National Bauk,nx system.

The annual report of William L. Tren-
holm, comptroller OF the currency, contains
suggestions for the amendment Of tho
national bank laws in about dozen
instances, including the contingent liability
of shareholders, requirements as to reserve,
the limit on loans to individuals, more
thorough examination Of banks and their
protection against unequal state taxation.
The specific character Of these suggestions
is withheld for the present. Thirty-five
hundred and eighty national banks have
organized In all, Of which 2,85S arc now in
operation. OF these 1,7O4 have been
organized during the past year. Twenty
four banks went into voluntary liquidation
during the year, one ceased to exist by OK
piration Of charter and eight failed. Since
the beginning Of the system in 1863 only liz
national banks have failed. OF these thirty
six have paid their creditors in full, and
twenty have paid interest besides, fifteen in
full and five in part. Over 80 per cent. OF
all national bank stocks is held by residents
OF the state in which the bank is located,
more than 81 per cent. is held by natural
persons, and 96 per cent Of the number Of
shareholders are natural persons The
total number Of shareholders is 223, 600; and
the total number of shares over 4,O00, ,OOO
The effect of the reduction Of the public
debt and the high premium on bonds upon
the volume of national bank circulation il
very fully illustrated in the report. The
contraction in national bank circulation
during the year exceeds $56, ,000, 600. Besides
the usual tables showing the condition of
national banks at various dates, the report
this year contains an abstract which
specifies each one Of their resources and
liabilities The banks in the several states,
reserve cities and territories, have their
condition stated separately. A large dia-
gram exhibiting the main features Of the
national blanking system and their varia-
tions during the past twenty-ono years
accompanies the report. From this, it APP
pears that the aggregate deposits in the
banks have increased from &522 100000 in
January, 1886, to $l,l73, ,OOO, 900 in October,
1856, while loans and discounts have risen
from $5,OOO,OOO to 81 AZ, ,OOO, ,OOO The specie
held by the national banks in 1865 was SO,
1900; in October, 1876 1t was only 81, ,OOO,
600, while in July. 1855, it was 3l77 ,OOO, 900,
and is now $l56, 100000. Mr.. Trenholm
declines to say whether his report contains
any specific recommendations in regard to
q modification Of the law making United
States bonds the basis Of the national
currency, but 1t is understood at the depart
ment that he has presented q strong array
Of facts and figures showing how valuable
the system has become to the entire country,
and how important it is that 1t should be
made adaptable to the needs Of communities
in the West and South, where vast natural
resources await development by the aid OF
outside capital.
