OVERDRAFTS AT LOWEST EBB
Comptroller of Currency Pleased With
Condition of National Banks


Washington, Oct. 29.-The amount
of oVerdrafts in national banks was
lower on September 4, the date Of
the last call, than ever before. Comp
troller of the Currency Murray, who
recently urged national banks to
eliminate overdrafts, made that an
nouncement.
The September call showed an ag-
gregate of $4,000 in overdrafts among
the 7,400 national banks. This was
.33 per cent Of loans and discounts
and 10 per cent of total resources
compared with November, 1904, when
overdrafts reached their highest
point. The number of banks has in
creased 35 per cent. and overdrafts
decreased 63.6 per cent
Mr. Murray said this was particu-
larly gratifying for September, when
overdrafts are usually large because
Of the crop movement.
