Washington. Dec S.-For the first
time in the history of American bank
ing, statements have been obtained
showing in detail the condition OF
practically every banking Institution
in the United States at a given hour
The comptroller of the currency gets
information periodically from the Ma
tlonal banks: the various state bank
ing commissioners get it from state
banks from time TO time, Such re-
ports come forth at different times
and under different laws and forms.
The national monetary commission
has just completed and made public
today the tabulated results Of an In
yestigation of the condition of the
various classes OF incorporated banks
throughout the country, the reports
being made invariably upon a uniform
blank and all at the close Of business
on April 12S. 1909.
An enormous and exceedingly i'm
portant mass OF information has thus
been brought within the reach of the
financial world, and the report issued
today affords material for unlimited
study.
The institutions reporting to the
commission include $3.50 national
banks. 1873 state banks, 1.703 mu-
tual and stock savings banks. 1897
private banks and 1,079 loan and trust

Banks, other than national, have
more than 55 per cent of the aGgre-
gate resources of all reporting; more
than Go per cent of individual deposits
and more than sc per cent of the ag-
gregate loans. OF the surplus and

class of banks, while they have only

ber OF banks has more than doubled
since 1900, and includes l.1i5 more
than reported to the comptroller of
the currency in 1908. Resources show

tor Root of New York, presiding In the

Copies OF the annual report OF the
secretary of the treasury were in the
hands OF newspapers throughout the
country and Europe TO be held in con
fldence for publication tomorrow. The

desk of Secretary MacVeagh In the
treasury building BY some means,
as yet uncertain. two printed copies
of the report found their way to the
desk OF the president of the senate.
Mr.. Root is a past master in the art
of dispatching routine business In the
senate and he promptly handed the
treasury report over the desk WI
the routine announcement customary
in such cases. Instantly keen-eared
reporters on the senate floor listened
with interest
1t was Two hours before the fact
a blunder had been made was known
Upon the secretary's insistence an ef-
fort was made TO recall the release,
but he soon came TO appreciate that
the mischief was done.

NO THOUGHT OF A
RAILROAD STRIKE

New York, Dec. S-Demands for

Vice President James Murdock of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen de-
clared today
The demands would not be present

vote of the employees.
There is no thought of q strike

An important statement bearing on
the attitude of the railroads In the
matter of increasing wages. was made
by w. G. Brown, president OF the New
York Central railroad,
IF it Is true" he said, that there
has been an increase In the cost of
living since the increases in railroad
wages In the latter part of 1906, and
early in 1907, then the men are JUS
tilted in asking for some further In
crease at this time II no such in,
crease in the cost Of living has tax.
en- place, then the men cannot eX.
pect more pay. The facts remain to
be determined
But 1t cannot be stated too prompt
ly or emphatically, that any increase
whatsoever In wages, no matter how
large or small Is impossible without
commensurate increase in railroad
rates. There Is not railroad In the
country that can afford to pay its en-
ployes more now without getting bet
ter rates"
