Reasons AScribed for Gains.
Bankers said today that the call came
at a particularly favorable time. Since
IL came shortly after the first of the
month. many of the deposits of Gov
eminent employees were still in the
banks.
Improving Fall business has also
brought money into the banks, and
MANY of the checks for recently paid
taxes have not yet been presented for
payment. A flood of october l divi-
dendS has also helped to swell the total
deposits.
Bank officials report that there is
usually gain in deposits at this season
of the year. but none had expected
quite such favorable returns as came
to light today.

The Stock Exchange made record

WASHINGTON BANK
DEPOSITS INCREASE
Controllers Call Finds D. C.
Institutions in Unusually
Good Condition.
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Many sharp gains in deposits in
Washington banks since the call OF
June 80, 1923. we're revealed today in
the first returns on the condition OF
local financial institutions as OF Octo-
Der 3.
Controller Mcintosh sprang another
surprise today by issuing the bank call
on the same day that the blanks we're
received on which the returns are to
b. reported There is usually five to ten
days between the time the blanks are
sent out and the call is made.
Today's call found the local banks In
an unusually favorable condition, the
great majority showing good increases
over the deposits on the last call ana
those showing falling of in deposits
presenting figures rejecting only mod
crate declines.
MANY Excellent Gains Noted.
IN the first 81 local banks reached
following announcement OF the eau, 40
reported gains and announced lower
deposits.
Riggs National announced a gain OF
k3 o8I sac over the June figures. Sew
rrsl other banks reported gains OF wen
over 81 100000. Next to Riggs the
American Security g. Trust Co. had the
largest advance in deposits during the
period. ~
The Union Trust Co., National Metro
politan and District National were
among the first to report particularly
good gains Many others followed with
marked Increases.
The savings banks reported sufficient
gains IN indicate that thrift is still
p'aving an important part among WASH
frvtonians. The national banks and
trust companies as groups are also
in fine condition.
Comparison of Last Two Calls.
The limited time following the call
made it impossible to reach all the
local banks. Enough figures we're Sc
cured today. however. to reveal the
upward trend which will be decidedly
pleasing to the banking fraternity here.
