The total includes both tables-the
cities and the States. For the correspond.
ing months in 1870, the ratio Of dividend
to capital was 5 per cent; in 1871 it was
the same; in 1872 it was 81 per cent;
in 1873 It was the same, and also in 1874;
in 1875 the ratio fell to 4.9per cent, and in
1875 to As, being the same in 1877 so that
the fall Of the last year to S.S1 shows that
the banking system was less profitable in
1873 than for the eight preceding years
1t will DO seen above that Detroit is the
best city, and Oregon the best State for
dividends on bank stock.
