Although the charters of 721 national
banks, with an aggregate capital of
more than $3.50. 100000 expire during
1885. the year is likely to end, as did
1884, with more national banks in exist
ence than there ever was before. The
increase of national bank capital ives
about SIS, 900, 900 during 1884, and the
renewal of charters and the issue of
new ones will probably increase not only
the number of banks, but also the ag
gregate of their capital, during 1885.
