Certainly. it is my intention to give

The District Of Columbia department

this purpose.
THE bureau is now actively engaged

ON STOCKS

Losses In the stock market and
withdrawing Of money for vacation
expenses are advanced as possible
reasons for the decline of $3.6S7, ,T6S
in Washington bank deposits be-
tween March ~ and June 29.
The heavy drop is brought TO
attention by the call of the Comp.
trollef of the Currency for a state
ment OF the condition of banks as
OF June 30, which was made pub.
lie yesterday.
Tabulatipn of the reports of individ.
ual banks show total deposits as OF
June 20 were 1854, ,505,953, as
against deposits Of $26S, ,193,716 re-
ported at the close Of business on
March %.
ANY reason to which the drop
may be attributed is of course un-
official and bankers generally are
reluctant to advance theories. How
ever, it seems to be agreed that the
loss was due to payment of in
come taxes, vacation withdrawals,
losses in the stock market and
withdrawal Of money to use in
building operations.
In only four of the II national
banks here did the deposits show
an increase. Total deposits in ma
tional banks amounted to $780,
