D. c. DEPOSITS UP
SHARPLY IN YEAR
Show Increase of More
Than 81 Millions in Last
II Months.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Total deposits in the National Capt.
tails % banks have bounded upward
more than $4,000, 900 in the last IL
months and scared over $97 7,000,0 900
since the low point of the depression.
AS noted on the day of the con-
troller's call last Monday, deposits in
the banks here gained over $16,00O,-
900 in the first two months and four
days Of the present year. in COMPARE
son with the call of December 81,
1888, at the same time reaching new
all-time peak.
An analysis completed today by
Audley A. P. Savage, auditor Of the
National Savings e. Trust Co.. shows
that bank deposits on the call dated
March 4. 1886, totaled exactly $780,
007 ,3o5.s9, making the advance S16.-
3l3,779.26 since the December condi-
ton request.
During this period 19 Washington
bankers reported higher figures than
at the end of 1885. One national
bank, one savings bank and one trust
company reported somewhat lower
totals than on December 81. AS a
group, the national banks scored a
gain of Sl1,546,61454, the savings
banks added $l,003, 3,18584 and the
trust company stepped up their de-
posits by $3,763 1888.
Striking Gains During Year.
The March 4 total of 0,007, ,305 SO
compares with $275 ,226, ,551 IS on March
4, 1885. a jump of $34 ,780, ,754.04. Be
tween the calls of March a year ago
and the usual call at the end of the
Governments fiscal year on June 80
total deposits dropped to S266,5S6,-
s39.82. But on the next call, dated
December /, 1885, this slump had been
more than wiped out and deposits had
run up to $500 200.627.O1. Since then
they have been climbing higher and
higher.
Deposits in the banks here dropped
10 the low mark of the depression on
the call dated June 80, 1888 getting
down to S2l2,904. .32415. That was
both the minimum since the Nation
wide bank holiday and also since the
financial crash of 1929.
The figures present vivid picture
Of the real recovery that has been
taking place in the Capital for almost
three years. While not as good bus
iness barometer as bank clearings, yet
deposits are an accepted indicator of
confidence, business progress and
thrift.
Deposits on March 4, 1886.

that total deposits in the individual

Reports Remain Encouraging


Corporation reports that are being
received are in most instances holding
up very well, says the Henry Clews
& Co. weekly review. The most en-
couraging news in this respect is from
the steel and iron industry, indicating
a steady improvement all along the
line, with operations this week esti-
mated at so per cent capacity, which
Is the highest since the latter part of
1888. Only a month ago operations
were SIT per cent of capacity, and for
the corresponding week of 1885 at 46.8
per cent, and but three years ago the
rate was placed at IA per cent. Elec-
trio power production makes an espe-
cially impressive picture for the reason
that it is making rapid strides forward
from the low point reached in 1884.
The American people as class are
now in a speeding mood, the review
adds, and this is borne out by the
fact that despite the most severe
Winter in years there was expended
approximately $500, ,3l9, 900 for general
merchandise in department stores,
mail order organizations and general
and variety chain stores in the first
two months of the current year.
This compares with $633 900, 900 in
the first two months year ago and
S602, ,449, 900 spent two years ago, and
It may be added that the sales in
February showed gain of $34, $50 900
over the corresponding period year
ago, or an increase of 1913 per cent.
Bank Cheerful Over Taxes.
A new campaign bursts from the
First National Bank, Atlanta, Ga,
identified by the head, Banking and
Public Welfare" The first of this
series, appearing in Atlanta daily
newspapers, introduces this subject.
Topics discussed by subsequent adver-
tisements impart the flavor Of the
campaign: Taxes" Making Money
Work" and Loans, Small and Large" /"
The one on taxes has q new slant.
Here's the copy:
Every dollar paid by one taxpayer
holds dowr. the burden Of every other
taxpayer and helps maintain neces-
sary public services.
During the last year the First
National Bank Of Atlanta paid city,
county, State and Federal taxes total
ing S2l8,16842. In addition, over 300
OF its officers and employees, most of
whom derive their sole income from
the bank, pay substantial taxes yearly.
