A large proportion of the circulating notes
which have been furnished by the comp
troller wait intended to take the place and
ia taking the place of the circulation of such
State banks as have been converted into
national ones, or o( thorn whose notes have
"jbeen mluntar !y retired, or have been re
turned fron those parts of the country in
which the notes of the United States and
of the national hanks are alone current so
that the currency delivered to the national
banks ia not and will not be altogether an
fcdditimt to the papet money of the country,
,l»ut rather, to a considerable extent, the
substitution of it for that of tho State
banks.
It is perhaps to be rerretted that so many
.new banks have been organized in states
where, before the passage of th«* act, there
was
TO
deflcency of banking capital. Th^re
would have been leas cause for apprehension
that hanking capital in any of the states
was being too rapidly increased, if, by snit
able legislation of the states, state banks
had bc*n sooner authorized to avail them
selves of the benefits of the national cur
:ren*y a% and the managers of banks
where the necessary legislation had b'en'
obtained, bad more promptly discerned the
inevitable tendency of the public sentiment,
and co-operated with the government in its
effor's to nationalize the bank note circula
tion of the country. It was not the inten
tion of the originators and friend* of the
system^ nor has it been the policy of the
comptroller, to swell, throagh the instru
mental:ty of the national banks the volume
-of paper money. On the contrary, the sys
tem was designed to check overissues by
requiring ample security for every dollar
which shoald be put into circiilat'O", and
it has been the aim of the comptroller so
.to administer the law as to prevent, instead
:"'jof encnu-ating, an unhealthy aud dangvr
toui expansion of credits.
happy in being able to saj that my
^apprehensions of a too rapid increase of na
tional banks have been much lessened by
the recent action of many State banks! The
Legislature of Pennsylvania, following the
•sample of the Legislature of MaasaHiu
toetta. Connecticut. etc., baa recently au
ftjoriaed tbe baaks of tint i^tpUe to re-or
|Miia under the national system, and the
^stockholders of so many of them are avail
Ing theasselVM of this authority, as to ren
jder it quite certain that at an early d^y
»»n» wilt be in this great central State,
^without a dangerous increase oT its banking
capitt I, bat MM system of banking. In
IMI,
tho indications are now unmistakable
4tbai the time is not fitr distant when the
jpMfle of dM.QfM 8w*ea will bo ovety*
iwbnNUHMor« batik note circulation of
credit and UMsrtain value, and
iMsppUsd with «w of uniform crodit and as
]w1 aa the nation. It has been the
earnest #Mi af
MM
comptroller that this
doaiimbU Mm ihwld bo brought about
itbioughilM agsaer of esistlad bonks, rath
tban by tka argsais itiea of now ones, no
|tba*tlM«aiional alreulation might bo httro-
I with as little increase of banking cap
as po«eible. A natiooal bank not* cur

Bat awn in
fllalsa by the irwanfimtien of national banks
by Aa Btoeliboldars of »ate bsnka, aadtbs
transfer of the assetaof the latter to the
former, the change has been already, in
aMny inatsnces. sSbetod with«atleee to the
owners, and with very little practical incon
venience to the managers.
It is al-o ari inttp-sting fact, that the
stork vlHUl* banks wbit have been chang
ed into national associations has not been
depreciated by the chase* on the contrary
the shares of most of the in have le« n ap
preciated, and 1 know of to instance in
which their real or market value has been
injuriously affected by it. This fact aofi*
cietttty refute* the charge, sometimes argsd
against the system, that it was being forced
upon the country to the prejudice of the
stockholders of State institutions.
It may be proper for me to state another
fact in this connection of interest to the pub*
lie, which i, thst the national banks are,
without any known exceptions, in safe, al
though some of them are in inexperienced
hands, and that the fears that the national
banking system would be trie means of till
ing the country with hanks of fictitious cap
itals, and be a reproduction, on a large
scale, of the stock banking systems of
States in which they had provtd be a
failure, if not a fraud, arc, from present in
dications, without a real foundation.
The fact that huch apprehensions were
entertained or wcro professed to be enter
tained by the bankers of a State, in which
a system similar in some of its main fea
tures was in practical operation, intimida
ted, for a while, the capitalists of other
States, and retarded the re-organization of
State banks, but worked no permanent in
jury to the national system. On the con
trary, the expression of these fears has led
to a thorough examination of the act, and a
careful observation of :ts administration,
and the result hss been favorable to both.—
It baa been discovered that in many impor
tant particulars the national system diners
from, and is an improvement upon the State
system, which it the most closely resembles
that it restricts circulation to ninety per
cent, of the bonds on deposit with the treas
urer, and prohibits tbe banks from issuing
note* to an amount exceeding their bona
ti ie paid up capitals, sworn to by their offi
cers that cvt'i y interior national bank, in
addition to redeeming its notes at its own
counter, is compelled to redeem at par, at
some roininerciitl ccntrc, thereby tending to
prevent high rates of exchange between the
different sections of tho country, and that,
in case of the failure of a bank to redeem
its notes according to the provisions of the
act,these notes, instead of lieing depreciated,
would be at once redeemable in lt«rlui
money, at the treasury of the United States.
It hns been also ascertained that the comp
troller is requiring the most satisfactory ref
erences or ctcdcritiais in regard to the stand
ing and responsibility of the persons propos
ing to organize national banks, and is insti
tuting a system of examinations which will
do much to expose and check improper
practices on the pa of the bankers, and
violations of wholesome provisions of the
law.

The half yearly shareholders' meeting
was held on the 13th of October last. The
report for half year to June 13th, was sub
mitted by the Chairman. In submitting
this report, he referred to the difficulties
under wnich the road labored on account of
the fluctuations in American currency, and
the dep orablc accident an Beiceil bridge.
In the latter case, a settlement of all the
claims had been cfTcctcd on terms which
were fair to the sufferers and the company.
The gross receipts from all sources during
the time named amount to £.28,301, or
about $2,GOO,000 tho working expenses to
£:l 10,021, or about $1,500,000, leaving a
balance of £213,280, or about $1,000,000.
Deducting from th«s £34,489 for the renew
al of the permanent way, left a bal.iuce of
£181,791, or $850,000. These receipts, com
pared with the corresponding half of 18^3.
show an increase of £74,079, equal to about
15-80 Ig cent.
The ngrcment with the Buffalo and Lake
Huron Company had been carrird into ef
fect, and he was happy to say it had met
with approval in Upper Canada, and was
working most satisfactorily. Instead of the
Western produce sent by that linn bring
confined to the route via Buffalo the for
warder could nor[send it as well toTorcn 0
or Mon'real. Mr. Brydpes had reported that
the traffic over the Buffalo and Lake Huron
line was now 40 cent, more than for the
corresponding period of last year, and he
was of tho opinion that if the International
Bridge was completed at Buffalo, he could
easily double that increase. With regard
to the leased lir.es, they were working sat
isfactorily. The receipts on the Atlantic
and St. Lawrence lines amounted to £104,
00ft, and after dedueting expensenses and
other charges, there remained a balance of
£ti,ltiG. But if the interest on those bonds
were payable in England, there would have
been a loss in exchange of £5,588. The De
troit and Port Huron line showed a receipt
of £27.010, and expenses of £28,425, in
cluding rent, showing an apparent loss of
£809 but if they had to pay in gold, there
would be a loss of £7,0«8.
