Last Call.
COMMENTS OF THE COMPTROLLER
Footings of @, 0,OO0. .754,O ,Oz5, the Larg-
est on Recording Increase
of Specie Holdings.

Washington, Aug 9-William Bar
ret ftidgley, comptroller of the cur
rency, yesterday made the following
statement in regard TO the condition
of the national banks of the United
States at the close of business on
Wednesday, July 10: '.The reports of
condition show the banks to be in eX-
cellent shape, as have all recent state
mentS of the kind The increases in
most of the items of the statement
are consistent with the universal re
ports of the prosperous condition of
business and the increase in its volume
all over the country. The footing of
the statement, $6,OOG. .T54,9T5. is. as
might be expected, the largest on rec
ord. The least favorable feature of
the statement is. perhaps, the contin-
ued increase in loIuS-$49. .1O2. .145
since the statement of April 80 1902.
and $264. 4.9J3.255 over the statement
of July 10, 1901.
Sees Evidence OF Initiation.
In this expansion of the volume of
loans there iS. of course, considerable
solid growth and increase of values.
upon which loans can properly be
based; but there must also be some
imitation, ana there is always danger
in going too far in this direction The
average reserve held by the banks has
increased from 2T.21 per cent. on
April 30, 1902. to - Is per cent July
IL. But this is somewhat lower than
the average reserve of July II, 1901.
when 1t was -. O1 per cent.
Specie Holdings Increase
During the year there has been an
increase of S33.67S.425 in specie held
by the banks. OF which increase So
Oo3.4OI has occurred since April 80.
1902. During the year there has been
an increase of more than $4,000. .OOO
i'm the capital stock and Sc. .00Q. 600 in
surplus. More than the average por-
tiOn of this has occurred since the last
statement, but this is largely due to
the readjuStment of this item gener-
ally made on July 1. There has been
Il slight decrease in the deposits since
April 80, but Il handsome increase for
the year.
Reserve Percentages All Higher.
The percentage of reserve shown
by the central reserve cities is all
higher this year than one year ago
New York increasing from 20. .32 per
cent. to 26. 63 per cent. Chicago from

The weather was cloudy during the
professions and other ceremonies
and at the conclusion rain began
falling. The route of the procession
from Buckingham palace TO West

and police and crowded with enthus-

The royal cavaIcade started from

greeted with tumultuOus ovation.
The king looked pale and drawn.
While punctiliously bowling from side
to side, he did so with a gravity very
unusual to him. The queen was ra-
diant and never looked better.
The professions were carried out
according to program and were
marked with no special incident save
an accident to Lord Edward Pelham

After Wealth, But of That of Yellow Gold
Proves Failure.
Victoria. =. c., Aug. 9.-The elabo-
rately equipped expedition which set
sail from here early in January on
the brigantine Blakely to search for
the mythical treasure of COcoS island
has returned, like other expeditions
which have visited the island, with
out having seen Il sign of treasure of
any kind. This latest expedition was
an utter failure. The instruments
which were to locate buried wealth
failed in all instances except in giving
the members of the expedition work
in digging III different parts of the
island.

tine who have the maps said to have
been drawn by a Nova Scotian miner

of II. NJ. S. Imperius and the schooner
Aurora had searched, without better
results.

after a supply of corn had been loaded

King Edward passed IL busy day at
Buckingham Palace, and did not ap-
pear tO the public at all. Acting upon
medical advice Lord Salisbury OBJ
tained the kings permission 10 absent
himself from the coronation. One of
the most curious incidents of the cor

uniform of the Salvation Army in
Westminster Abbey. King Edward di-
rected that a representative of the
Salvation Army should be invited to
the coronation, and BramweII Booth
was appointed to attend the ceremony.
\ difficulty arose about the uniform
he should wear, and the earl marshal.

not authorized to recognize the uni

questing permission TO wear the uni
form of the Army; this his majesty
readily gave.
