CHANGES EXPECTED IN
MERCHANTS NATL BANK
Forthcoming Election May Re
suit in New Management

Efforts on the part Of an outside
syndicate to gain control Of the Mer-
chants National Bank are expected TO
result in interesting developments at
the annual meeting Of stockholders on
January 9. George Cofing Warner, a
lawyer. Of 40 Broadway, and the syndi-
cate manager, feels certain that the in
terests he represents will succeed in
bringing about new management by
the election OF a board Of directors
acceptable TO the syndicate.
Reports yesterday that Robert N.
Galloway, president, and other officers
Of the bank had already resigned were
denied. In the event Of their retire
ment it was stated that no such action
would be announced before the results
Of the forthcoming meeting OF share
holders were known.
Mr. Warner and his associates are
understood to hold close to a majority
of the 10000 shares Of the Merchants
National. He recently issued letter
stating that he was authorized to bid
$3.50 a share for all or any part Of 500
shares Of the banks stock.

SUIT STARTED OVER
RUSSIAN CAR CONTRACT

A suit for s1,5OO,OOO damages has
been brought by Newman Erb, formerly
president of the Minneapolis & St
Louis Railroad, against the Bettendorf
Company, of Bettendorf, Iowa, for
breach of contract in the construction
of 1900 gondola cars for the Russian
government.
It is alleged that the Iowa concern
is unable to properly finance the order.
Negotiations are under way BY Mr.. Erb
to place the contract elsewhere.
J. w. Bettendorf, president Of the
Bettendorf Company, recently wrote to
"Tha Railway Age Gazette" in refer
ence TO the order now under litigation
as follows:
Mr.. Newman Erb secured contract from
the Russian government for 1000 gondola
cars, and we have been negotiating WIN
him during the last several months Tor the
manufacture Of these cars, but the terms
OF payment set forth In our proposition,
calling for segregation Of funds. could not
be met. and we therefore finally found II
necessary 20 withdraw our proposition

its bank now carries three or four
times that amount. There is an
extra element OF uncertainty about
them. The former rules Of OK
pectancy DO not hold. Therefore, a
bank moves with unusual caution
and takes less for granted than
would at another time be safe. De
posts that grow like magic may dis
appear rapidly. Moreover. the bank
ing system is new. Reserves are
lower than ever before. Banks are
trusting partly to reserves which
they keep in their own vaults and
partly TO those they keep on de
post with the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn. If the present ratio Of re-
serves 10 deposits were transposed
bodily to a time preceding the open
ing Of the Federal Reserve Bank
system, or If the Federal Reserve
system should be suddenly wiped out,
leaving loans and gold reserves as
they are, we should have a panic at
once. Nobody could borrow a dollar
more. The banker is in a region Of
new experiences, and he is less con-
cerned about the stock market than
the stock market thinks he ought
70 be.

The movement Of money from New
York westward is very interesting,
the more so as 1t was unexpected.
There are various explanations. The
principal one Is obvious when it IS
thought Of. Eastern banks prin-
cipally buy the foreign loans. The
proceeds Of those loans are spent
mainly I'm the West. Thus, Europe
borrows in the East and spends in
the West. Naturally, therefore, the
West has a tremendous call upon
the money Of the East The agents
Of European buyers pay with drafts
against their New York credits. The
Western manufacturers who receive
these drafts present them at their
banks. and their banks call upon
New York for payment. Western
bank deposits by this procedure are
increased. Some Of the money may
return 10 New York, but the return
IS slow and roundabout The West
ern bank, instead Of the Wall Street
bank, may become a lender Of call
money on the Stock Exchange, at a
fancy rate.

GERMANY GETS
TEXTILES FROM
PAPER YARNS
A New Industry Spreading
Over Deutschland-The
Great Oil Prize
m, wireless to The Tribune. via sayvIuel
RcrLin- Deccmbcr | / =.

Berlin, December IL.
The German entrance into the
Rumanian oil fields will have i'm
portant consequences. To be cut
off from this source of supply was
a very serious matter for Germany,
as may be Judged by the fact that
the night after Rumania's declara-
ton of war the use of petroleum for
lighting was prohibited in the Ger
man Empire. Now there will be re-
lief. Rumania's oil production is
100000 tons annually. Germany's
normal importations are 1,2SO,OOO
tons a year. German capital, to-
gether with that of the Dutch oil
group, controls nearly one-half of
the entire Rumanian production.
The remainder is controlled by the
Rockefeller group, together with the
English, French, Belgian and Ru-
mauian groups. The Importance Of
this new situation TO you is that
formerly Americans controlled the
German market for petroleum, sup
plying it with about 60 per cent Of
its requirements. In the future you
will have to compete with the Ger
man interest in Rumanian oil.
The most important new war in
dustry now is spreading over the
whole country. 1t is the manufact-
ure of paper yarn, the necessity for
which arose from the scarcity of
textile fibres. At first this paper
warn was available only as sub
stitute for jute. but now, by i'm
provement of method and machin-
cry. it becomes available as a sub
stitute for cotton.
In the first two years of the war
the German army consumed 1929
100000 cigars, 4,OOO,OOO,0O0 ciga-
rettes and 81 ,15O tons Of tobacco.
In the first year it consumed 1885,
100000 portions of meat; in the sec
ond only 127,OO0,OOO portions Of 200
grams each.
In the first year it consumed 1885,
900 cattle; in the second 10000. In
the first year it consumed $4,000
porkers; in the second only $4,000.
In two years it has consumed
286,0 tons Of potatoes.
Thirty-nine collieries and indus
trial companies, representing 1,643,-
100000 marks capital, after $685.
100000 marks deductions, against
1S6,OOO,0 900 marks last year, show
net earnings of 327,OOO,OOO marks
against 1914 100000 marks last year,
or an average of 1922 per cent
against II per cent. The present
value of inventories is COL, 100000
marks, against 446,OOO,0OO marks
last year.
