New York Avenue Savings Bank, ma
terialize, Washington will have a
total of forty-five banking institu.
tions. OF this number, twenty-one. in
cluding the new Liberty National
Bank. will come under the head Of
National banks or trust companies
When compared with other cities Of
approximately the size of the Nation
al Capital, 1t would appear that Wash
ington has more banks than any other
city of the like size in the country.
The Manual of Statistics for 1919
lists the number of national banks
and trust companies in various cities
as follows: Columbus, Ohio, IL; De
troit 10; Newark. II; New Orleans,
13: Denver, 10: Los Angeles, IA, and
Milwaukee, 10.
In view of the large number Of
| banks In Washington, many of which
are close to one another. there are
persistent rumors in banking circles
that the new year will see a few con-
/ solidations OF banking institutions in
| this city. All such rumors have been
| denied by the officers Of he banks
! that have been mentioned, but certain
consultations that have been talked
| of have appeared entirely logical to q
number of the local bankers.
The new bank on New York Ave.
,, nue. is being organized by a committee
of which ]. Rozier Biggs is chairman
| and Arthur c, Moses, treasurer. The
capital stock Of the new bank, which
| will do a savings and commercial
business. will be 100000.
The Liberty Savings Bank, which
was scheduled to move into it's new
| building at Fifteenth and I streets
on January I. will not occupy tie
new quarters until February, accord .
ing to officers of the bank. The re-
moval is being held up on account Of
the absence of the vault. which mas
| not yet been shipped from Canton,
Ohio.
Applications to the Comptroller of
| the Currency during the week ended
| December 26, 1919, numbered eleven,
representing an aggregate capital of
| $4,075. 900. During the same week
eight charters were issued to banks
having a total capital Of $475,OOO.
Facing the year 1920" states Hen

United States stands as the only free
gold market in the world. as the only
! important market for capital on a
large scale and as as the most ex-
lensive source of raw materials as

istence. The shortage of inmediats

and the effort to contract credit are
elements in the policy Of maintaining &

be expected to continue.
THE outlook for 1920, given due

difficulties to be overcome are great,
and the necessity for self-control in
the use of credit is more marked than
for long time past

COULD NOT DISL0DGE ROCK
When Nature Placed Freak on Berk-
shire Hills, She Evidently Put
II There to Stay.

The famous balanced rock" near
LanesbOro, Mass, in the historic Berk-
shires, is one of the strange sights OF
this region of hidden mountain caves,
snow-capped hills and folklore that
rivals fiction. This rock, which weighs
several tons, is apparently in a pre-
carious position on the sheer edge of
another rocky formation beneath IT..
One would think that very slight
push indeed would dislodge it from
its position.
Balanced rock" Is located on Con-
stitution hill, the eminence named
after Constitution" Smith, who was
instrumental in ratifying the Ameri-
can Constitution. An old farmer or
Lanesboro thought he could pull bal.
anced rock" from its position by har'
Messing up several pairs of oxen, at
taching a chain to the rock and hav-
ing the animals strain on the rock
together. The experiment failed. The
rock could be rocked back and forth,
but could not be dlslodged.
The ice flow of the glacial period
Is believed to have been responsible
for placing the huge rock in its pres
ent position.

Weather and Crop Conditions

temperatures during the first half OF
the week were below the normal and
were not favorable for rapid growth OF
crops, but above normal temperatures
during the after half were highly fay-
orable for the rapid growth of all yege-
talon. Showers occurred generally
and were heavy in some eastern couh-
ties where delayed planting resulted
from too wet soil. Farm work pro-
crossed rapidly except where The
ground was too wet. Corn and potato

She was having trouble with a burly
worker from the Eureka Gold Stamp

trouble was over the punishment
