There Is no let up in the tendency
for bank deposits to increase, judg-
ing from the returns made by the
larger national banks to the comp
troller's call on May /. or the 5S
banks reporting gross deposits in
excess of $25,000.000, all but II
showed increases as compared with
the previous call on March z.
Contrasting the returns with a
year ago, only one bank In the list
suffered loss, while In most in
stances the proportional gain was
large.
The largest gains In gross deposits
since the March Z call were reported
by the New York city institutions.
The First and Old Detroit Ma
tional bank, Of Detroit, stands twen-
ty-sixth in the list. as 1t did follow
ing the March call. It's deposits at
the time of the recent call were $751;
031, 900, whereas on March 7 they
totalled $50,66S,000. On May 1,

A certain man, whose name
we will not mention, has been
taking the Express for nearly
five years and during that time
has not paid one cent. although
the account has been rendered
several times
A couple of weeks ago we sent
another circular letter asking for
our pay. He came in few days
latter, paid the amount to date,
stopped the paper and played
the role of injured innocence,
pretending to be shocked and in
suited at being dunned.
Our opinion of a man of this
stamp would not look well in
