resumption Of large scale buying opera

CHICAGO IS FACING
TRACTION PROBLEM

Firms to Confer on Plans

BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.


special DlSpaICn 10 the Sb&rs
CHICAGO, October 49, Chicaeo's
big problem is that of adequate trans
portation. It hasn't got it today. It
has elevated and surface and bus lines.
But they are all separate and distinct
FROM each other. 1t has suburban
Central, which help to relieve the traffic
congestion during the o'clock rush.
But downtown merchants are COM
planning that business is being taken
away from them because Of poor trans
portation accommodations.
Thousands of people will not 60 TO
the loop section when they can secure
the articles they need in the outlying
sections. Some of the leading stores,
therefore, are establishing branches.
large ones, too, in the outlying dis
tricts..
The traction problem has been a
stalemate In this city for years. No
one seems to have authority or power
to push it. The condition of the
financial structures of the different
companies will not permit them to ex-
pand with the normal growth of the
city.
Plans Settlement.
Samuel insult, head of Chicago
Rapid Transit Co., has invited four
leading bankers to form a committee to
work out a $3.50 ,000, 900 consolidated
traction settlement satisfactory TO both
the city and the lines.
Three of these bankers head large
Chicago commercial banks. They are

Chicago have almost three times as
large deposits as the national banks.
Still the number of independent
banks total 223, which is remarkable
in view of the intense period Of consol-
tdations and mergers through which
the banking world has been going dur
ing the past two years. All evidences,
however, point to an increasing activity
in this territory IN the next two months.
Chicago bankers have been studying
the situation for months. One group
has made particularly careful and
exhaustive survey of the whole bank
ing field. Now they are ready to ex-
pand their field of banking operations.
Banking Problems.
When the 1.100 delegates to the
eighteenth annual convention of the
Investors Bankers Association get
down to real business at Quebec three
big questions win be given consider
ation-the state of the general credit
situation, the technique of equity
financing and chain banking.
Perhaps more oficial discussions will
relate to other questions, but the subject
which will occupy first place in the dis
cussions around the hotels viii be that
"a Tic new ScI-up III banking. NO men
are more concerned in this subject than
the investment brokers except, perhaps,
the commercial bankers themselves.
A considerable part of the invest
ment bankers business has been in
selling bonds to the $4,000 independent
banks in the United States for their
secondary reserves. The investment
bankers are meeting in country which
has but IL banks, with thousands of
branches. But the investment end of
these IL banks Is controlled in the main
offices of these few banks, located
largely In Toronto and Montreal.
Should chain banks continue to de-
velop and expand in as rapid a way
as it has during the past year, the In
vestment banker, instead of dealing
with 10000 banks. win find himself
dealing with fewer and fewer. He
wants to know whether the same
situation that now prevails in Canada
In the banking field will be repeated in
the United States.

With this problem out Of the way,
Chicago will be ready for her future
expansion. One Chicago investment
banker estimates that the dealers in
ventory of tax-exempt bonds has been
reduced in the last 80 days almost so

The bond market Is looking up, and
bond men are more cheerful In view
ing the next few months than they
have been at any time during the last
in an unsteady, unsatisfactory way,
thousands Of investors, who have been
putting all Of their surplus money into
the stock market, are beginning to
drift back to conservative bonds.
This Is greatly helped by O reduc-
ton in the call loan rate. Should that
rate remain at per cent, or at any
figure near that amount for any length
of time, the bond market would show
considerable improvement.
Chicago bankers feel particularly
pleased because Of the overSuhscription
for the $l00,000,000 Of the Texas Cor
poration debentures, the largest offer
ing in the United States this year. 1t
was handled by the Continental Illinois
Co. of Chicago. This important flnanc-
ing, so satisfactorily handled, is an
other indication that Chicago is becom-
ing an independent financial center.
Bank Mergers.
Bank consultations and mergers,
the opportunity, have been
relatively few in Chicago. This second
largest American city has SO national
banks, with combined deposits Of $780,
000,0 Three of these, however, have
about two-thirds Of this amount-the
