Bank Files Petition To
 Dividend
Merchants Ready to Pay Ten Per Cent on COm- mercial AccOunts-Ap- proximately $20O,O Ready to Meet Obliga= tiOnS

The petition asking the courts permission to pay a 10 per cent dividend on the commercial depos- it's in the Merchants Trust con- pany was filed to-day in the su- perior court. It will come up for consideration by Judge Allyn N. Brown at Fridays short calendar session of the court.
 The petition states the receiver, the Citizens & Manufacturers Ma tional Bank has cash allocated to the commercial side in the amount sufficient to pay 10 per cent div idend, totaling about $150,00O.
 In addition, the petition states that the dividend will include pay ments on the Lire deposits, the deposits taken over by the Mer- chants Trust company in the merg- CT with the Peoples Bank & Trust company. It will be remembered that the question arose as to how the receiver should treat these &C., counts inasmuch as the market on Lire, Italian money exchange, had fiuctuated since the original depos- it's were made.
 The court has not ruled on the question but it is understood that the receiver will make the pay ments based on the rate of eX- change on the day the Merchants Trust company closed last Decem- Der 23d.
 The dividend will also include payments on certificates of depos- it's.
 Of the $15O,000 to be paid out, should the court approve the order, | $20,Q00 will be used as a set off and applied to other obligations of the depositors That is, the receiver will apply $20,000 of the dividend against notes due the Merchants Trust company by depositors with accounts on the commercial s,de.
