New Yorx, Jan. 6.—The New York Times, in ac article headed “Are Our State Banks Doomed,” says :-—
‘““Officers‘of our state banks, xs distins guiched fram the natonal banks in the state, are viewing with some alarm the prospect of continued competition from trast companies inthe banking field, if nothing is done to be to equalize the con- ditions under which the two classes of in- stitutions operate.”
After quoiting figures from the report ot the superintendent of Si:aie Banking Department as to the multiplication of trast compacies and the diminishment of the capital of state banks, the article ceatinues :—
‘It ig said that if this goee on the emaller aud weaker banks are likely to go to the wall or be merged and the survivors will have to be converted into national bavke or be reorganized as trust com- panies, and there will be little encourage ment for goiag into the national syetem so Jong as the discrimiowtion in taxation ie kept up.

Somewhat Mixed.
Loxpor, Jan. 6.—Henre Labouchere bas writteu a letter to a constituent, in which he says: “I beliewe the war to be jast, but impolisic. We are obliged to fight so longasthe Tranevaslers are im British territory, but when they are driven out of it, I trust we shall not eon- tinue the war for the benefit of the crew of company mongers and speculators. Our men have fought bravely, but had it not been forthe folly of our rulers rashing into war without counting the require- ments needed to win, Transvaalers would by this time have been forced to evacuate our territory.”
