Banks in the Country at Large.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 80-Comptroller of
the Currency Eckels said today that he
feels no apprehension over the bank fail
ures which have occurred oflate. Two more
failures, the Commercial National bank, Of
Roanoke, Va, and the Columbia National,
Of Minneapolis, were added to the list
yesterday. They are comparatively small
institutions, however, and under ordinary
circumstances their failure, it is said,
would attract only passing attention. Mr.
Eczels when asked today by representa-
tive Of the Associated Press rs to tho gen.
ernl banking situation, said:
'Of course bank failures are more or
less disquieting, but those which have oc-
CURED recently have little or no general
significance attached to them. They were
due largely TO local causes, wholly uncon-
nectod with the general condition Of the
banks through the country at large. The
case of the Atlas bank, of Chicago, was
not failure at nll, but was mere volun-
tary liquidation, every deposition being
paid in full. The two failures yesterday
are of minor importance, in ench case the
bank capital being only $D,0D AS
against these few failures, based on local
causes, the general condition of banks is
excellent. The reports received under the
last call-that of Dec. l7-are uniformly
favorable, and show an average reserve
