THE NATIONAL BANKS.
They Number 1910 and Have an Ag-
grcgate Capital of $500, ,305.

The annual report of the Comptroller of
the Currency covers the year ended October
81, 1859, at which time there were in existence
39l9 national banks, the largest number in
operation since the Inauguration of the sys-
TEN. These associations possess an aggre-
gate capital of $500 Ia, 1865.
The last reports of condition exhibit their
resources and liabilities Oh September 80,
1859. The number reporting at that time
was $780, Within the year 2ll banks were
organized, having an aggregate capital of
sci, 100000 Thirty-six of the new banks
were organized in Texas the largest number
in any one State. Pennsylvania has now the
largest number of associations i'll operation.
Massachusetts, leads in point of capital stock,
and New York in respect to deposits and
volume of business.
Within the past year forty-one banks
went into voluntary liquidation and only
two failed, leaving the net additions to the
system 16s as against 80 last year, and 123
the annual average increase since the lnau-
guration of the system. Notwithstanding
this increase, the system has not kept pace
with the necessities of the people for in
creased banking facilities. This is evidenced
by the marked increased in percentage OF
State banks organized the last five years as
compared with the percentage Of the five
years Immediately preceding. .---
