IN LOCAL FINANCIAL CIRCLES
BY I. A. FLEMING.

The third call of the year by the
Comptroller of the Currency for a
statement from District and national
banks, would have shown the serious
loss in deposits out for the fact that
the Government has put millions back
!, .nto the banks to be repaid at stated
periods. Before the next statement,
1t is probable that the tax money
will have been nearly made up in
the natural increase of deposits to the
credit of the city's savers and busi-
ness men.
Most OF the trust companies show
losses more or less heavy. Some OF
the national banks have been good to
| their trust company connections and
thus lessened the losses of the latter.
Washington is city of tax payers.

The apparent figures show a net

the District needs its funds.
Some of the national banks would

before stated fact that they increased

, tions.
some of the others have fattened

All in all, the aggregate showing is
earlier than expected but the one thing

is city of tax players.
