Charles G. Dawes, the controller of the
currency, made the following statement re-
gardng the general condition of Of national
banks at the close of the fiscal year: 1.-THE
last year has been one of growth and expan-
sion in the business Of the national banks
of the country. as reports of their present
condition compared with former reports
clearly indicate. The individual deposits
of the banks, which, on July 49, 1897, were
81. ITO, 4SO. 536. reached, on May 5, 1893. the
sum of 81, 999 ,3OS ,43S, and the five statements
called for during the last year show that
the rate of gain was quite uniform. The
declaration of. war did not stop this gain,
the increase between February IS and May
5 Of this year being SIG. 647 sos; and the indi-
vidual deposits of the national banks OF
the United States now stand at the highest
point in the history Of the system. The ex-
pansion in loans since May IA, 1897, has been
Sl73, 72s 1865. The concurrent expansion In
the loans and individual deposits OF our
banking system Is the best possible evil
dence of growing confidence In the busi-
ness and banking world Increasing depos-
its with contracting loans, or decreasing de-
posts with increasing loans, are condi-
lions which may exist without being con-
sidered as necessarily indicating prosper
o,,s conditions; but the conjunction of
steady increase In loans with steady In
crease in deposits Is almost without excep-
ton the evidence of marked increase In the
activity of profitable business exchanges
of the country and Its general prosperity"

Conditions as Shown by Transactions
ON Wall Street

NEW YORK, July 15.-The bears who
covered their short contracts In haste yes

down, down, with no one to say them nay
The bull element refrained entirely from
orering any support, and prices of the
out any important interruption. There was
an entire absence of any outside interest
and dealings were very small and confined
to narrow list. The sharp break In Met
ropolitan Street Railway in the afternoon
accumulated the general weakness, and the
bears were apparently content to leave
their contracts open over night, for there
closing was near the lowest with net loss
es in many cases point or more. A break
in Metropolitan was accomplished by ru-
SIS 900 instead Of 500 900, as hereto
fore reported. The statement Of earnings
ror the June quarter was also considered
disappointing; The stock went down easily
and closed only one point above the lowest
NO very large amount of stock was dis
lodged by this sharp decline, business being
confined almost entirely to 100 share lots
coalers also persisted. the offerings Of

continued liquidation Of long stocks. Peo-
There is growing feeling in the stock
market that the successful Termination Of
the wa, war and peace with Spain have been
struction Of Admiral Cervera's fleet and
the fall Of Santiago point to this concius-
ion. Wall street entirely ignored the dis
position Of London to buy American stocks
on Torals surrender, and the advanced
tendency of Spanish fours on talk of peace.
The definite assurance that none but indi-
vidual bids for probably not more than 5000
would secure any portion of the government
loan had no appreciable effect in the money
market today. The New York banks have
lost nearly 100000 to the sub-treasury
during the week on account of the loan,
but there Is no pressure for money from in
terror points.
There was a further falling of in the

Prices and Prospects of the Trade In
Cereals

CHICAGO, July 15.-Wheat started with
prices shade easier on lower Liverpool ca
bles and exceptionally fine weather for
threshing and marketing grain. The weak
corn market quickly developed strength
on reports that corn was not affected by
drought In many sections, and this soon
had Its reflection In wheat. 1t was found
that while the arrivals of new wheat were

that July still holds at big premium,

The big traders held off, recently having

firmness September closed 3sQi4c higher.
Continued dry weather. with able

Tax on Stock Certificates

The new revenue law says: sale, or
agreement to sell stock in any association,
company or corporation, on each 800 face
value or fraction thereof, cents" Brok-
ers and others have been trying to find out
Just what this language means First there
was some doubt as to what was meant by
face value. That notion no longer obtains
to any extent. Face value clearly means
the value inserted in the text Of the GER
tificate by the articles of incorporation, or
the par value. Most interpretations divide
their capital stock into shares Of the par
value Of 500 each. On each of these shares
SO divided 1t Is evident that the tax is two
cents, regardless Of what the stock sells
for, whether its market price be one cent
or $1,000 or more. We think that feature is
well understood, however unjust 1t may be-
Interest now centers on the meaning of
the phrase: ION each 500 of face value or
fraction thereof" Some corporations die
vide their shares into certificates of the
par value of $3.50 each. Does the tax in
that case mean five cents or six cents j?
Clearly, according gto our Interpretation.
says the San Francisco Bulletin, it means
shares Of the par value Of $50 each. Is the
tax on these shares one cent or two cent??
We should say two cents. It is reported
that Washington authorities have SO de-
cided. That being the case. there will be
no incorporation Of mining companies
with the object of reducing the par value
of shares from 500 to s. or 81, though II
IL possible that corporations OF an active
sort. having shares out of par value less
than 500 may reincorporate with shares
of par value of $780, It would have been
more just to have made the tax two cents
on sales of 500 or . fraction thereof

Dividend Notes

The Baltimore MANUFACTURERS Record
presents partial list of the dividend and
interest disbursements for the first half of
1898, made by southern railways and other
corporations. Thus far 1t Is shown that the
Spanish-American war has had no effect
whatever upon dividends or payments of
interest obligations. The banks in the prin-
cipal southern financial centers are declar-
ing the usual semi-annual dividends, and
in many cases have earned enough to add
large amounts to surplus funds. The re-
markable prosperity Of the banks in the
smaller southern towns may be taken as an
indication Of the prosperity in agricultural
sections of the southern states. Annual
dividend disbursements averaging from
s to 10 and IL per cent are common, while
some of the institutions have earned enough
to declare semi-annual dividends Of 10 per
cent.
