A BIG INCREASE IN BANK CAPITAL I Earnings of the National Banks, Cross and Net, Exceed Previous Records ONLY FIVE FAILURES During Fiscal Year Ending Oct. 31, 1920, and Total Capital Was $205,000 Washington, I). C„ Nov. 8. — The. comptroller of the currency today is : sued the following report on the condition of the National banks of the country for the fiscal yhar ending October 31, 1920: Rapid and violent alternations of' expansion and contraction have sub-1 jected our business fabric, our finan-! dal system, and especially the banks' of the United States to the most se-' vere test of efficiency and stability I that can be imagined. They have met this unprecedented test in away tn prove their solid strength and the win-1 dom and fidelity of those who direct them. The figures and facts must give the American people and the world increased confidence In the safety ami | power of the banking and business interests of this country. The shrinkage in the value of our I principal commodities and articles of j production during the llsscal year end-1 cd October 31, 1920, is the greatest in commercial history, not only in amount but in the proportion .of the decline to former values, it amounts to many billions of dollars. It was preceded by leaping upward of values and prices from 1914 to 1919 almost beyond the capacity of figures to express comprehensively. No six years in the history of the world nave brought convulsions and u changes so tremendous or intense. 4 The maimer in which our banks have endured these ordeals is an imprese cive indication that they were not j tempted from the ways of safety and honesty by the excitement of inflata--11 tion. The policy of wisdom and fidelity to trust and reepomdbility that has kept us secure has been generally d uniform and has guided the smallest and more remote banks as well as the largest at the commercial centers. In the past year of swift declines our national banks, with which this bureau has especially to do, have ► made the best record in forty years, b in immunity from failures, excepting only the fiscal year of 1919. which was

! the climax of the upward movement The total capital of the five national banks placed with receivers in the fiscal year ending October 31, J 920, is only $205,000. This is less than one ' eight of the yearly averages of the capital of national banks which hav« 1 failed in fifty-six years since the be 1 ginning of national banks. ! The national banking system of th< • United States has not only endure* I unshaken, in the midst of them. Dur 1 ing the past fiscal year 361 charter: were granted for new national bankwith capital of $.31,077,500, and 608 na tional banks have increased their cap ital a total of $104,618,100. The nel Increase of authorized national bank ing capital for the year, after subtract ing all decreases by consolidation • voluntary' liquidaitionls, receiVei chips and reductions of capital is $llB,BlO. 1 000. This is 50 per cent, more than the greatest Increase for preced . ing year since 1865. The latest reports of the earnings iof the national banks, botli gross ami [ net, covering the 12 monttis eliding I June 30. 1920, which have just been i compiled, exceed all previous records. | The gross earnings for these 12 ! months are reported at $1,109,116,000 as compared with $515,624 in 1914, jas compared with $515,624 in 1914, an increase in seven years of $593,492 - 000, or 115 percent.
