MERGER APPROVED

Of Stockholders.

Definite plans for the merging of the
New York Trust Company and the Lib
erty National Bank were approved and
recommended to the stockholders of the
two institutions by their respective
boards at meetings yesterdays. The board
of trustees of the New York Trust Com
pany declared a cash dividend of per
cent. and stock dividend Of &C % per
cent. which will bring both concerns
capitalization and their asset values
more nearly together for the purposes
of the merger.
The Liberty National Bank has cap
ital stock of s5,000,000 and the stock
dividend will raise that of tho New York
Trust Company to like amount, giving
the combined organization, which will
also be known as tho New York Trust
Company, a capitalization of $40, ,O0O,-
coo. The cash. dividend was declared for
the purpose of adjusting assets to a
basis more nearly equivalent to that on
which the Liberty will enter into the
combination. After the adjustment of
assets the combined balance sheet of the
institutions is substantially as follows:

REFINED PRICES DROP
AS SUGAR WAR RACES
Federal Cuts 65 Points Net
for Day.

The trade war which has been going
on in the sugar industry for a long
time between the Federal Sugar Refin-
ing Company on the one hand and the
American Sugar Refining Company and
several other concerns on the other
blazed forth again yesterday in a new
series of cuts in the price OF refined
sugar, the Federal continuing just one
jump ahead of the rest as regarded low
prices.
Cuts OF refined sugar in the last few
weeks have become very common,
scarcely a week that did not recorl
one cut to half a dozen reductions in
prices quoted by refining companies go
ing by. But yesterday two important
price reductions were announced by each
faction. The first gun was fired when
the American Sugar Refining Company
announced cut of 7.50 to 7.25 cents
for the refined product. Most other
sugar companies Immediately announced
a similar cut.
There. however, was an exception.
That was the Federal, which promptly
announced flat price of cents for re-
fined sugar. Immediately the American
and most of the other sugar refiners met
the Federal price, whereupon the Fed
eral people sent out another announce
ment to the effect that their price for
sugar was 6.s5 cents, a net cut on the
day Of 65 points, against a so point re-
duction by other refiners.
The demoralized condition of the re-
fined sugar market was reflected some
what in the state of the market for raw
sugars. Cuban raws were offered at
3M cents, and a reduction of lis from
Mondays last sales. That price was
within "a of a cent OF the December low
mark of 35s cents Porto Ricos declined
to Az cents, C. |. f., and full duty
sugars to 31a cents. C. j. (.

COPPER PRODUCERS
FIGURE ON EXPORTS
Surplus in U. s. 600;O00,000
Poupds-S52, 100000 Sale
to Germany Rumored.

Several plans for handling the big
surplus OF refined copper in this country
are under consideration by the pro-
ducers through their alliance in the
Copper Producers Export Association.
At a meeting of the association yester-
day the proposals were gone over care
fully and 1t was announced that the
copper men are trying, as they have
been trying for a long time, to work out
something constructive.
The producers have two plans under
consideration. One of them provides for
an issue of notes, which would be dis
counted by the War Finance Corporation
The other is for the issuance of deben-
lures. In either case the obligations
would be secured by copper.
Surplus stocks of refined copper in
this country aggregate about 500, 100000
pounds. just slightly more than the
total exports of copper in 1870. Be-
cause of the case with which the cop
per producers may cooperate under the
Webb Pomerene act, and because the
domestic market is at a standstill
while the foreign market awaits only
financial arrangements, the copper men
have turned their efforts toward work
ing out q plan for exporting the sur
plus.
IL any important amount of business
for foreign account is taken, it was
pointed out yesterday, not only would
the members of the Copper Export Asso-
citation benefit, but producers not allied
with that organization would also be
taken into the transaction. This was
taken to indicate that any business
which might come from foreign sources
would be of tremendous volume.
One story that gained considerable
publicity in the financial district yester-
day was that the Copper Export Associa-
tion had sold 400,000,000 pounds of cop
per for export, presumably to Germany,
and that the amount involved, totalling
$52,000,000, was to be arranged for
through a syndicate of bankers who had
agreed to finance the sale. Copper men
denied knowledge Of any such arrange
ment, and at least one characterized the
amount mentioned as ridiculous. Bank
ing interests, too, professed to know
nothing about it.
1t is expected that a formal statement
will be given out soon by the copper pro-
ducers, setting forth their position and
making clear what they purpose to do.
A statement regarding their reported de-
cision to withhold copper from the mar
ket until the price has come to more
profitable level is also expected.

CANVASS ROADS ON
NEW ENGLAND FUND
Ballot Will Determine Animus
of Companies on Plan for
S15,600,000 Pool.

A letter ballot, sent out last night to
every trunk line railroad that delivers
freight to New England lines. will de-
termine whether or not the former will
be willing to contribute proportionately
to pool of s15.6oo.ooo to aid the New
England roads in meeting their fixed
charges.
The problem was taken UP In Wash
ington last week and thoroughly
threshed out and the figure of $15.-
between the 100000 which the roads
wero willing to contribute to the pool
and the $27,500.00o for which the New
England roads had asked. 1t had been
expected that yesterdays session would
be merely formal ratification by the
executives of this compromise agree
ment. The meeting, held In the New
Haven board rooms. lasted, however, all
OF the afternoon, and at its conclusion
William II. Williams chairman, an
nounced that no further action could
be taken until answers should be re-
ceived from all of the roads.
Mr.. Williams said that this was
necessary as some of the roads desired
to have the problem passed on by di-
rectors. Rumors were rife that the con-
ference had struck snag, but they
were denied by several executives. u. j.
Pearson of the New Haven. which will
be the chief beneficiary Of the fund, au-
thorized this statement: "The New
Haven has agreed with all other roads
present to the matters considered"
The proposed pool of funds is in lieu
OF redivision of joint freight rates by
the carriers west of the Hudson River.
The New England lines applied to the
Interstate Commerce Commission for a
redivision of the rates on their claim
that they were being used largely as
terminals by the trunk lines and that
that short haul business was not sufi-
ciently profitable to enable them to pay
fixed charges. Il. E. Clark. chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
suggested that the roads get together
and attempt a settlement The compro-
mise figure of S15,600,000 was the re-
suit
The pool is avowedly a temporary ex-
pedient designed to help relieve a crit
ical situation and If approved will eX-
tend probably only from January 1, 1921,
to March /, 1922. Existing rate divisions
will not be disturbed for the present at
least. although the hearings In wash
ington will be continued that the cases
Of trunk lines and New England roads
may be completely on record.
1t is understood that contributions to
the pool will be mado on the basis OF a
fixed percentage Of gross freight re-
ceipts. If the railroads reurn a favor
able answer to the letter ballot it Is ex-
pected that the New Haven will receive
approximately Ss,O00,000, the Boston
and Maine about s4,500,000 and the
Bangor and Aroostock and Maine Cen
tral the balance.
Mr.. williams of the Joint conference
committee said that another conference
probably would be necessary, when the
ballots should be received and tabu-
lated.
