Annual Report of the Comptroller of the
Currency.
WASHINGTON, November 26th-The an
nual report of the Comptroller of the Cur
renew made public to-day shows the total
be 2,727-the largest number ever before
in operation. The Comptroller calls par
ticular attention to the fact that banks are
no longer organized especially for the pur-
pose Of issuing circulation. He says: at
is believed that the national banking svs-
ten will be continued, even if the associa-
tons organized under it cannot issue circu-
iation at profit, inasmuch as experience
has shown thatit is for the best interests OF
the public as well as the banks, that this
business should be carried on under a
general law, having effect throughout all
the different States The Comptroller
believes the contraction of the national
bank circulation will continue, unless
some legislation is had which will in
crease the profit the banks derive
from the issue of circulating
notes. He proposes that the tax on
circulation be removed, and the amount of
circulation which the national banks are
permitted to issue be increased to the par
value OF the bonds deposited by them
The report refers to the fact that although
there has been a contraction in national
bank notes, the circulating medium of the
country has been increased by the silver
dollars and silver certificates. The Comp
troller says the continued coinage of the
standard silver dollar, under the present
provisions of the law. is in excess of the |
requirements of the country, and is liable |
to bring business to a silver basis. and |
cause some degree of financial disturbance

Baldwin to Build a Theater in New York
New York, November 26th-The Times
says: Lucky" Baldwin, the California
millionaire has been for the past few
months seriously contemplating the advi-
stability of coming to New York and build
ing theater, and he has already negotia-
ted, albeit unsuccessful.y, with the owners
OF number of pieces of property in the
metropolis for the purpose of putting up
his proposed building. He offered 100000
for certain property, but the owner want
ed 100000. Baldwin is not pushed aside
from his original purpose by the failure
which has attended his first attack to secure
a toothold. On the contrary, he has looked
at number of other pieces of property,
and his negotiations are in such q state that
there is likely to be a definite settlement |
IN one instance within the next few days
Colonel SIapleson's Way of Doing Bust
ness.
New YORK, November 26th.-Colonel
Mapleson's Thanksgiving is not to his
liking. He has virtually been ordered to
close his opera season and leave the Acade- |
my at the close of the present week Be-
fore coming here this year Mapeson was |
told that the only condition on which he |
could have the Academy was the payment |
OF $500 night rent, and the defraving of |
the expenses of heating and service for |
each night of his tenancy. The Colonel |
came, but instead of Offering to sign the
usual lease on his arrival, he simply waited |
Tor something to turn up, and said not one
word about lease. 1t is probably he will |
not get the Academy again for some time
to come.

ferent parts of the city and from the towns
and villages in the track of the great storm !
OF Tuesday reports continued to come YES
terday of the destruction wrought. AL
though the individual losses are large in
only few instances. yet the injury done
by WIND and Hoods is so widespread that
the aggregate losses are very great. Indeed.

New Jersey coast is greater than al firsr
reported Several cottages suffered more
or less, and the grounds of many Others
were sa lly torn up. Water in the cellars
still bothered people on the streets near the
