Bank Failures Waning
Losses in Last Fiscal Year Less
Than 3 Cents Per 81, 900

WASHINGTON, Nov. ls.-Thc grow
ing security Of national banks Is shown
by report issued tonight by Con-
troller of the Currency Williams, based
on an analysis of bank failures in the
United States in the thirty-six years
since 1881. Up to 1914 depositors'
losses from bank failures amounted TO
Is cents a 1000 Of all banks deposits.
Within the last three years, however,
lossesahave been only n cents 81 900
of deposits, and in the year ended last
June 30 they were only 1910 cents.
Deposits last year totalled sl2,769 ,000,-
900 and losses were $4,000.
"This great reduction in losses" says
Mr.. Williams, ais largely the result Of
the improved system Of national bank
examinations, Of the greater thorough
ness exercised in these examinations
and Of the policy Of requiring national
banks 10 observe more rigidly the pro-
visions of the law intended for their
protection and the protection Of their
depositors and shareholders"

Little Of the unreasoning pessim-
ism that pervaded the financial dis
trict during the prolonged fall in
prices was in evidence last week,
The fact that prices had stopped
going down was in itself a develop
rent which tended to revive conf
dence, and in addition to this con-
tlnued purchases for investment ac-
count contributed to the better feel
ing. Now that the pressure OF Of
ferings has been removed, it is ap-
parent that the sensational decline

If liquidation reflected more than
anything else bona fide selling by
real holders of securities. Unques-
tionably the market situation has
been greatly improved by the re-
strictions imposed by the Stock Ex-
change authorities on short selling
operations, but it is quite plain the
iggest factor by far during the
severe decline In values of both
stocks and bonds was the selling by
frightened investors. All this hqui-
dation has reflected the inevitable
adjustment of security prices to
worldwide credit conditions and the
complications which are resulting
from the effort to finance the OUTLAWS
incident to carrying on the war.
