Should the National City and the
Mechanics and Metals banks of New
York consummate a merger then
there would be for the first time a
departure from the fundamental
policy which was established by the
late James Stillman, after he became
president of the National City bank.
He was opposed at least so far as the
City bank is concerned, to gaining an
increase in strcngthj resources and
securing: greatly enlarged deposits by
absorbing any other bank. He be-
.,, licved that the National City bank
T.3
I mi
po
should gam strength through rts own
initiative and by bringing into its sup
port and into association with it some
e.t tne more poweriui inuuences ot me
day. Thus he did bring into associa
tion with the bank the socalled
Rockefeller and to some extent the
Standard Oil and sugar influences.
All who have followed the growth
of the National City bank until it has
become one of the world's greatest
banking instiutions will be astonished
to learn that the reports, some of them
a year or more old, which have told
of contemplated absorption by the
" City bank of the ; Mechanics and
Metals were well founded. Of course
there was some . fascination in con-
- ret tplating the result which would
follow absorption. t would make
the. institution on a par almost with
the largest of the jont stock banks
of London. The figures would tell
of billions in resources and dcposits;
Moaern iraiarncy.
It may, 1 that some foundation did
mint for thpiio re-ports, hut It Is very
doubtful whether any could he traced to
the present ownership of the National
rity bunk. Ths Mechanics and Metal bank
doe represent the modern tendency to
t.ulld up a very strong bank by the ab
sorption with It of one or two other banks.
. At one time or anomor reports unirai
J si hie to their source of the merger of the
1 stlona1 City hnnk with' the Bank of
i .......... nm with the Hanover bank were
In circulation, but It was soon discovered
that these reports were based wholly upon
liirlnatlpn. ,
What intercsta bankers of New York
and bankers In other parts of the ooun
tiy more ' than the reports of the con
solidation of the City bank or any other
benk. la the very evident competition
which Is now In progress between the
National City and the Guaranty Trust
company. Tears ago bankers used to won
der whether It would be possible for any
other hanking Institution to take the pres
tige ao long enjoyed by the Chemical bank
awav from It. That prestige was lost
rhlsfly through the consolidation of vari
ous hanks In New York. Now the wonder
is whether the Ouarantv Trust Is to pass
th National City with respect to re
oureee, erength' and Influence, or wheth
er the National City will continue to
maintain Its prestige among New York

attention hv renson of hla success as a
Boston banker. He was a Harvard man and
was poesesa or sumficnt wmnn m

the prealdency of the Chase National and

various highly tmoortant and difficult
financing undertakings with which he was
compelled as president of the bank te

these problems, not sparing himself In
any way. At last hl pervoug system was

for hlra. Although he has resigned the

t , Oil gad Caal. ,
The gtrlVe of ,lhe coal miners In Great
Krltain has, as la understood In New York,
led te the contemplation of the use of oil
and electricity In place of coal for secur
ing; Industrial power. Already use of this
kind has been begun In some of the New
England Industries. One of the reasons
why the substitution of oil for coal Is
favorably contemplated Is to he found in
the fact that It would be impossible to
lie up oil as etrtgea might tie up coal
mines. ' In' England also there la disposi
tion to utilise gome of the water power
which by the employment of the dynamo
would be able to furnish electric energy
in amounts sufficient to operate her In
dustrie. In fact when Great Britain re
covers from the Vffecta of the war in all
probability electricity generated by water,
power will supplant coal for the operation
of the English rsllroads.

Cattle receipt of rattle dropped to
5.00U head- today but the market showed
no appreciable improvement, owing to
healthy shipping demand for desirable
light " and handy weight steers; these
ruled fully steady but heavy cattle were
slow sale and unevenly lower. Cow and
heifers were in moderate supply and fair
demand at practically steady figures but
both beef steers and cow are anywhere
from weak to 2640o lower than the close
of last week. Dullness was the outstand
ing feature of the stocker and feeder
trade and prices are quotable 16 60c
lower than a week ago.

Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day
Chicago Grain
BY CHARLES D. MICHAELS
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Dee Leased Wire
Chicago, April 20. An active cov
ering movement m a well sold out
market, with an over-etxended. short
interest sent prices for all grains
sharply higher today. .The close was
at the top with net gains of 2 1-4 to
4c on wheat; 2 1-4 to 3c on corn,
1 5-8(gl 7-8 on oats and 2 1-8
2 5-8 on rye. Prices were down to
new low level for July wheat and
corn and oats early, while at the last
all were in the offers. To have prices
touch both in one day is unusual.
It was not as easy to buy wheat
after the first break, which carried
July corn down to $1.01 3-4, a new
low level for the season. Mav,
which showed the most strength,
after touching $1.20 1-4, shot to $1.26,
with the finish at almost the top.
Intimations that the winter wheat
crop has beenv hurt in parts of Kan
sas, Missouri and Illinois By tne re
cent freeze, combined with reports
that India may have to . import
whMt had a hnllisli effect.
The big buying was by houses which
had been the best sellers ot late. They
took July freely, while houses with sea.
board connection took the May and July
in a h-bv that attracted attention and
created more confidence. Theihort were
on the run at th last.
Strength In corn, a good milling de
mand with only 20.(00 bushels available,
coupled with reports of export bualness,
helped to create a better tone.
Export Trade large.
Export buying of corn was larger, with
935,000 bushels sold to the east at the
best prices of the season. No. 3 grade
brought better than May delivery piles
and nearly every cash house In the trade
made" sales. Charters were made for 400.r
000 bushels at 22c to Buffalo, an ad
vance of J4c. Elevator houses were active
in buying May, selling July to change
spreads at 2 fee. Shorts were big uyers
and wime it was saiu tnai most or tne
buying by the seaboard was speculative. It
had a good influence.
Report of crop damage in Illinois and
Missouri, combined with a little outside
Investment buying and the covering by
shorts, caused the advance In oats. Local
professionals. ' commission houses and
horts competed for the offerings. Prices
advanced 2 92 He with May leading, and
closed at 37 9 38c for May and 319
39V4c for July. Cash prices were IVic
higher at the last.
Seaboard buying or May rye, witn itgm
offerings, advanced it 3 "4c, while other
months moved up 33fcc. Export sale
were 10,000 bushel at 15c over May, c.
1. f. Buffalo.
nt ete. .
A more hopeful feeling prevailed in the
grain trade, with leading professionals
more Inclined to take the buying side on
breaks. The big advance In all grain
showed the oversold condition and that
the market had been well iiquiaatea.
Today' advance showed the Importance
of having a short interest In the market.
a all sales must be bought back and It
creates a sustaining factor at times when
needed. ,-
F. H. Babcock savs: "Cho ce cash wheat
in Winnipeg 1 elling ome 60c over Chi
cago May. Not much cnance lor any
important movement across tne oorasr
while thl condition exists."
Stein, Alstein ft Co. have the following
from Minneapolis: "Lincoln Valley, North
Dakota, writes: We are still holding tor
at'e tickets. Crop prospect here are good
o far and a lot of wheat is sown. It 1
getting into the ground considerably star
rer than mot year."
George M. L count wire rrom uncoin,
Neb.; "Condition of wheat In thl terri
tory I uniformly good. Plant look fine,
healthy and large. Stand 1 good."
The Price current urain neporier aay
reports from the winter wheat' belt do
not Indicate any damage by the recent
freezing weather. Oata, however, appear
to have suffered somewhat, but not se
riously. The storm has provided ample
moisture over the greater part or tne
belt and having been followed by .rela
tively warm weather, the crop will, io all
appearances, maintain tne nign conaiuon
reported by the government on April 1.
The last carloaa or corn tor tne Ameri
can Farm sureau federation's gut corn
project ha been gathered, it w-a an
nounced. Four hundred and thirty-one
carload cf shelled corn over 600,000
bushels were contributed by American
farmers to feed stricken people of Europe.

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire,
1 New York, April 20. The only
noteworthy incidents in today s finan
cial markets were recurrence of the
6 per cent rate on call money. The
rise in sterling exchange to the pre
vious high rate of the present year,
and further recovery in silver bullion
brought the London price 2'A pence
above last Friday s reactionary quo
tation, though leaving it still below
last week's high mark.
Movement of prices on the stock
exchange was negligible and it was a
day of lifeless'trading. The railway
shares went fractionally higher as a
rule; elsewhere, the market was
made up of trivial net declines and
advances.
The exchange rates moved in favor
of nearly all important European
markets, with sterling at the highest
of 1921. Kates on f ranee ano, naiy
were less than one-quarter cent per
franc below their highest. Ocrman
vcli3tic wan an excention to this
movement; it sold off fractionally.
