Fine Condition

Statements of the condition of the
three national banks of Greeley and
others wer called for last week Tues
day by the comptroller of the cur

the last two months. Deposits have
fallen off but little since the last
statement called for, August %. AT
that time the total deposits were

exchange was ss16,622.71, and now it
is 41,5466O. The total cash In

on the canvas.
