A STATEMENT compiled from the recent report OF
the controller OF the currency appeared in TIE
STAR OF q few days since, from which it would
seem that the private bankers OF the city OF WASH
ington had invested Ia government bonds only the
sum OF s8aa63l This Is an erroneous understand
ing of the meaning OF the controller. Capital Of
private bankers invested In United States bonds Is
exempt from internal revenue tax, and It 10 their
custom TO report the amount OF their capital thus

The true explanation OF the figures Of
the controller is, that OF the tl00,6l7

ington S3e6 ga Is invested in United States secur-

total amount Of such securities held By them. It
ID known indeed that one Of the private banking
frme OF this city holds over $700,00 invested IN
United States bonds (registered and couponl and
