eral rule. There have not been many
instances where the reaction has con-
tinued and the security practically
eliminated from trading lists.
With the recovery on bonds
| banks make much money, but it
doesn't show in the figures until such
lime as the actual sale has been made
and the profit turned in and credited.
Banks occasionally make loans that
turn out badly. They admit 1t, and as
a rule they all admit the imDeachment.
although the ultra conservative official
and the trust company that eXacts
collateral security on practically every
! loan made. generally manage to avoid
| losses.
Not infrequently the loss sustained
is charged off from the books of the
bank-very promptly by some and on
the order of the bank examiner for
others. 4 late controller of the cur
rency. j. s. Williams. caused much
! charging off in this CITY.
Loss Comes Back Occasionally.
Sometimes the loss is partially re.
covered and occa asionaliy entirely re-
gained. Take the case of the loan TO
the Washington Utilities by syndi
cate of bankers. where the collateral
was 81 800 shares of the common stock
of the Washington Railway and Elcc
tric 60. The loss in this case ap
peared serious. but in place Of losing
money, the banks made full recovery
when the North American Co. pur
chased the entire collateral at a price
that let the bankers out clean.
Sometimes partial recovery of losses
are made, repayment covering IA long
term. but full credit not taken until
the final settlement. Therein is an
other source of more or less important
concealed assets.

In addition to the encouragement
that has come IT, the youth of the

In the olden days the cashier was
