NATIONAL CITY TO !.
. ENTER NEW SYSTEM
Largest Institution of Kind iff
Country Likely to Accept
New Currency Law.

New York. January 2S-That the
National City Bank. tho largest insti-
tuition OF Its kind In tho country, will
In all probability enter the Federal
reserve system to be created by the
new currency law, was learned from
officials OF tho bank to-day. This puts
at rest rumors recently current to the
effect that tho National City Bank con
templntod eurrendering its Federal
charter and merging with the Corn
Exchange Bank, tho largest State In
stitution.
1t Is probable that no public state
ment will DO made until the return OF
Frank a. Vanderbilt, president of tho
National City Bank. who now ia in
Paris comforting with James Stillman,
tho chairman OF tho board OF directors.
1t was the opinion OF other bankers
day that tho attitude OF tho National
city Bank assures tho entrance OF vir-
tually all other national banks Of i'm
portanco In this section OF tho ooun-
try where opposition to tho law has
been most pronounced.
One OF the chief causes OF opposs-
ton on the part OF New York banks to
tho now Federal system has been the
belief that they would DO deprived OF
the power OF keeping funds OF out-of-
town institutions which aggregate
hundreds OF millions of dollars. and
the handling of which has been ex-
tremely profitable. Under the new
system these funds will be diverted to
tho regional banks.
