The number of these applications is two hun
dred and nay, ana the amount ot rapuai re
quired to supi.lv them all would be $27,000,000.
Experience has shown, however, that a large
number of applications are placed on file ai
caveatt, to occupy the ground ana deter otner
parties from moving. Very many are specula
tive, ana tome, intended to be uonanae, iau.
because, when brought to the test, the capital
is wanting. Probably, if all these applications
should be granted, net more than ball ef them
would be carried tbrouch to a complete organ
ization. The amouut of caultal In the Western
and Southern States not permanently invested
or actively employed in business ot various
kinds, but Immediately available for the pur
pose of organizing national banks, eannot be
very large, and tbe impression that many mil
lions of cash capital wore awaiting the opuortu
nlty ef investment In national banking Institu
tions has not been fully sustained The provi
sion made by the late act is undoubtedly ample
for the supply of those State, which have less
than their proportion, and would probably suf
fice to supply all reasonable demands even if
not restricted in its distribution. The propriety
of providing for the removal of such restrictions
after the expiration oi one year irom tne aaie
of the passage of the act is respectfully sug
gested.
NATIONAL GOLD BANKS.
Under tke previsions of sections 3, 4, and 5
of the act approved July 12, 1870, authorizing
tbe establishment of national banks fer the
Issue of circulating notes redeemable in specie,
but one bank has vet been established, the Kid
der National Gold Bank, of lion ten, Massachu
setts, with a capital of 1 300,000. Information
las been received that several other institutions
of this character are In process of organization,
or In contemplation, two or three of which are
In California. It was not anticipated that
pecie-paylBg banks would be established to
aDy considerable extent, at present, ia those
isctions of tbe country where a paper cur
rency, lated upon the legal tender issues
of tke Ooveramint, already prevails, a'thiuyhlt
was. and still is, supposed that one er more gold
baaks tnicht be established and snccessfally
coadncted in each of those cities en the Atlantic
seaboard where a considerable foreign trale Is
earrisd on. and in which a certain anenat of
business Is necessarily transacted upon a specie
basis. II all the business ol this kind tli tt is
carried on in the cities of Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore could he concen
trated in one or two banking ic"tutions in
each of those eitles, its extent would undoubt
edly warrant the employment of a very resec
table amount for Its exclusive accommodation.
dbstkuCttom op mutilated VOTBi.
Since the organization of this Barean to the
1st day of October, ultimo, circulating notes
more or less worn ana muuiatea have been
returned by the banks, to be destroyed by burn-
In z, to the amoint of $30,597,518. Of this sum.
17,04, ny, er more than one-ban the total
amount, were returned durinir the last year.
The rapidity with which the national bank notes
are becoming unfit for circulation, and are belug
remixed lor destruction .In order thit they my
be replaced by new, is constantly increasing,
requiring a constantly increasing force of clerks
to attend properly and promptly to the abort
ing, counting, registration, and final burning of
the notes.
TIIB OPERATIONS OP TUB NATIONAL HANK
throughout the country during the last year
have been characterized, by prudence and ex
emption from disaster to an unusual extent.
1 he profits have not been so large as in former
years, owing to various causes, among which
may be noted the decline in the premium on
gold, a reduction in the amount of transactions
in Government bonds and consequent falling off
in commissions, and the fact that, owing to the
general shrinkage in values which has taken
place, the banks generally have realized their
losses, and have cnarged off tbe bulk of their
bad debts. The result, however, miy be re
garded as, upon the whole, satisfactory. Very
thorough and rigid investigation has been made
by skilled accountants, coraoulsiloned m
examiners, into the mode of doing
business, character of tbe management,
and the value and condition of the assets of the
banks during tbe year, and it nas been ascer
tained that the bills and notes discounted are,
to a remarkable extent, based upon the bona
fide transactions, while tbe accommodation
loans are uniformly safe and well secured.
The reeerves required by law to bo held, to
secure tbe payment of circulation and deposits,
are, as a rule, kept on hand, and the general
average of such reserves is ordinarily considera
bly above the amount required.
The limitation of loans to one-tenth of the
paid In capital, a most wholesome restriction,
is, in a large majority of the banks, carefully
observed, and the loans are almost uniformly
well distributed. In very few instances are the
directors allowed to monopolize to any conslder
cble extent the facilities offered.
TDB CIRCULATING FRANCHISE.
The privilege of issuing elreulatlng notes is
eo more valuable as a franchise, under Federal
authority, than it always has been under State
an thorny. The profits derived from it are com
monly over-estimated. A fair estimate of the
average profit on circulation will net much ex
coed five percent., and this is just about the
average rate of taxation paid by national banks:
so that the profits derived from the business of
banking depend maiuly upon the amount of de
posits, which after all constltnte the true basis
of banking. Circula'ion that Issnoney or its
representative is the creature of the Govern
ment, ana is to be reuse on a n source ot pro
fit only in the rudimentary stages of banking.
Ihe hifctory of banking la the older and
wealthier countries of the world famishes abun
dant evidence as to the truth of this statement
Tbe reports of 81 lomt stock banks of Great
Britain of their operations during a part of the
year 18(10 illustrate tho fact stated. Leaving
out tbe Hank of England, which furnishes the
great bulk of the circnlation used in the United
Kingdom, the banks reported employ an abro
gate capital exceeding 13.000,003. and their
net probts lor six months of tbs year lsfi'J were
somewhat in excest oi 4.3,700,000, or at the rate
of about nine per cent, per annum. Reports of
is nanus iortno six niontns succeeding tbe period
emoraceu in me ioregoing statement snow a
capital of over 30,000,000, with dividends
averaging five and three-quarters per cent., and
net pronis not divided equal to one per cent.;
together making tbe net profits of the f3 banks,
whose reports are published, at the rate of thir
teen and a half per cent, per annum.
BANKING BDSISES 8 IN THB UNITIO STATES
In the United States the accumulation of cash
capital is comparatively small. Asia all new
countries, nearly tbe entire capital is required
for tbe transaction of active business, and for
the development ot the resources of tbe coun
try. Ihe amount ot deposits, therefore, or
money at rest, is small in comparison with the
actual wealth 01 the country; but It is conlinu
ally on the increase, and by its aid the national
banks are enabled to bring their earnings up to
an average teat nas .Hitherto proved
satisfactory rto their stockholders. In
view of all the tacH. however.
it seems desirable that the old relations between
the rate of interest and the rate of taxation.
established and observed by nearly all the States
In which banks of issue were authorized, should
not be entirely ignored with regard to national
banks, and inasmuch as tne power oi the states
over the national banks, in these two important
particulars, is exercised only with the consent
of the General Goverument, it would be a wise
precaution for Congress to fix such limitations
as wouia prevent unwise, unrnenuiy, or other
wise damaging legislation.
Allusion lias oeen made in lormcr reports to
the custom of paying interest on deposits by
national banks. Tbe practice existed long be
fore any national banks bad an existence, and
ttiev only continue to no what their predeces
sors did before them, and what bankers every
where consider themselves compelled to ao.
Tbe use of other people s money in the shape
of deposits, without interest, or at a low rate of
Interest, has come to be considered a cardinal
necessity of modern banking. There will
always be those ready to accept its custody,
assume all the risks, and pay interest for its
use, for a margin of profit ranging from one to
three per cent.
It is not always the strongest or wealthiest
bank or banker who is willing to pay the highest
rate for this use of other peoples money.
Ordinarily, judging of banks as of Individuals,
the one most in need of money offers the great
est inducements to depositors. In theory the
custom is dangerous; in practice it is not always
safe. but. nevertheless, it is so thoroughly en
trenched la its position by long observance,
I hat any sweeping enactment prohibiting the
payment of interest on deposits by national
banks would be evaded in some way, or the
baiiks would lose their deposits. There are
scores of banks and - bankers, not sub
ject to tbe control of . Congress, who
would lejolce over such a prohibition as over
tbe discomfiture of an enemy; yet there is one
point that should be guarded. The reserves of
the w hole country are held to a large extent in
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and other
large cities. These reserves should be pro
tected. They should be placed under sucu re
ttrictions as would obviate all necessity loa.
tkeir use by tbe depositary bank. It the insti
tulions owning these reserves cannot afford to
allow them to remain unemployed, so that they
may be in reality what they are lu name, relief
should be afforded in some other way. It is of
vital importance to the country that no portion
of tbe percentage, which the law requires bauks
to bold as a reserve on circulation ana deposits,
should be loaned out, subject to the vicissitudes
and fluctuations of men and Property. Tbere
may be prosperous and easy times
for - years; but there may come
a day when upon the ability of a single
bank lu Mew York city to pay the deposits of
its eountry bank correspondents their reserves
will depend the safety of the whole country.
The banks of New York city have paid as in
terest on deposits during tbe year ending with
tbe SOlh of September the sum of t 2,5tt5,ti:J9 10;
the Boston backs t568,!i? -5S; tho Philadelphia
tacks 1119.001 -47;-while the aggregate sum
raid by all the banks that pay interest on de
posits is t6,4SG.t7J fU. (10C4 banks pay interest
on deposits and Lave reported the a nouut; 510
t asks pay no Interest on deposits: 0 baaks pay
Interest, but cannot report the amount; making
1610 in active operation when the report was
called for.)
TLeie large sums ladietue the wide preva
lence ef the practice nnderconsideratloa, and
tbe difficulty that would be experienced in any
attempt to effect its entire abrogation. If by
any meatiF, however, the moneys held in the
large cities, constituting tbe reserves ot the
country banks, can be exempt from the opera
tion of this custom, the main point, and the one
In which, above all others, the entire public is
interested, will be gained.
ire inither considsiallon oi this snoi set is
snl milled 10 the wisdom of Congress.
BRPBMrTION Or CIRCULATING BOTES.
1 be necessity for some arranrement by which
the notes of national banks may be asserted and
returned to tne several nanus ot issue lor re
demption is becoming more and more apparent,
as tbe difficulty of dealing with the worn and
mntilated notes newln circulation is experienced.
Tbe arguments contained in former reports, in
lavor ot a re nerai redeeming airency in the city
of New York, will not be repeated or extended
on the present ocovion. The conviction is
expressed, however, that if the banks were
authorized to establish an Institution of their
own for that purpose, owned, controlled, and
managed in their interest, they wo ild find it
crvatly to their profit to do so.
Such an institution would also serve as the
custodian of the reserves kept In New York,
thereby exempting them from the risks Inci
dent to funds deposited in the ordinary way and
drawing interest, and would perhaps obviate
tbe necessity ,of specific legislation upon the
subject of tke payment of interest on deposits;
while tbe benefit to tbe whole country, arising
from a fiscal agency so truly national in its
character regulating the currency, the ex
changes, and the banking interests of the coun
try, beyond the eontrol ol any ring or clique
because managed by all for the benefit of all
would be of the roost substantial and endurinz
kind. Respectfully submitted.
