New York December 29 tentative denials suggest a merger between Chase National and Metals National may occur but a broader consolidation of multiple banks with over a billion dollars in resources is unlikely.

A Chase Mechanics and Metals union, viewed as the likely outcome, would unite two commercial banks with more than $800,000,000 in resources.
