that important office and also as pres
ident of the Union Trust.
Neither Mr.. King nor Mr.. olcott
could have dreamed that the day
would come when the institutions of
which they were presidents would be
merged. For in their time the ten
dency toward consolidation ef bank
ing Institutions had not been de-
veloped-
Some Of the veterans of the finan-
ciai district when speaking of this
merger said that formerly officers OF
the trust institutions Of New York
were esteemed. as a group as per-
haps the ablest bankers Of the coun-
try. There Is admiration, even wonder,
that the young generation occupied in
the national and State hanks and In
private banking institutions OF New
York 10 revealing ability of the high
est order. Of which there has been
special demonstration by reason Of the
relation established between the gov
ernment and our allies since the war
began and the New York bankers.

REACTIONARY tone
IN QUIET MARKET
Questions of World Policy Causes
General Irregularity.

New York, March 4.-Stocks were
reactionary today, but. trading was
quiet and net changes were not large.
Baldwin. Corn Products, Information
al Paper and American Sumatra
were the only ones to show any
vitality. u. S. Steel was sold by
professionals and at one time was
down more than a point.
The irregularity was due to diff
ferences of opinion over the wisdom
of letting the japanese advance
through Siberia to aid the Russians; !;
to the fight developed in Congress
over the war finance bill, and to
the poor bank statement, The bank
statement resulted in an immediate
hardening of money rates to such
an extent that small brokers and
odd-lot brokers were compelled to pay
well above per cent for funds.
Selling OF Studebaker was said to
be due largely to a report that the
government had decided to restrict
the amount OF material to be used
in making passenger automobiles.
This report does not 1T with the
other rumor that Seudebaker has sew
eral thousand cars left over from
last season that must be sold at any
price.
President Colt, OF the U. S. Rub
Der Company, announced that. al
though the concern earned S2ST0 a
share on its common stock in 1917,
no dividends need be expected in the
near future.
The reason Is that such large work.
ing capital is needed. The same
thing is true of Corn Products,
which. according to its report, earn
ed $3.50 a share on the common
stock.
Strength OF some OF the big oil
stocks is due largely al this time to
the high cost of equipment. This
makes it sure that very little new
competition will be hac and the old
concerns will do the axpIorIpC

NCLoOAN,
 Secretary.

Expressing his disbelief in the number of American soldiers in France, Lieut. Gen. von Ardenne tries to console his fellow Huns with a long article in the Dusseldorf Nachrichten, arguing that numbers are not everything" In effect, he ad- mits that there may be consider able number of men wearing olive drab in France. but he contends they haven't the stuff in them to compare with "our brave and efficient de- lenders of the fatherland.'
 Tribute has been paid in the Post to the courageous showing of our troops who have met and yanquished Huns, and whether or not the Teuton lieutenant general and other Teutons have heard about it doesn't matter. But information which the German military authorities did not intend us to get has come to show just what stuff there is in Hun troopers and the unflinching quality of Americans.
 It is a familiar fact that individual bravery is easiest assumed when in company with many supporters. The Huns take courage from going in close formation, even locking arms when marching into action It calls for grit in a man to keep from show ing the white feather when surround ed by enemies. The news has record ed numerous instances of Hun pris- oners that crings to their captors, eagerly telling all they know. Con- trast this with the testimony in doc uments recently captured from Ger mans and Intended only for German officers. the report that American prisoners will not give information.
 The world long has known the saber swishing attitude of Prussian officers toward private soldiers, CUTS ing them and hitting them in the face with the flat of sword This goes to make dumb driven soldierly that is TO more to be classed with Americas fighting free men than the kaiser is to be ranked with President Wilson. --Pittsburg Post
