considering all the business and munich

A Look at the Duties of the Comp troIIeI
of the Currency.
WASHINGTON CITY, June l5-The fail
ure of the keystone bank has directed
especial attention to the great response
bility that is vested in the COMPTROLLER of
the currency. From his office in the treas
ury department the comptroller has TO KEEP
eyes on 3,6S5 banks with capital stock
ranging from s50uoO to 100000 ard ag-
gregating more than billion dollars.
Each of these banks must report its con
dition to the department five times year
and the comptroller may call upon them at
any moment without warning for state
ment OF their condition on a certain day
All these reports have 10 be carefully ex-
amined and compared with former reports
and other statements published by thu

picious is discovered, the directors of the
bank are notified and requested to c. rect

IN separate letter that thepe may Ne nc

Besides this, there Is the control of the
corps of examiners, the supervision OF the
solvent banks in many other particulars,
and the settlement of the accounts
OF the Insolvent, the redemption
of old notes, and the chartering OF new
and closing of old banks retiring from
business, to all of which thu Comptroller
must give his attention.
Different Divisions and Their Duties
To assist him in this he has force of
about thirty examiners and ninety two
ctheremployes. Through this office the | ank
gets its character TO exist. The division
Of issue sees TO its currency; the redemp-
ton division sees that the old notes are
properly chewed up into material for pulp
ornaments which tourists fancy; the
division of reports keeps its weather eye
on the banks during their varied existence,
and finally, ifthey are not well mana ged,
1t becomes the duty of the insolvent
division to close them up and try to
satisfy the creditors The insolvent di-
vision has had its handsfull lately between
examinations, hquJdations and eXplana-
