BANKS NEVER STRONGER.
Assistant Controller Coffin on IL,
Published Statement

Assistant Controller Coffin ON the
Published Statements.
Mr.. George NJ. Coffin, assistant controller
of the currency, in speaking of the COM
piications of the reports of the national
banks on July 23, 1897, made public yes
'terday, said today:
THE figures showing total resources
and liabilities of all the national banks on
July %, 1897, just compiled, are full of
strength and promise. They show total
resources or liabilities amounting to
81, 1863, ,4OS,0 ,053, the greatest amount ever
reached in the history of the system, the
nearest approach to this condition being a
tctal of $3,310094, ,S97 on September 80,
1892.
THE item largely contributing to this
grand aggregate of liabilities is that of
individual deposits, which on July %, 1897,
stood at $1.770. 4SO.563, the highest point
ever touched by this item, the next highest
having been S1.765. AZ, S93, on September
30, 1892
This showing is all the more striking
because 1t is made after the severe Euui-
dation of the past four years, which has
reduced the number of national banks
from 1880 high water mark, on May 4,
1893, to 800 on July 23 1897. =
''In the item Of loans and discounts the
highest point ever touched was 81, 161, ,401 :
S5S, on May 4. 1898, just preceding the
panic of that year. Against this loans and
discounts on July Z5 1891, were $1,9fl- -oo3,-
10, but actual cash III bank on July 81
1897, was $413o1S.621, against but s322 S62, :
304 on May 4. 1898, when loans were most
greatly extended.
LAS the loans of the national banks ex-
panded about s43, 100000 between May IA
and July %, 1897, 1t is not nearly certain
that this movement has continued during
the past month.
But the meaning of the figures is that the
national banks as whole, were never
stronger and better prepared. in cash re-
sources to furnish all facilities for moving
the great wheat and cotton crops that are
now coming to the markets of the world
The only speck of danger in the future is
revival the bitter experience of the past
four years may be forgotten, and that the
ball of speculation may be again set roll
ing into the future of business Disaster

The newspaper volumes are being taken

The work of ticketing the volumes in the

The forthcoming annual report of the

ages of the exports of the United States for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897, at sew

Bostons exports were 9.41 per cent in 1896
and $50 in 1897. New Orleans has made a
gain from S47 per cent in 1895 to 966 in
1897. Baltimore also increased her exports
from 1.o2 per cent in 1896 to S15 per cent

shipments of wheat. There was also an

In the matter of imports New York shows
falling off from 6l.12 per cent of the
whole imports of the United States in 1886
to 2.S6 in 1897. Boston shows an increase
from 1o.16 to 11S0 per cent.
New Orleans increased from 1.47 to 21T
Baltimore fell off from Lib to 1.49 Phua-
delphia increased from 5.62 to 60. San
francisco fell off from 5.41 to 40. Chi
cargo fell off frcm 80 to Isl per cent
These figures represent the goods that
went through the several customs houses
and do not take into account the locality
from which the shipments were made
Thus a cargo of cattle shipped from Chi
cago by rail to New Iork and there entered
for export to Liverpool would be recorded
as an export from New York.

ports to Georgetown were valued at $780,

Assistant Secretary Spaulding has decid-

Whether the new tariff act should be
construed as imposing the discrimina ting
duty in certain cases on British, French
Portuguese, Japanese vessels and vessels
OF some other nationalities has not
been determined
