of foreign
holders OF American securities the mar
ket made q good showing, with a major
ity OF small gains. The opportunity was
seized for pouring out stocks and prices
quickly began to yield. On the downward
swing most Of the popular shares fell one
to two points, with wider breaks In some
instances. Liquidation grew more gen
eral as new low marks for the decline
were made.

Mexican Situation a Factor.

The stock markets views on all other
subjects were materially modified this
week. where they were not totally OBJ
scured by the events in Mexico. specu-
lative conjecture was unable to measure
the possible effects on the duration and
extent Of the trouble. On the day follow
ing the capture of Vera Cruz the market
advanced. owing largely to the normal
impulse Of professional spectators to
take quick profits by covering shorts,
Renewed weakness followed maturer con-
sideration. The principal effect on the
New York market was by indirection
from Paris and London selling here,
prompted by the heavy involvement Of
the foreign markets in Mexico's finances
A calm view was held Of the more d.
rect consequences. Diversion of public
and legislative attention from efforts at
business regulation was regarded as q
possible factor of benefit to the market.
The prospect of government bond or
note issues caused fresh reserve in max
ing capital commitments. This was an
influence on the price Of bonds In general
and on plans for financing maturing re-
quirernents.
