Merging of Two
Large Banks Is
Nearly Completed
Mechanics and Metals Na?
tional to Increase Its Capi?
tal and Take Over the
Produce Exchange Bank
With the completion of plans fe
:ncreasing its stock capital from
S6.?00.000 to 89.000,000 the Mechanics
-ind Metals National Bank will absorb
he Produce Exchange Bank, accord?
ing to an official announcement yester?
day. A special meeting of the Me?
chanics and Metals stockholders has
be? ^called for March 23 to vote on
u.e proposed stock increase.
When the merger program has been
consummated the combined banks will
have $10,000,0"0 capital. 510,000,000
surplus and about $5,000,000 undivided
profits. Acquisition of the business of
he Produce Exchange Bank will in?
volve the taking over of nine branche-.
The present headquarters of the Prod?
uce Exchange Bank at 10 Broadway
will also be maintained as a branch.
The latter institution now has a cap'
tal and surplus account of $2 500,00?-.
The latest reports of the condition
of the two banks showed that the Me?
chanics and M?lais has gross deposits
of $274,169,410, of which $6,422,000
were government deposits. Deposits
of the Produce Exchange Bank are
approximately $33,000,000, so that the
deposits of the combined institutions
will be in excess of 8300,000,000.
Merging the two banks brings
together a national bank and a state
bank. The law does not permit a na?
tional bank to establish domestic
branches of its own, but does not'
forbid the taking over of a state bank
which already has branches. The
Chatham and Ph?nix National Bank has
several branches in the city acquired
in this way.
The proposed increase in the capital
stock of the Mechanics and Meta] i is
the first in about a decade. The lasr
increase took place when the bank
took over the old National Coppar
Bank. In May, 1914, the business of
the Fourth National Bank was ac?
quired. Tho merger of the Produce
Exchange Bank with the Mechanics and
Metals is the outcome of negotiations
in 1915 which resulted in the latter
obtaining control and the election of
Gates W. McGarrah, president of the
Mechanics and Metals, as president of
the Produce Exchango Bank.
It was announced yesterday that no
official changes are contemplated in
the personnel of the two institution?
after the merger lias been completed.
The new stock, according to present
plans, will be offered at par to Me?
chanics and Metals stockholders in the
ratio of one share of new stock fur
each share now held. As the stock is
now quoted around $450, the "rights"
are worth about S125 a share.

Trend Irregular
On Curb M.arket;
Most Oils Improve
Carib Syndicate Annaunces
Purchase of Control of
Equatorial Oil; De Beers
Share? Advance Sharply
The movement of picea on the Curb
market yesterday was not so clearly
defined as on Tuesday, when the major
j ity of ?stocks advanced rather sharply.
The recovery continued in some issues,
- but there was a cood deal of irregular
; ity which reflected uncertainty among
! traders as to the advisability of press
! ?ng the movement further.
! Oils shares did better as a rule fol?
lowing the development of a better
trend in tins group on the big board.
Carib Syndicate was a strong spot at
31, but lost part of its gani and closed
; at 81.
In connection with the rise in Carib,
C K. MncFadden, chairman of the
! syndicate, announced that control has
' been acquired of the properties of the
, Equatorial Oil Company in Colombia,
*S, A., consisting of approximately 250,
000 acres in practically a solid block
'. adjoining properties of Tropical Oil,
the concern recently taken over by
Standard Oil interests. The lands
comprising the Equatorial Oil conces
: sion extend on both sides of the Sojro
moso River, about thirty miles, and
i practically all the area has been ac
; quired in fee simple, carryinc with it
; the oil rights subject to nominal taxa?
tion, payable to the Colombian govern
ment. The company has placed orders
for drilling equipment to be used in
, proving up the new territory.
Houston Oil after selling at 100,
broke to DO. Shorts covered actively
in General Asphalt early in the day,
but fresh selling offset this, and *hc
Stock turned weak in the afternoon,
closing at ?7% after selline at 91. Gen?
eral Motors "when issued" wat
steadier.
In the mining group a sharp advance
1 in Dc Beers was an interesting de
: velopment. It advanced from 39% tc
; 41% on dealings of 3.000 shares.

Reports of an easier spot situation wore
accompanied nv activo liquidation In the
market during yestorday's earlier trading.
After selling off ?o 35.06c, or GO points
net lower, for May, however, prices ral?
lied on more favorable late advices from
the South and covering. Bulges were not
fully maintained and late fluctuations
were Irregular, hut May dosed at 34.2oc,
or 20 points up from the lowest, with the
general market steady at a net decline of
25 to 40 points.
The market opened barely steady at a
decline of 5 to 30 points lr response to
disappointing Liverpool cr>bles and over?
night advices from the South complain?
ing of a poor spot demand and reporting
an easier basis. Liverpool was a buyer,
but the demand from that source was
much less active than recently, suggesting
that the straddle short interest had been
pretty well covered and selling on the
?ess favorable spot news was probably
stimulated by a belief that futures were
In an easier technical position. After
showing losses of about 37 to 70 points
the market rallied 16 or 20 points on
covering, but met increased offerings, par?
ticularly from houses with Western con?
nections.
It was thought this pressure reflected
the unsettled ruling of the grain markets,
owing to rumors that the government was
taking more aggressive action to reduce
the high cost of living, and there may also
have been some selling on a less favor?
able view of prospects for early action on
the peace treaty. Offerings subsided after
a break of about 40 to 75 points from
Tuesday's final quotations, however, and
there were rallies later on steadier ex?
chango rates ami reports of an improved
tone In the stock market.
The local spot market was quiet and
40 points lower at 39.40c for mldllng up?
land. No sales were reporte.;

Wheat?The market developed a weaker
tono during yesterday's session and prices
tor hard spring wheat in the Minneapolis
market experienced a decline of 1U cents
por bushel. The demand was slow and
probably reflected dullness In the flour
trad'.-. Advices from Washington quo'.ed
the secretary of the Minneapolis Chamber
of Commerce as stating before the Sen?
ate Agricultural Committee that the re?
peal of th? grain corporation bill as ad?
vocated by Senator Gronna might prove
disastrous to producers and holders of
wheat and wheat products According to
"The 1'rice Current" winter wheat, has
commenced to green-up In tho Southwest,
but It Is too early ?or definite information
as to crop conditions. It Is said, however,
that freezing and thawing have caus-d
some dama-te and that Ice-covered llelds
had done more
Corn?The market was weak and lower,
closing with net losses of Ityc to 14c. ?
There was quite active liquidation at times
any buyers were evidently timid. Confidence
was apparently undermined by evidences
that the government intends to Increase its
efforts toward bringing down the coat of
living and that Important developments
may be expected In this direction. Re?
ceipts were again small but country offers
appeared to be somewhat more liberal and
some authorities were inclined to believe
the results of the priority order, which
expired at midnight, will be seen in the
volume of receipts during the next week.
Weakness In the other markets also had
considerable Influence on corn and cash
markets In the West were easier, indicating
a lesa active demand.

Little export demand was In evidence and
exporters were said to be trying to resell '

to the apparent Inability on the part of '
sellers to ship th? oats to the East within
the time specified. Moreover, Canadian
oats were again offered at substantial dis?
counts under American oats and leading
cash merchants here made the prediction
that whatever export business Is done In ,

superior quality of the grain.

Sugar?The suear futures market opened

Iciili business was quiet .owing to the ln
I active and soft raw sugar market. Later
; trading was more active, prices holding
: st.ady on buying, which appeared to come
; through houses *>vith Cuban connections.
Cuba has recently been offering BURar

i there was a feeling In some quarters that
! futures were being purchased In an ef
: fort to stimulate business In actual. A
, sufficient advance In futures to make a
profits ble hedging basis would doubtless
? be reflected in cost and freight trans?
actions.
The market for raw sugar was weak. It. j
? was intimated that 10c c. 1. f. would be !
! considered for some Porto Rico raws press
, ?nit for sale at the close of the day. There ;'
apparently was no market for Cuban raws
and offerings were as low as 9'?c. cos'

: still further declines. Meanwhile, r.-fin- j

price they would pay for either Porto 1

14.50c, or about 15 points below Initial

iiiP, gains of 225 to 325 reis In futures

Not only are the silk factories of
Europe recovering slowly from the ef?
fects of the war, but the Europeans,
because of their lower rate of ex?
change, are suffering from the high
price of Japanese raw stock to a
greater extent than are American
manufacturers, according to investiga?
tors.
A few of the old high grade
European manufacturers are produc?
ing some goods for export, but the
amounts art? small. In France, accord?
ing to the Americans who recently
visited the cloth sections there, the
production of woven silks and other
fabrics is too small to take care of
the local demand, with the result that
the knitting factories of Southern
France, which were untouched by the
war, have been called upon to turn
ou' knitted cloth to clothe the public.
Kritted fabrics, sav those returning
from Paris, are enjoying great
popularity in the French capital and
have been stamped with the approval
of the style originators.
JEWELRY?Buyers Leave
For European Markets
Representatives of several large jew?
elry houses which are importers of dia?
monds and other precious stones have
left for Europe, while others are mak-1
ing preparations to visit the jewelry
manufacturing and stone-cutting cen- j
ters abroad with the object of buying
up all the merchandise they possibly
can. The departure of these buyers j
has be?n hastened by the serious short- ;
age of high-grade jewelry which has de- !
veloped in this country.
Arrangements have been made by a !
few jewelers to go the leading cities of
Czacho-Slovakia with a view to bring- !
ing out stocks of merchandise which
accumulated during the war. Large
quantities of semi-precious stones were
formerly imported from that country,
and, although some consignments are
now being received, the departing buy?
ers are of the opinion that through
their appearance in the Slovakian jew?
elry market considerable stocks will be
obtainable.
Large jewelrjfc orders coming from
the South are ascribed by jewelers to
the popularity of that section as a win?
ter resort. The curtailment of Euro- j
pean tourist travel to a certain extent
has guided to the South many persons
who ordinarily would have gone over- !
seas. Another reason for this South?
ern buying is attributed to the fact :
that cotton planters have received high !
prices for their product for many
months, which brought prosperity all
around and stimulated the buying of
jewelry.
.EATHER?Severe Slump
in Retail Shoe Buying
New York retail shoe stores arc
?lassing through one of the worst
slumps in business for a long time.
The public has stepped out of the
market for the time being, and i?
seemingly uninterested in either style
or price. People refuse to be tempted
by the many reductions in price and
the numerous sales that are being
held.
Most of these sales are of the
genuine variety, and shoes are be?
ing offered in many cases at prices
considerably lower than thev were
originally intended to sell for. This
latter feaure of the trading has hap
pened in the last few weeks as many
of the dealers are losing courage on
some of the longer models of foot?
wear, which they have on their
shelves and are trying to clean them
out. Shoes four inches and longer in
vamp length are not going to be car?
ried very long if shoe dealers? can help
it, notwithstanding the fact that the
pubiic thus far has not turned de?
cidedly against thi? extremely long
/amp. Most dealers feel, however,
:hat the time is not far away when the
long models are going to be a failure
jn the market, and, figuring that a
first loss is the best loss, they are
?nuking1 every effort to clean house on
,hese styles by the time the stocks for
spring arrive. *
Sales of rubber.? and rubber foot
tvear of all descriptions are far in ex
:ess of those of any other season in
.he past, notwithstanding the recent
advance in prices. Lighter shades of
nen's shoes are going very poorly, and
;n spite of the predictions made dur- '
.tig the early part of the season that
-his kind of leather would he in good
lemand ,the trade has taken a deter
nined stand in another direction.
Wholesalers are receiving frequent
?alls for tan and cherry cordovan baU\
? ut have been unable up to the present
?me to curry any of these kinds of
shoes, owing to the scarcity of those
eathers and inability of shoe maifu
"acturers to deliver this kind of mjr
ihandise. Black cordovan also is re?
ceiving attention, and jobbers are
-ilanning to stock this type of shoo
f it is possible for Ihem to obtain the
nerchandise.
Business in ballet and gymnasium
ihoes is holding up well, although
itocks of this class of merchandise are
?caree and hard to obtain. With the
laseball season fast approaching base
mil shoes are bein^r inquired alter ex
ensiveiy and very few pairs are to be
lad. One local jobber cleaned out his
i'!tire stock of these shoes during the
last week, the buyer accepting broken
;izes and several different lasts to fill
>ut the shipment,
