BANKING SYSTEM IN FEDERAL
MASSACHUSETTS,

There are one hundred and taOenty-nine
banks in Massachusetts,; their nominal
capital is THIRTY EIGHT MILLIONS ONE
HUNDRED, AND EIGHTY THOUSAND pol
LARS. According to the October re4lrnsa
Of these banks, (Which present them in
much better condition than when they sus-
pended) it seems that on this nominal cap
ital, the banks have lent out, for the most
part to their stockholders and directors,
'.fify eight million four hundred and
fourteen thousand one hundred and eigh-
ty tpo dollars" In this way it will be
seen that the whole ,capital-the greater
part of which was only ,nominally pa'd in
lis absorbed; and after being thus ab-
sorbed by the privileged parties, is made
10 produce out of the shadow Of a shade
twenty millions more. in the shape Of
credit to the same individuals
The Boston Advocate gives us another
test Of the solidty Of this Federal credit
system in the following statement from
the official returns: smssy
