The Invasion of New York's
Banking Field by Canadians
Purchase of Merchants National Will Facilitate th
Financing Here of International Trade
Originating in the Dominion
By s. ROY WEAVER

to be an advantage 10 Canadian ma
tional finance. The arrangement at
least has the merit of strengthening
this country's connections IN New
York.
Legal Prohibitions Overcome
In securing control of the Merchants
National the Royal Bank has found a
way TO benefit more fully by its grow
ing business in the United States and
also to facilitate its operations IN the
West Indies. Formerly large amounts
in deposits have been offered to the
branches Of Canadian banks in the
United States, but could not be &C
cepted because Of the legal prohibition
against foreign banking interests TAX
ing deposits. The Merchants National
Bank. retaining its present status and
privileges, will be able TO accept Cana
dian accounts and doubtless will enjoy
preference from Canadian concerns
which do business in New York
In many years the Royal Bank has
had important interests in the West
Indies, where IL has assisted in financ-
ing the sugar crop and other staple
commodities That business has been
steadily growing and has extended TO
the continent of South America. New
York is the natural clearing house at
present for such transactions, so that
control of an American national bank
will be of considerable value to the
Canadian purchasers.
Canadian Capital in Export Trade
Moreover. the Royal, as we'll as other
Canadian banks, has been handling
much international business in the
limited States. American banks were
unable to provide the service required
because they were prohibited from es-
tablishing foreign branches. The
Canadian institutions were under no
such disabilities and with their expert
ence in foreign exchange transactions
we're able to build up highly proilt-
able business south of the information
al boundary. Canadian capital Is still
closely associated with the export
financing Of the Southern cotton crop,
the Pacific Coast fisheries, as well as
considerable trade between San Fran
cisco and the Orient. All the larger
Canadian banks have branches in New
York and several have additional
branches in other cities Of the United
States.
Royal Bank Is Fortified
The arrangement with the Mer-
chants National Bank will render more
secure the position of the Royal Bank
in the event of the United States I'M
posing discriminatory taxation upon
foreign banking interests. The bust
ness Of foreign banks in the United
States is already taxed, and TO Offset
the war burdens on American banks
there is a possibility that prohibitive
taxes might be imposed on other than
domestic banking institutions. Drastic
legislation Of this character is not an
ticipated, but the bare suggestion OF
such indicates how effectively the
ROYAL Bank has intrenched and con-
solidated its position and secured its
American patronage against contin-
gencies.

Tho purchase of majority OF the
canital stock of the Merchants Ma
tional Bank Of New York by interests
closely related to the Royal BANK OIL
Canada has aroused considerable COM
mont in financial circles in the Domlh-
ion. The arrangement affords new EVIL
dence of the steadily widening actiVl-
t;es If the Canadian banking institu-
tions and.the growing importance Oh
their business connections IN New oth'
II nromises considerable benefits to the
povaI Rank. The latter is now ad-
nitted, through the Merchants Ma
tional. to privileges which are denied
directly 20 the agency of a foreign
banking organization.
There is the keenest competition
among the Canadian chartered pahks'
and the Importance of the step taken by
the ROYAL must be fully appreciated by
lie rivals The move appears to be
decidedly strategic coup. The Royal
Rank. which is now the second largest
in the Dominion, is a product OF the
maritime provinces, and prior to l9ol
was known as the Merchants Bank OF
Halifax. Since the head Office was
transferred from Halifax to Montreal,
some years ago, the bank has been sur
prisingly enterprising and aggressive
ABSORPTION Of several other banks
greatly strengthened its position in On
tario and Quebec. Under an exceed
ingly capable and ambitious manage
ment it has been showing the way TO all
councillors during recent years.
Rivals Watch Banks Expansion
Other institutions are known TO be
watching the expansion of the koyai
closely. and the acquisition by 1t OF
controlling interest in the Merchants
National may be followed by new Amer
;csn affiliations on the part of other
Canadian banks.
"Details of the arrangement by which
the Royal Bank can profit by the opera
tions of its American ally are not being
disclosed. 1t is suggested here that
trust company or other similar medium
must be the link, because the Canadian
bank act expressly declares that bank
shall not, either directly or indirectly,
purchase, or deal in or lend money, or
make advances upon the security or
pledge of any share of its own capital
stock or of the capital stock Of any
bank"
A few years ago a financial afiliation
such as that just consummated might
have been regarded with some misgiv-
ing by the people of the Dominion. To-
day it is accepted without question.
Such close relationships with United
States institutions may not be desirable
so far as the national banking interests
Of the Dominion are concerned, but
under present conditions they are likely

HARTFORD ATTORNEY
TOUCHED BY TEARS

While waiting at a Louisville de-
pot. few days ago, for a Frankfort
train Hartford attorney noticed a
young family of man, wife and baby
whose tears indicated distress, and
upon inquiry was informed that the
man had just been drafted for army
service, and that the wife and baby
had made the trip from a central
Kentucky town to Louisville in order
TO spend the last possible moment
with husband and father. While on
the way over to Frankfort the at
torney, whose heart had been touch
ed by the tears of the separating
family, approached the mother with
the inquiry why her husband had not
been exempted from the service, and
from her simple answer discovered
that the people were poor and ig-
norant and were not aware that the
husband was entitled to an appeal
from the service to which he had
been called through some error of
the exemption board. Be it said TO
the softness of the attorneys heart
that he made notes of the circum-
stances of the case, and voluntarily,
without hope of anyother compensa-
ton but the love of justice and SYM
patty for a heart-broken wife and
mother. began at once the prosecu-
ton of an appeal to secure the re-
lease of the unfortunate man from
service in the army.

of about $50 feet, using their ma
chine guns, and penetrated the Ger
man line at one point to a depth of
two and a fifth miles.
The greatest depth of the drive
was in the center of the line, where
the village Chavignon was captured
after a violent struggle which re-
suited in the enemy fleeing pell NELL.
Some OF the best troops in the army
Of the German crown prince were en-.
gagged in endeavoring to hold back
the onslaught, but their efforts we're
unavailing under the enthusiasm of
the French to win positions which
would place them more advantage
ously to press on later toward Laen
For about week the French ar
tillery had been hurting tons of
steel into the German line in front
OF them in preparation for the drive.
and when it was started sad havoc
already had been wrought by the
guns. In addition to the prisoners
taken by the French. the Germans
also suffered heavy casualties.
The latest adviees concerning the
naval activities in the Gulf of Riga
between the Germans and the Rus
slams show that altho the Russians
lost the battleship Slava and a large
torpedo boat destroyer, the Germans
were the heaviest losers. Two of
their dreadnoughts, one cruiser,
twelve torpedo boats, one transport
and numerous mine swepers, were
put out OF action by the Russian
feet While the exact fate of these
vessels has not been ascertained by
the Petrograd government, il is an
nouneed that at least six Of the Ger
man destroyefs were sunk.
Further German attempts to land
forces on the Esthonia coast to the
North OF Werder have been repulsed
by Russian detachments.
