D. C. DEPOSITS UP
SHARPLY IN YEAR
Show Increase of More
Than 34 Millions in Last
12 Months.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.
Total deposits in the National Capi
tal's 22 banks have bounded upward
more than $34,000,000 In the last 12
months and soared over $97,000,000
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 $16,000.
000 in the first two months and four
days of the present year, in compari
son with the call of December 31,
1935, at the same time reaching a new
all-time peak.
An analysis completed today by
Audley A. P. Savage, auditor of the
National Savings & Trust Co., shows
that bank deposits on the call dated
March 4, 1936, totaled exactly $310,
007,305.89. making the advance $16.
313,779.26 since the December condi
tion request.
During this period 19 Washington
bankers reported higher figures than
at the end of 1935. One national
bank, one savings bank and one trust
company reported somewhat lower
totals than on December 31. As a
group, the national banks scored a
gain of $11,546,614.54, the savings
banks added $1,003,185.84 and the
trust company stepped up their de
posits by $3,763,978.88.
Striking Gains During Y’ear.
The March 4 total of $310,007,305.89
Compares with $275,226,551.85 on March
4. 1935, a jump of $34,780,754.04. Be
tween the calls of March 4 a year ago
and the usual call at the end of the
Government’s fiscal year on June 30
total deposits dropped to $266,586,
839.82. But on the next call, dated
December 1.1935, this slump had been
more than wiped out and deposits had
run up to $290,200,627.01. Since then
they have been climbing higher and
higher.
Deposits in the banks here dropped
to the low mark of the depression on
the call dated June 30, 1933, getting
down to $212,904,324.15. That was
both the minimum since the Nation
wide bank holiday and also since the
financial crash of 1929.
The figures present a vivid picture
of the real recovery that has been
taking place in the Capital for almost
three years. While not as good a bus
iness barometer as bank clearings, yet
deposits are an accepted Indicator of
confidence, business progress and
thrift
Deposits on March 4, 1936.
Auditor Savage's compilation shows
that total deposits in the individual
banks on March 4, 1936, were as fol
lows:

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 60 per cent capacity, which
is the highest since the latter part of
1933. Only a month ago operations
were 51.7 per cent of capacity, and for
the corresponding week of 1935 at 46.8
per cent, and but three years ago the
rate was placed at 14 per cent. Elec
tric power production makes an espe
cially impressive picture for the reason
that it is making rapid strides forward
from the low point reached in 1934.
The American people as a 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 $690,319,000 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 w'ith $633,900,000 in
the first two months a year ago and
$602,449,000 spent two years ago. and
It may be added that the sales in
February showed a gain of $34,559,000
over the corresponding period a year
ago, or an increase of 10.8 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
aeries, appearing in Atlanta dally
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 a new slant.
Here’s the conv:
Every dollar paid by one taxpayer
hold* down the burden of every other
taxpayer and helps maintain neces
aary public services.
During the last year the First
National Bank of Atlanta paid city,
county, State and Federal taxes total
ing *218,168.42. In addition, over 300
of its officers and employes, most of
whom derive their sole income from
the bank, pay substantial taxes yearly.
DIVIDEND IS VOTED.
NEV' YORK, March 21 (Special).—
Directors of American Maize Products
Co. have declared the regular quar
terly dividend of *1.75 per share on
the company’s preferred stock and a
dividend of 25 cents per share on the
common, both dividends payable
March 31 to stockholders of record
March 24.

(Comnlled bj tb* Associated Preas)
BY VICTOR El'BANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK. March 21.—Flood
fears today acted as a further stock
market depressant.
While scattered specialties succeeded
in moving against the trend, man '
recent industrial favorites backed u>
for declines of fractions to around -
points. The close was easy. Tran -
fers approximated 850.000 shares.
J. I. Case displayed isolated strengt .
getting up about 4 points. Lesser im
provement was shown by Pathe. Stone
& Webster. General Refractories,
Thomson-Starrett, Deere and Min
neapolis-Moline Plow.
On the losing end were American
Telephone, United States Steel, Bethle
hem, General Motors, Chrysler, Amer
ican Can, Standard Oil of New Jersey,
American Commercial Alcohol, Schen
ley, Howe Sound. Anaconda, American
Smelting and Curtiss-Wright. The rails
and utilities were unchanged to slightly
lower.
Bonds were quiet and steady. Com
modities were moderately mixed. Prin
cipal foreign currencies again gave
ground in terms of the dollar.
A contra-seasonal decrease of more
than 17.000 cars in last week's freight
■shipments was in line with previous
forecasts. The total, usually announced
Friday, was delayed because floods held
up the reports.
In the financial district there were
mixed opinions of the flood situation.
It was recognized that millions of dol
lars will be required for restoration of
homes and business property as well
as for urgent repairs.
So far as the railroads whose lines
have been seriously affected by the
high waters are concerned, it was ex
pected the companies will be com
pelled to set aside large sums for re
construction this month that other
wise probably would have gone into
net earnings.
Temporary shut-downs of principal
steel mills in the flood area led to early
predictions that the production rate,
to be announced Monday, may show
a drop of between 71- and 10 points.
