ABOUT THE BANKs The Com ptroller sent
to the Legislature the other day report of the
condition Of the Banks in this State, giving
list of the Securities each has on deposit in his
Office together with their market value on the
Goth inst; also the amount of circulation of
each bank, so that any person with the list be-
fore him can calculate for himself the value of
our currency.
This report, so far as it gees is good thing,
but will be likely TO lead to confusion. as it
shows that some of the discredited banks are
better than those whose bills are current, which
is not the fact really, but would be- If 1T ,oere
not for the personal security Of the oorners Of the
latter class Of banks. We present below. as
matter of local interest, the particulars as to
the banks in this county, each of which appears
on its face to be = short y but all of which are
perfectly good us will be seen by adding to the
value of their stocks the amount of their bonds
on file with the Comptroller, which the law re-
quires shall be g good and sufficient and equal
to one fourth of their capital" 1t will also be
remembered that in addition to all this, the
owners of bank are personally responsible
for its debts, to the amount of their interest in
