NEW YORK, July G. Handicap
ped by the laws limiting tho activities
of national bunks, especially in pro
hibiting to them certain classes of
investments, the directors of tho Na
tional City bank of New York are
going into business for themselves
uud have formed a combination which
will moro closely approach a money
trust than any previously conceived
This, to its amazement, Wall Street
toduy discovered is the solution of
the mystery surrounding tbo recent
organization of the $10,000,000 Na
tional City company here. Financiers
say their action is practically the
money trust arrived at last.
The new company will be inanaced
and perpetually controlled by tbreo
trustees.
The trustees will bo James Still-
man, Prank A. Vanderlip, vice ores
ident, and Stephen Palmer, directors
of tne bank.
As tho laws prohibit banks oper
ating iu miscellaneous stocks or their
holding stock in another national
bank, the chief field of tho new con
cern will bo the financing of new en
terprises and tho aiding of these al
ready organized. Fearing no gov
ernment interference, it will furnish
tho needed funds for railroad and
industrial enterprises, thus practi
cally dominating tho whole business
field.
Under the plans of its projectors it
bo possible for tho company to pre
vent tho building of railroads or tho
formation of companies which are
not sure revenue producors and can,
oy ino weight of its capital and con
nections, prevent other capitalists
esteudiug aid which it refuses. It is
believed tho company will be ablo to
prevent the building of any railroad
or tho establishment of competing
firms, which "might reduce tho divi
dends of existing corporations."
