EXTRACTS FROM THE ANNUAL REPORT OF TIE
CONTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.
The annual report of John Jay Knox, the Con-
troer of the Currency, is now given to the public.
Ii devotes much attention to the National Banking
system. 1t shows that tho State banks exceed the
National banks in number and deposits; that there
is no monopoly whatever in the present National
system: and that the National banks by no means
make such enormous profits many people
suppose. Mr.. Knox also draws a comparison
between the safety of the banks of the United
States and that of those of Great Britain, which re-
yeas the fact that the American banks are twice as
safe as the latter great many of the popular mis-
takes about the banks are corrected Below is pre-
sented a summary Of the report.
