CAPITAL DEPOSITS

Analysis Disc|oses.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Deposits in Washington's % banks
on June 80, 1887, aggregated exactly
1908 ,8058 88l.07. as compared with
4l,2355l326 on March 81 of this
year, according to an analysis COM
pleted today by Audley A. P. Savage,
auditor of the National Savings g.
Trust Co. Between the first and sec
ond calls this year deposits dropped
,429,632l9, but remained ahead OF
total deposits on June 80 a year ago,
when the banks here had S306, ,4l3,-
7449l on their books.
Auditor Savages analysis diScloses
that the savings banks experienced the
smallest proportionate decrease in de-
positS, slump of S422,072.22. Next
came the trust companies with drop
of more than sll 100000, and then
the national banks with a decline Of
$2O,oo0,oOO, a good deal of which has
already been redeposited since the
July tax date.
Switching of investments caused the
withdrawal of some of the money
from the banks during the second
quarter Funds were placed in other
types of investments during this pc
riod, the aim, of course, being to get
larger returns. Many large investors
pulled down their bank accounts to
reduce their personal tax payments,
temporarily, at least, placing their
money in tax-eXempt securities. The
amounts involved in the annual tax
evasion move were larger this year
than usual, according to bank officials.
Investments in real estate are as
signed as still another reason for re-
duced bank accounts.
