BY 1. A. FLEMING.

The controller Of the currency today
called upon the national banks of the
snation and on all banks in the Dis
trict of Columbia for a statement of
tneir condition at the close of bust
ness September L. The last previous
call was for June 80. so that longer
time than usual elapsed between calls.
In the interim between the dates
mentioned the national banks have re-
turned all of the tax money redeposit-
ed by the Treasury and have also re-
turned funds heavily to the govern
ment from war deposit account as
we'll as making payment on account
of victory liberty bonds.
The trust companies not having any
tax money to return have been rela-
lively much better fixed in regard to
their deposits.
Five of the six trust companies show
a net gain in deposits of Ss14,42i;
some few of the national banks may
show gains, but the majority lose
more or less heavily, the Riggs show
| ing $1,024.000 less than on June 80.
which loss was almost entirely made
| up by the return of tax funds.
The American Security and Trust
! Company led the trust companies
with over s1,006.000 net gain in de-
| posits.
! Inc savings DankS reporting gen
| orally showed modest gains.
AS stated before, July and August
are not saving months; they are
| months when vacations are popular
and the cost secondary. and yet but
| for the return of the tax money to the
| government it is within the probabili-
| ties that handsome increase would
| have been shown in most OF the ma
| tional banks, and in the aggregate
deposits in comparison with the June
| 80 figures.

Company showed gain OF $l,OO6.664.
