Bill to Amend National Banking Act Stock Market Quiet but Firm Bank Clearings. As issue of $:. bonds will shortly be put r-j: the Central I'nkvn Telephone Company.

One-half of the prowdi will be used to pay oil a p-rtnn of the floating debt, and the other half mil be pent In improving the property of the company. The bond will ber per cent lrterrst and mature Id twenty yean from date of The Dell Telephone Company.

It haa been paying dlwd-nds at the rale of 5 per cent a year, miklcr an annual rhsrge on this account of t.O".XT The net esrnirsgt of the company in 1JC were f.165 thoa leaving a surplus after the payment of dividends of oaly The jrplus for the rrevioui year wai RW. As lnte-ef at the rate of per cent la to be paid the bonds, the company will hereafter be to meet a fixed charge of tf.0O0. or about much aa the surplus earning! for the last tao rara baa amounted to. The market for the ftO( recently has been weak, aalei on Man-day made at SI. The company has been put considerable expense by reason of the passage of ordinal In several cities in which operates requiring tl placing of wires underground aod a considerable expenditure is also rircesaitated by increasing competition.

I'p to ths prtnt time the company has bad no bonded Indebtedness and Its stork has been lsrgely for lr.vetn.en:. The question that Is now agitating the minis of traders is whether the company will be able to maintain the per cent dividend rate after the bonds have been put aul. r.jrr'srain Hopkins of Illinois has Just In-t-4Jed a bill In the House cf Representatives whirh will be of Interest to backers all over tn touutry. It is designed to cover certain drifts id the national banking act. and has particular reference to insolvent banks.

The. till was framed by Attorney Millard Powers of this ii'v and has received the approval of a number cf the leading bankers of the country. Its title is An act to amend in act authorixlcg the appointment of recetiert of national backs far ullier purposes The bil'. although not aimed at any particular uLd Is based largely on the ex-j-riercr of the Columbia and Chemical National Hanks this city. The national banking act la defective In several respects.

In ami of insolvent basks It practically tt.akes the Comptroller of the Currency a law i nto bimsrlf. It provides that titer all the of the bank have been paid, the r-. nt- through the Comptroller, shall take t'r 10 sreure the appointment of an agent of the stockholder, to whom shall be turned -r the remaining assets far the benefit of the V.holders No detailed report Is dt-eiim1-d f-im either the Comptroller or the re-re ver court assumes supervision over their a and with the turning over of the assets the ohltgatinns of both of these officials cease Neither is the agent of the stockholders who has been given charge of the affairs of the bank required to make any report either to the stock-b i.ders or to any court. The Comptroller and re eiver of a bank, and the agent of the stockholders after them, hare almost absolute control of affair, and It la practically Impossible to se-are an accounting from any et them If they i not choose to make aae. Attorney Posers' bill pros-Idea, among other things, that within three months from the time their appointment receivers ot national banks j't 111- an Inventory and the value of the estate the Institutions to which they have been assorted There must also be filed a list ot stockholders and the nnsnber of shares owned by -4 it a new to determining their responsibility All such inventories and lists must the clerk of the respective courts ihm whose jurisdiction the banking Institute ns may be located.

It further provides that re-eivers shall make reports to the court every three monthi. giving itemized statements, under ith of 'he receipts and disbursements of all belonging to the estates of the bank under their charge, together with Itemixed lists the uncollected assets and a report of the acts o'. the rf eel vers for the preceding three months ('tiler the national banking act as It stands at an agent for the stockholders may be po.ni 1. I.ut only after all obligations have I-n by the receiver. The Powers for te appointment of such agent a r.i time unit the request of a majority of i.i st ahuldrrs and upon the deposit by them a fund ruftV-ien: to wipe out all claims.

It b- rriit-ni bered that about two years ago an was made by tbe stockholders of the hrniics! National to secure the discharge of iLf recetver and the appointment of an agent act for them. They agreed to furnrsh the ne n-fded to pay all creditors at once, but the i)u-st refused by the Comptroller on the gt turd that there was no precedent for it. and i -at thr in as be Interpreted it required the i' fiver to pay off the claims out of the assets rt ii agent could be placed in charge. The it that the expensive receivership -j' f.i ha cunttaned. and is the final wind-up the are likely to get considerably i than they would otherwise have received.

it is held by the people back of this biil that where the ti. kholders of an insolvent rational bnk s'and. ready to pay off ail the obligations the bni they should be permitted to say wl.ether jiiot the receiver rbowld be continued. whether the control of pass fnto the hands of an agent of their own choosing This chr th- present law does not give them. Fur-ihrr.

it is claimed that the Circuit and District i ar-s of the I oiled state should have Jurisdlc-t. a over all receiver and agents for all pur-i' e. at though the receivers were or.gicaliy by euh courts. In the css of a mercantile talik-e the assignee I required to n.ake dfailed reports at stated intervals, and doe not appear to be any valid reason Ca'i bank receivers should not do likf- Th- orly information regarding the of affairs of an li. solvent national bank i (urr.l-.bed to tne stockholders of the ui'iiution it contained In the reports mtde by Comptroller, and tbte are of tht most sper description Nothing regarding the de-n.

March -Although th dealings in storks xlay showed lntrv-enent over yesterday's record, fnanlrxilatvow was no less potent an Influence and tbe trading reflected indecision on the part of th pmfi snwahv Business was indifferently distributed, but although Sugar over-rhadowed any other Individual stock in point of activity the railroads attracted rather more attention than the Industrials as a group. London I dees came lower for Americans, and tbe foreign dealers sold aecuritlea. and chiefly St. Paul and lu.avllt and Kaahvilke. in thla market.

Ts.s fact, and an advance In foreign exchange rate, had a dleturtlng Influence upon price. Th MrMirth of exchange In the fac of tbe cqropar-fain-ry mo-lerate dt-maud caused unfavtwaM igr.iftcarK-e to attach lo the continued foreign selling, which It was feared might cause a rie In rates to Ihe Bc4d-export point- in addition avreaa was laul lv the peofeaplonais upon Minwvhat unsatisfactory cndiiKn of rallrtmd mn in Ihe i -at and NnhweTt. and uim tlf old tpsc of the light movement of r.rn. the ether hand, th money market exhibited a silgh-ly eaaler tendency, and raoo-y lenders were ported to be mmr Uisie1 lo buy tommerclal r-ler. although the Wnrt as to tbe quality of Ihe collateral ww aa kewiiy arawnaaever.

It 1 urged by authorities that considerable damag' had b-ti done to thi-crop ow ing to the rapid change lo temierlure Other unfavorable factor are the prloncrl uncertainty of Eur(tn politus. and the Inflammatory tenor of the dtivusatons in relation to tv Cuban question at aahington.
