COUNTRY BANKS IN MARyLAND.-A com.
parison of the statement made to the comp
trolcr of the currency by the forty six ma.
tional banks of Maryland outside Of. Bait
more with that for the same banks on May
I, the date of the last call, shows that the
country banks of Maryland have wcathcrcd
the financial crisis thus far about as well rs
have those of Baltimore city, and far better
than the banks Of almost any other part OF
the county. In fact, the banks of Baltimore
and Maryland have reputation in the office
of the comptroller Of the Currency tar above
similar institutions III other States and cities,
for there Is no State in the Union in which
banking is carried on On more safe lines than
in Mary land. There are torty-siX national
banks III the state outside Of Baltimore, and
the statement shows that in view of The
present state Of financial affairs they have
increased their reserves from 2lG1 per cent
to 23.OS per cent, the legal requirement being
Is per cent. Loans and discounts have been
increased from $40 500 73 Is to Sl0,53o6 56-
SO Stocks and securities held decreased
from 81, 505,,i1G AZ to $l,4S2,i}2 81. Due
from approved reserve agents increased from
1914 SCI 81 to 81 ,0s9, 603SS. Due from other
national banks increased from $346,452.5S 10
BAL ,J93 a.. Due from state banks and
bankers decreased from $s5 ,5G3.l2 to So
342o4. The amount of capital stock paid in

772 80 to $l,377,0 Individual deposits
decreased from 81, 623, 50S 80 to 80, 553 800 g.
This slight decrease in deposits, at this time
when banks throughout the country have
suffered from the lack of confidence IN their
depostors, shows that the banks OF Marylund
enjoy tho confidence of the communities IN
which they are situated to degree equaed
by few others in the country, and il is doubt
ful iftherc are forty.siX other banks in The en-
tire country that can make such favorable
showing in this regard rs do the banks of
Maryland.

tural Society, to be held at their grounds, on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,

Bills in creation. After all, racing is the
most popular and exciting sport Of the per-
iod, aud the fever is caught up and INDUCED
in by everybody who likes horse and cares

chance at the money. AS usual Thursday
