The condition of the banking business of
the District is shown in the following ia
bic with clearnos IS and simplicity that
can be secured in no other way. The fig
ures are an abstract of the report to the
Comptroller of the Currency, just pub
Iished. giving the condition OF the banks
at the close of business on February 5.
The reports of the national banks and Of
the trust companies are included in the
abstract so that the figures cover virtually
the entire banking operations of the Dis

of business of each institution is thus
shown clearly and in the same way the to-

apparent at glance almost. what rela-

capital items and to the cash items.
The showing made is pronounced an ad-

duct of the different institutions and in
the business as a whole, and at the same
time il makes a fine showing OF prosperity.
It will be noted that the investments OF
all kinds amount to about $50, 600, 000 leaV-
ing the banks with reserve fund OF cash
on hand and in other banks of over SlS.eoe,-
900. This amount is IS, SOC, 600 or nearly
so per cent in excess of the total capital,
including surplus and undivided profits.
THE total cash is seen also to be 80 per
cent OF the total deposits and circulation.
an eminently safe and conservative per
cen:age The percentage of cash to de-
posits in the various banks varies consid-
erably. In one case being as high as 30
per cent and n one as low as about Is
per cent, but for the most part the per-
centage is near the IS per cent average.
The circulation of the banks is covered by
a redemption fund in the Treasury, so
that they have actually at least 90 per

was advanced in a wonderful way on
Monday. the high price reached being Ia.
Later the quotation sasged back to around
100 and held well. about I points above
the recent low. The squirt on Monday was
uncalled for and unreasonable, very much
in the same way that the big decline Of
the stock in recent months has been.
People who should know most regarding
the prospects OF the company state that
the present price is too low, but that
panicky, scramblIng advance like that of
Monday is to be deplored.

The advent of the yellow" in news
paper stories regarding local business
matters is attracting much attention in F
Street. Two glaring articles published
during the past month have been the
subject OF comment almost daily where
business men gather together. One of
these devoted three or four columns to the
statement that the Washington Traction
and Electric Company has been losing
money so rapidly that it is on the verge
of bankruptcy and must soon undergo re-
organization. 1t was printed three days
before the publication of the annual re-
ports of this company and its statistics
were based on the reports of the year pre-
vious. before the company had begun to
reap any of the benefits OF its big i'm
provemeDts. AS a matter OF fact. the re-
ports fer the year 1860 make a much
better showing. officers of the company
state that there is to be no reorganization
The other article alluded to was nearly
a column long and it was to the effect
that the Nergenthaler Linotype Company
was arranging to purchase the Monoiine
Company. 1t was the publication of this
story that caused the big boom in Merger
thaler last Monday. And it WIS the denial
of the story that caused the subsequent
decline in the price of the stock

SOUTH BIRMINGHAM

President Michael A. O'Rourke of
Massachusetts Central Basketball
League received a letter yesterday
from Charles A. Church Of South
birmingham. Mr.. Church wants to
arrange a game with one Of the Wor-
ing the strength of a quintet he has
mustered with that of a league team.
Mr. Church believes that a franchise
in the Massachusetts Central League
would be productive Of interest enough
in the sport to support strong team
In South birmingham. A Massachu-
setts League franchise is already held
in that town, but as the other teams
in the league are located without re-
gard TO distance or facilities for reach
ing them, Mr.. Church sees the end OF
the circuit controlled by F. H. Sawyer
the former Hudson promoter, so far as
South birmingham is concerned
