 Making a total of $2,082, ,185 25. recs.rI from debtors to the bank, since the day stls assignment
 l. b this amount be added the specie. .5s real estate, the State bonds, and other asset, that were transferred under the deed of Arr, ,, 1912, 1t vii, be found that the wno.eys.s that has passed into the hands of the trustee. aud rcceIvers is, (naepeuleutly ot notes and bills djscouuted.) S2,263,O56.
 The total collected by the trustees aol tls receivers, exceeds the amount that was due on notes and bills when the bank was pu, ito liquidation: but 50 treat was the delay of mos. of the debtors in making payments, that the amounts due by those who paid in ful. were sweiled greatly by iucremeutS of interest. while others made only partial payments. aaI some none at all. In consequence of this. there still due 10 the bank, for principal ul uo;es a-i bill, discounted, the sum of nine hundred al twenty five thousand, seven hundred and ,-h. ty-tour dollars. Of this sum, notes aud Us ot the amount of four hundred aui twery thousands, tight hundred aud seveutv-sV 6o.. lars are judged by the receiver to be worth sss; uinety-niue thousand, six hundred and thirty dollars, to be doub,fu: and four hundred ard five thousand, two hundred and seventv-Seyea dollars to be good. On the good debts one huudred and forty thousand, four hundred and fifteen dollars are due for interest 1.-the interest ou the bad and doubtful debts be iLCiu. ded in the estimate, the whole amount still due to the bank for principal and interest of notes and bls discounted, ls one million, and two hundred and forty thousand dollars Of this amount, t lS supposed, about SIX hundred thou. sand dollars may te collected; namely, five hun. dred and fiGy- i've thousand SIX hundred aai uluty-three dollars for the principal and inter- est of the uutes and bills, chased a~ good, and the residue for principal and interest ot part oi the notes chased as doubtful and worthless.
 In addition 10 these notes and bl'lS the bark h.as seventeen town lots, and upwards of eiga. ty-three thousands acres of land; namely. sx. ty-ole thousand auG fourteen acres of stock lands, taAen Iu payment of debts, or bought 5y the trustees under decreeS of foreclosure and execution, and tweuty-two thousand, one hun dred aud ninety seven acres of other land, o5. tajued iu Ike mauuer It has also the fur lots u the town of Washington, (bou.ht asa site for banking house,) and the oankrg house and lots in the city of Litlle Rock.
 Without investigations in the different cogl- ties, t lS impossible to fix value on the.s .auds, but if we suppose them to be worth, on an average, as much as the stock lands wer valued at, under oath, nineteen years ago. thsi aggregate value is one million, three hundred and sixty five thousand dollars. If We suppose their average value to be only half that official. ly given, their aggregate value is six hundred and elghty-two thousand dollars.
 lu addition to these, there are one hundred and torty-s'x thousand and eighty-six acres of the lands pledged by stockholders for the l2y. ment of their shares of stock. If they are Q. the worth officially affixed to them by the com. miSslouers, their aggregate value is two million three hundred and eighty-four thousand do.aH ! SuppoSlng the lands taken in payment Of debts, those purchased by the trustees under decreeS of foreclosures and execution, and tba remaining stock lands, to be of the average worth dec ared by the commissioners, the aggrs- gate value Ot the real estate secured and p.el.- cd for the payment of the debts If the banks about three million, seven hundred and forty. nine thousand dollars, or one million, egli hundred aud seveuty-four thousand doIaN II the lands be of only one half the value n winch they We're officially rated nineteen yeaa ago.
 There are a few other assets, namely. Chec,i county scrip of the face value of four thousand | 'ouF hundred dollars, swamp land scrip of l' value oi two thousand, four hundred and egl' tv-tWo dollars, about five hundred dollars i specie, ant SIX five per cent. bonds, amounting with the interest on them 10 ten thousand Jle nun,red ai,d twenty five dollars These bons are not part ot those that were issued to procur capital for the bunk; but some ol those issued by the Stlte for money borrowed from the oank Tor State purposes, soon after the bali commenced operations. II We include the noes and bills discountet oi every description, and the interest thereor T We suppose the lands to be of the averas worth they were when valued by the comm< NloherS, and II We add the miscellaneous items l Inc gross vIIue of whatever is secured ani pledged for he redemption of the bonds ari the discharge ofthr other liabilities of the bank Is hve million and six thousand dollars.
 II We suppose that only six hundred thon sand dollars will be collected on account q what Is due for notes and bills discounted all that the lands are of only half the worth aliNei to them by the commissioners, the net yail' ot whatever IS CT may be made available oi the discharge of the debts of the bank, is two million. fonr hundred and ninety-two thou sand dollars.
 The debts due by the bank, at this time,eT ceptiug those due on the bond account, are little importance. The notes in circulation have all been redeemed, with the exception of noes imouting to fifteen thousand, two hundred and eighty dollars, most of which, it is preSumable have been lost or destroyed, and which cauno' consequently be presented for payment. Ths amount due to depostorS and on miScellaneo~ accounts is eighteen thousand, three hundred and slXty-nine dollars. The whole of the oai standing obligation of the bank, exclusive o what is due on the bond account, is only thirty three thousand, six hundred and forty-nD' dollars.
