sues Third Call at Close
of Summer Period

The third .925 bank call issued
by the Comptroller of Currency
today for the condition Of banks
as Of September 2S. 1925, caught
the local banks just two days be-
fore they emerged from the sum-
mer period, and therefore found
many banks reporting big de-
ceases in total deposits.
With a few exceptions, in which
the banks reported small increases
in deposits over the last call for
June 80, the general trend today
showed big losses. The chief ex-
captions were the Riggs, Lincoln,
Metropolitan and Liberty National
banks and the Washington Loan
and Trust Company.
Riggs Deposits 80 Millions
Riggs Bank leads the increases
with 4 jump OF $4S5, 900 in deposits,
showing a total Of about $50. 5S5 900.

$287,658; Metropolitan, $1I3, 09S;
Washington Loan and Trust, SSH
672.7S, and Liberty. $35.I4S.
BY far the biggest drop in de-
posits shown by any of the banks
was registered by the Merchants

spectively, $500 ,O42, s1o,970 ,377
and $5,171,5S0 on September %.
