BuRL1NGroN, Nov. 81, 1887.
To the Hon. the Council of the Legislative Assem-
bly, of Wisconsin.
lii conformity with resolution adopted yester-
day, forward statement of the condition OF the
Rank OF Wiaonsin, dated Oct. 10, 1887, which
was the day left the village of Green Bay This
statement was made with view to submit 1t TO the
Legislaturs~pt early day i'll the session, should
they desire Il. The great rresuarity OF the mails
between this place and Green Bay, precludes the
possibility of my sending to that place for state
ment of later date, and submit il TO the presen
Legislative Council: and as there is probably nc
material change in the affairs of the Bank, trus
this will be satisfactory.
The proportion of specie to circulation is more
than one to four and the amount of specie Oh hanf
together with the debt due this bank from the tas-
tern banks is $l82,37O IS, which amount viii BIZ
available in specie as soon as specie payments are
resumedby the Eastera Banks. This statement O.
ako aggregate resources of the bank 10 made, q
show more clearly tho capacity OF this institution
to redeem all its pape, in circulation, as soon a
che Eastern Banks shall commence specie payments
am, very respectfully, your ob't serv't,

Cashier Bank Wisconsin.
