D. C. DEPOSITS SET
ME HIGH
Controller’s Call Reveals
$341,222,841 Total at
End of March.
BY EDWARD C. STONE.
Total deposits In Washington’s 22
banks aggregated $341,222,841.56 on
March 31, 1937, it was learned by The
Star today following the controller’s
call for the condition of all banks in
the District on that date. This is a
new all-time deposit peak. The con
troller also asked for the condition of
all national banks in the country at
the close of business March 31.
The total of $341,222,841.56 on
March 31 of this year compares with
a total of $334,042,127.40 on deposit
in Capital banks on December 31, 1936,
the date of the last previous call by
the controller. The December figure
also established a new high mark at
that time. The gain reported today
■was $7,180,714.16 in the past three
months.
Today’s survey disclosed that 16 of
the banks in this city had larger de
posits on March 31, while deposits in
the six others were lower than three
months ago. Today’s call had been
expected on March 4, but the con
troller sent it out to cover the full
first quarter of the calendar year. The
22 Washington banks reported the fol
lowing deposits on March 31:

•with $209,469,000 in February, 1936,
or an increase of 12.9 per cent, the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
states in its latest review. The report
indicates a notable pick-up in check
activity and supplies further definite
proof of steady business expansion in
the Capital.
The report further shows that in the
banks of 24 fifth district cities, includ
ing Washington, February figures ex
ceeded February, 1936, totals by 16
per cent, every city except Lynchburg
reporting higher figures for the 1937
month. Charleston, S. C.. with a 35
per cent gain, showed the greatest in
crease over the 1936 returns, while
gains of more than 16 per cent were
shown by 1' of the 24 cities.
Three Maryland cities reported an
average increase of 14.7 per cent in
February of this year over debits a
year ago. Seven Virginia citie. gained
an average of 14.5 per cent, two West
Virginia cities had a pick-up of 22.2
per cent, seven North Carolina cities
were up 21 per cent and four South
Carolina cities 20 per cent. Baltimore
was ahead of Washington with an
Increase of 14.7 per cent. Richmond,

for this city.
Elsewhere in the report the Rich

represented commercial, industrial and
agricultural loans, while only $1,771,
000 of the increase represented loans
on securities. Investments in securities
rose $51,194,000 during the year
chiefly because of purchases of Gov
ernment securities. Demand deposits
were up over $53,000,000.

BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Wrltar.
NEW YORK. April 8.—Steels and
coppers rallied in today's stock market
and a number of yesterday’s fleeing
leaders retrieved portions of their
losses.
Wall Street confidence was still a
bit shaky, however, as rumors of a
change in the Treasury’s gold buying
price—already emphatically denied
continued the principal subject of dis
cussion in the board rooms
At the same time one of the large
commission houses with foreign con
nections heard reports monetary sta
bilization conversations were going on
between the United States and Eng
land. although confirmation was
lacking.
Stocks went through a nervous ses
sion. A sweeping recovery of fractions
to 3 points at the opening was suc
ceeded by a selling wave that parted
the list from most of its gains and put
the ticker tape 5 minutes behind.
Quiet support turned the list about
1 later, but prices were somewhat un
even at the close. Transfers were
around 1,900,000 shares.
Coppers stepped up when the export
metal advanced and red metal futures
developed strength. At the same time
a customs smelter lowered the domestic
I copper price cent a pound to 1512
cents.
No help was derived from the Gov
ernment bond department, most listed
i Federal loans continuing to sink.
Corporation bonds were mixed.
