tween March and May an advance Of money was

Government Deposits In National Banks.
The last statement OF the relations OF the national
banks OF New York and Brooklyn with the United
states Treasury, which has just been made out by
Treasurer Spinner shows that the government Is
steadily drawing down the balances OF the govern
ment deposits with the banks. The amount OF gov
ernment bonds belonging to the banks now deposited
with the Treasurer as security up to date Is
$2,129,O00, while the amount of government de-
posits with the banks is only $37,7S9 es.
This Is less than two per cent OF the
securities which the banks have on de-
posit with the Treasurer. General Spinner feels
rather proud OF this exhibit, and Is OF opinion
thatit will 60 far towards answering the statements
often made by Congressman and Others to the effect
that the Treasurer keeps such large balance OF gov
eminent money with the banks that they make a
large profit by loaning it outside.
