BANK STOCK SALE
IS NEAR A REALITY
Block of 1900 Shares Com.
merciaI National will Give
Control Locally.
NO CHANGES IN OFFICERS
BY I. A. FLEMING.

A shifting Of ownership Of SUFFICIENT
stock in the Commercial National
Bank to give insiders IN that institu-
ton practically 81 per cent or the
capital stock Of 100000 Is indicated
as a probability Of the next two or
three days.
The group Of capitalists who ac-
quired some 5000 shares through w.
b. Hibbs & Co. some months ago are
said to be back of the present pur-
| chase. with a number of local busi-
ness men.
The price paid for the 5000 shares
was 5000 a share: the present option.
which may and probably Will be ex-
ercised Monday. is said to be less than
| that paid for the big block.
At the time the Metropolitan Trust
Company of Boston acquired through
w. b. Hibbs the big block OF stock
for itself and associates the announce
| ment was made with considerable
positiveness that a former president
of the Commercial National Bank was
| in no way interested in the purchase.
After the closure of the transaction
an effort was made to elect this party
as chairman Of the board of directors.
The purchase Of the present block
Of stock. il made, and there is every
reason to believe that it will be, will
give this syndicate or group the
power to return Ashton G. Clapham
| to the presidency Of the Commercial Ma
tional Bank, il such is their desire.
It is claimed. however, by some OF
the interested parties that the con-
trolling factor does not desire any
change in the personnel of the Com
| mercial National. but has acquired its
stock as an investment, to stop the
continual rumors of change that have
not been for the interest OF the bank,
| to say the least.
The block of stock now under op-
tion, about 1900 shares, includes the
remainder of the holdings of Frank
P. Harmon and those OF several OF his
| associates. who will probably retire
from the directory of the bank with
him at the next meeting of the board
of directors, or at special meeting to
be held before next Thursday.
During the last few weeks several
attempts have been made to acquire
large blocks of stock in the CONNER
cial National Bank. and at one time
the Metropolitan Trust Company OF
Boston was on the verge of disposing
of 1000 shares to q local banker, but
| a difference of few points stopped
| the sale. The participation Of the
company in the present transaction.
| as indicated, would seem to point to a
change Of front and determination to
| hold on to the investment.
This afternoon the statement was
reiterated with positiveness that the
contemplated requirement of the con-
| troll of the Commercial National Bank
was for the express purpose Of keep
ing control permanently among local
| business men, and that no change in
the official roster of the banks officers
was contemplated.
