Washington, Jan. S1 - How the United States has become the domi- nant banking power of the world is shown in the annual report of the Comptroller of the Currency, John Skelton Williams, presented today to Congress.
 Comptroller Williams estimates the whole banking power of the nation at 73,529, 100000, an increase of more than $14,O0O,OOO CJO since the be- ginning of President Wilson's admin istration. Taking the latest estimate of the banking power of the world, placed in 1890 at S15,558,O ,00O, America's increase is alone nearly equal to the worlds combined banking power 27 years ago, and on that basis now two and a half times as great.
 National banks of the United States, Comptroller Williams declares, are stronger. sefer, more observant of laws and more efficiently managed than ever before. Their resources $18,553, ,197, ,000-are by more than two billion dollars greater than ever before and exceed by about the same amount the combined resources of all state banks, private banks and trust companies. Under three years of the Federal Reserve system na- tional bank resources have increased more than 7,00O,0OO, 900.
 Comptroller Williams, however couples his report of this enormous growth with a warning that duties

and responsi abilities have increased no less than the resources.
 Ut is of supreme importance" he says that al1urements of profit from commerce or industry in this country or in neutral countries, not essential to our success in the war, should not induce us to divert or dis sipate the capital or financial re- sources of our people,"
 The danger from decline of earn ing capacity of public utility corpora tions and conseuent shrinking of values in their securities, the comp troller warns, is a real danger which should stimulate the efforts of con- gress and every patriotic citizen.
 First relief, he thinks might come from state commissions and munich pal authorities, and he expresses the hope that congress will directly or in- directly provide for the advancing ot money to corporations where it is necessary to insure proper service to unusual, the comptroller admits, but he points out that the times are un- usual.

STOCK MARKET
SlIIIIillIilIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlTlEIIIIIIIIiI

NeY York, Jan. 31-Opening- vances at the opening of today's stock market were fairly well distri- buted among steels, coppers, eq1ip- ments, railroads and war issues as a whole. Gains in these groups ex- tended to a point in several instances approximating two points. Special ties were represented by Texas Co.,, Industrial Alcohol, General Motors and International Paper. Leaders indicated further short covering.
 Noon.-Trading switched largely to railroads later, the inquiry being the broadest of recent weeks. Standard issues gained one to 1-2 points, mi nor railroads also displaying unusual activity. The movement followed an- nouncement of a grant of increased rates to transcontinental roads and publication of a summary of the re- quested railroad wage increase. In dustrials under lead of United States Steel also extended initial gains with popular equipments and specialties.
 Liberty 8 1-2s at T.20 and second As at 95.7S recorded new lows, the first As repeating their low at 96.50.

ECHOES OF THE PAST

Ten years ago today, on Jan. 31, 1908, Charley Weary and Freddie Welsh fought a ten-round draw in Milwaukee. This was the last impor- tant ring bout of Neary, the rugged little scrapper who was for several years one of the top-notchers of the lightweight division. Weary was born in Milwaukee, and grew to a height of feet 4 3-4 inches. He commenced fighting in that city in 1900. After several victories he was knocked out by Jack Dougherty, the Englishman, in 1901, but he got back at Jack with the same medicine a c5-r' of years later. In 1903 he whip Battling Nelson and Kid Broad |; knocked out Kid Herman, Johnny Thompson and Kid Farmer. Then followed a couple of draws with Aurelio Herrera, the Mexican, and defeat by Benny Yanger. In 1906 Weary handed the sleep punch to Herrera and Kid Far mer, but was himself put to sleep by Jimmy Briggs in a bout at Los An geles. He fought Packey Mcfarland in 1907. but was defeated.
