slump in deposits viii cause no sur
prise in local banking circles, as there
never has been a call when all the
banks showed gains. Furthermore, the
last Federal Reserve Boards report an
nounced a falling off in deposits all
over the country and there appeared
to be no reason why local banks should
not experience some moderate declines.
So many banks. however, are report
ing good gains that the total deposits
in Washington will make splendid
impression It will be remembered that
the February % call came just before
the heavy Withdrawals for tax pay
ments. 1t found the local banks about
SIC, 000, 900 ahead of the December call.
If most of that $l0.000,000 gain has
been retained. local bankers will be
highly pleased, to say the least.
