LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The statement concerning the condition
of national banks and loan and trust COM
panies in the District of Columbia pub
Hshed in The Star yesterday was the cause
OF considerable comment on the part Of
local f1nanciers today Bankers did not re-
gard the enormous growth of the amount
of the loans made by the trust companies
as indicating to any marked degree that
tnroads are being made on the loan bust
ness of the banks. That banks do not
show a growth proportionate to that of the
trust companies in the matter of loans is
accounted for by the fact that the former
institutions have been very conserva tive,
and also by the action Of the controller of
the currency in disseminating the practice
OF the banks in making loans with real
estate mortgages as collateral This ac-
ton has thrown to the trust companies
the class Of business requiring mortgages
collateral
The growth of the loan business has been
large because of the different classes Of
loans that are made by those Institutions
While the banks conf1ne their business to
commercial paper the trust companies
make loans for long or short time on
many kinds of collateral. Much of their
business was formerly done by individual
brokers.
The amount of the government deposit
to be made in the American National Bank
of this city is larger than was generally
expected when 1t was at first announced
that that institution had been selected as
a government depository by the Secretary
or the Treasury. The government deposit
will be 100000.
