Figures From 1875The figures compiled by the Bureau

of Statistics show the total depositsin the various banking organizations ofthe country so far as they can be

from 1875 down to the preseattime though It is proper to add thatthe figures for private banks includesince 1887 only such banks as volun-tarily report to the Comptroller ofthe Currency In other words onlyabout onefourth of the total num-ber of private banks in the UnitedStates During the period from 1875to 1882 the figures cover the deposits-in practically all private banks Tak-ing the figures at Intervals from 187Sto 1901 the total deposits In all bank-ing institutions stand as follows3S78 1S78434270 i 1S 2 4O94 U5S1-SSZ 27 S6S06 1W7 5M 47S

An analysis of the deposit figures ofeach class of banks is interesting andin some cases may be carried back overa much longer term of years The

figures cover the deposits ia cer-tain classes of banks at a much earlierdate than that covered by the v portsupon loan and trust companies and private banks

Private Bank DepositsThe ligures of deposits In private

banks are complete from 1875 to 1882 by

reason of the fact that deposits Inbanks were taxed during that periodand therefore returns wore completebut on the repeal of the law placing atax on such deposits only about onefourth of the total number of privatebanks continued to make reports tothe Comptroller of the Currency Thefigures for private bank deposits subsequent to 1SS7 are therefore materially
