Interesting Figures by Comp
troIler Of Currency RhgeIy.
The Comparative Safety Of National
and State Institutions.

Washington, Dec. 1O.-William B.
Ridgely, comptroller of the currency,
tells in his annual report to Congress
that the number of national banks
has increased during the year from
54I7 to $751;. The increase in bonds
on deposit with the treasury depart
ment TO secure circulation was from
$425, $4,000 to SAT-. $50 the increase
being approximately So 100000 At
the time Of the last report made by the
banks, August %, 1905. the paid-in
capital stock aggregated $199.S10,299,
ana the ealnings-surplus and other
undivided profitS-Were $620,200,O 900,
which showed Il substantial increase
in both items during the year. 1t may
surprise some persons 10 read that
New York hasn't all the money in the
country by a long shot, and that even
ali the sO-called reserve cities haven't
much more than half of all the depoS-
its on which a reserve is requred-that
is, Individual deposits and net bank
balances. The total amount of such
deposits is $4.735, 900, 900, OF which ST.
342 100000 is held by central reserve
city banks (New York. Chicago ana
ST. Louis) and $1.o75, 100000 by banks
in other reserve cities. the total in
the reserve city banks being $2,618.-
GOO 900. leaving for the country banks
the large sum of $2,111 100000.
In the past year there was a gross
addition to the authorized capital of
national banks of $59,336, $40, of which
$33, 800 We're from banks organized
since October 81. 1904, and SIS, 1903, 40
from old associations increasing their
capitalization. The net increase, how
ever, was but $30.S39,7 $40, as there was
a loss of 2S.436,50 as Il result of VOL
untary hquidations. failures, and re-
auctions of capital OF continuing
banks.
The average capital Of the 3617 ma
tional banks in existence on March
IA, 1900, was $4,000. At the close of
business on october 81, 1905, the aver
age capital OF the 1858 banks then in
operation had been reduced to $685.
900. the reduction beings due to the
organization of banks with capital of
less than $4,000, under authority of
the act of March IA. 1900 the latter
being organized generally with capital
|! of $4,000. although the exceptions
raised the average of that class of
