that many of these drms do an immense business
in The deposit line, some OF them having from
twentv to thirty.seve,v millions placed under

and trust companies. The banks wuaen MAKO
their weekly reports to the Clearing HOUSE,
deyelop on the average one hundred ana
seyenty-fye millions on deposit Then there
are numerous b,snks Of issue, or NATIONAL banks,
which never have joined the Clessing HOUSE

was slight error in three of the firmE- The
amount of sales set opposite their names, as will

figures; but even with thistdeducti0n the aggre-
gate Of brokers' sales is about ak. thousand
millions.
