The printed slip did no more than to hint at the partnership name of this banking com pany. Yet every one associated the re port with the pre-eminently active and organizing banking institution in New York city, whose chief and junior part ners have had conspicuous part in various-organizations and reorganizations in the past ten or twelve years. The exclusion of the earnings of the United States' Steel Underwriting syn dicate from this estimate is probably due to the fact that, while thi3, syndi cate has been practically liquidated the pool disbanded and probably a larT: ger part if not all of the profits have been received, nevertheless the syndi cate has not been formally disbanded and its affairs permanently closed. Of course, the report has been the main subject of discussion and of com parison with other great achievements In the way of rich earnings all through the financial district. It is said that, these figures represent a reasonable In come upon a capitalization of $300,000, 000, so that, looking at the matter from this point of view, this banking institu tion stands relatively!
