Bank Call Coming. II.
Blanks for reporting the condition of all
banks, on cali from the controller of the
currency, were distributed through the
malls to Washington banks this morning,
indicating that the second call Of the year
1918 Is at hand. The, last cali was for
March 4. '.
Despite tho very heavy. subscriptions to
the third liberty loan the prospects are
that tho response to the next call will
show a large Increase in the deposits of
the banks.
Only per cent OF the liberty loan sub
ecriptions have been turned in by the
banks, save in comparatively few in
stances. where full payment has been
made to the Treasury, and the next IN
stallment will not be paid over until
May 90
Tax money has been withdrawn from the
banks very freely. and it may be that the
latter may more than offset the third lib
erty loan funds deposited by buyers for
iGash and on installment.
