NEW YORK NOW HAS LARGEST
BANK IN WORLD; MERGER
WAS A SURPRISE
NEW YORK, Sept.. 25, (/P)—The
trend towards centralized banking
systems in the United States brot
forth its largest combination when
the National City Bank announced
a merger with the Corn Exchange
Bank giving New York the greatest
bank in the world with resources
of about $2,650,000,000. v
The merger is considered a mas
ter stroke of organizing genius on
the part of Charles E. Mitchell,
chairman of the board of the Nat
ional City Bank, who announced
the merger.
The consolidation places the Na
tional City Bank ahead of England
banks as far as total resources are
concerned. The largest bank in the
world heretofore has been the Mid
land Bank of London which has re
sources of about $2,500,000,000. The
Midland Bank still holds lead in
deposits with $1,820,270,206 com
pared with the sum of $1,760,000,000
for the American banks.
The merger of these two banks
came as a surprise to Wall Street
altho some important development
was expected. Shares of National
City have been rising steadily and
sold at $500 each. Close on the
heels of the merger came the news
that the Bank of Manhatten Co.,
will split its stock on a five for one
basis.
