FAR ME 1333 Latest Total Represents Gain of $128,331,189 From Low Point. BY EDWARD C. STONE. Total deposits in the 22 Capital banks scored an astonishing gain of $128,331,169.11 between the bottom of the depression in 1933 and March 31, 1937, date of the condition call issued by the Controller of the Currency just the other day, according to a survey completed today by Audley A. P. Sav age, auditor of the National Savings & Trust Co. On June 30, 1933, the date of the first call after the Natipn-wide bank holiday, deposits in the District banks totaled $212,904,324.15. On March 31, 1937, they had climbed to $341,235, 513.26, today’s summary shows. Between the call of three months ago, dated December 31, 1936, and the March call, the banks gained exactly $7,193,385.86, Auditor Savage reports. The December call revealed an all-time high mark in deposits which is far overshadowed by the figures brought to light since March 31. Other Sharp Advances Noted. Other comparisons are equally in teresting. Deposits on March 4, 1936, amounted to $310,007,305.89 which means an upturn in about 12 months of $31,228,207.37. Two years ago. on March 3, 1935, Washington banks car ried total deposits of $275,226,551.85, the advance since that date amounting to $66,008,961.41. Mr. savages analysis reveals that seven of the nine national banks made gains in the last three months; five of the eight savings banks had more money in their vaults, and three of the five trust companies also expanded de posits in the first quarter of 1937. The national banks gained $1,019, 317.78; savings banks $744,209.80 and the trust companies $5,429,858.28. the latter making the best showing of the three groups. Deposits on March 31, 1937. The compilation by Auditor Savage discloses that deposits in the indi vidual banks In the Capital on March 31, 1937, were as follows: National Banks.

Ayres, Cleveland econ omist and banker, in his monthly re view, out this afternoon, declares that b good deal of bad economics is being talked in these days about emergency measures to prevent a business boom, extended controls to check bank credit expansion, and increased Fed eral powers to restrain commodity price advances. These discussions constitute a kind of locking the stable door before the family horse has even been acquired. The truth is, he says, that we not cnly have no business boom, but we have not as yet definitely emerged jfrom the depression. The expansion of bank credit loans so far in this recovery period has been non-specula tive in nature, and so moderate in volume as to be almost minute. The exceptionally rapid price advances have been in commodities of interna tional trade, Col. Ayres states. He considers present discussions baneful because they divert attention end efforts away from the three most pressing economic problems—reduc tion of unemployment, balancing of the Federal budget and harmonizing of labor relations. He would foster efforts to minimize business booms and slumps, but adds that national income, railroad freight traffic and department store sales are still about 20 per cent lower than before the de pression. New construction is about half what it was 10 years ago, he adds. Bankers Off to Spring Meeting. Robert V. Fleming, president, of Biggs National Bank; Sidney F. Tal iaferro, trust officer in the same in stitution. and Wilmer J. Waller, vice president and cashier of the Hamilton National Bank, leave here tonight to Bttepd the A. B, A. Spring council meeting at Hot Springs, Ark. As president of the A. B, A. last year, Mr. Fleming is now on the council and several very important committees; Mr. Waller is a member of the im portant Banking Studies Committee, and Mr. Taliaferro is chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Bank Division. Edgar E. Mountjoy, who has repre sented the A. B. A. in Washington for many years, will also attend the meet ing. George O. Vass, vice president end cashier of Riggs, is a member of the A. B. A. council representing the District Bankers’ Association, but it is doubtful if he takes the trip. The passions are scheduled for next Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday. Heard in Financial District.
