6 REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

These banks are located by geographical divisions, as follows: East-ern States 4 banks, with capital of $400,000; Middle States, 20, withcapital of $2,895,000; Southern States, 21, with capital of $2,425,000;Western States, 76, with capital of $9,473,000; Pacific States, 8, withcapital of $725,000; Territories, 16, with capital of $1,020,000.

Since the establishment of the national banking system, on February25,1863, there have been organized 3,406 national banks. Of these 432have gone into voluntary liquidation for the purpose of winding up theiraffairs; 79 have gone into voluntary liquidation for the purpose of reor-ganization; 64 are in liquidation by expiration of their charter, of whichnumber 38 have been reorganized; and 104 have been placed in the handsof receivers for the purpose of closing up their affairs; leaving the totalnumber in existence 2,727, on November 1,1885, which is the largest num-ber that has been in operation at any one time.

The corporate existence of 864 national banks expired during the yearending November 1, 1885, of which 801 have been extended under theact of July 12, 1882. Forty-eight have permitted their corporate exist-ence to expire, and are in liquidation under section 7 of said act (32 ofwhich have been succeeded by other banks located in the same places,and with nearly the same shareholders), and 13 have been placed involuntary liquidation by vote of shareholders owning two-thirds of theirstock, of which 7 were succeeded by other banks. The remaining 2became insolvent, and were placed in the hands of receivers. The cor-porate existence of 14 national banks, with an aggregate capital of$4,450,000, will expire during November and December of this year;and the corporate existence of 18 national banks, with an aggregatecapital of $3,135,000, will expire during 1886. Four national banks,with an aggregate capital of $600,000, have failed and been placed inthe hands of receivers during the year.

Under the provisions of the act of July 12, 1882, national banks witha capital of from $50,000 to $150,000 may be organized upon a minimumdeposit of United States bonds equal to 25 per cent, of such capital.The minimum deposit of bonds required by law to be made by bankswith a capital of upwards of $150,000 is $50,000. The following tableshows the number of banks organized from July 1,1882, to July 1,1885,their capital stock, amount of bonds deposited in accordance with law,and the circulation issued thereon:

An examination of the foregoing table shows that 611 banks havebeen organized between the dates above given, with a capital of$61,701,300; that they have deposited $15,125,300 of bonds, upon whichcirculation to the amount of $13,612,770 has been issued. The mini-mum deposit of bonds, as required by law for said banks is $12,232,750,and it will be seen that while the actual deposit has in the aggregateexceeded the minimum, yet this excess has steadily decreased duringthe three years covered by the table. The excess above the requiredminimum of bonds deposited from July, 1882, to July, 1883, was 28 percent, of the total deposit. From July, 1883, to July, 1884, this excesswas 14 per cent, only of the total deposit, and from July, 1884, to July,

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 7

1885, the excess was still further diminished to 8 per cent. This showsconclusively that the banks organized between the periods named havenot been induced to enter the system on account of the profit to be de-rived from the issue of circulating notes, but because it was believed bytheir managers that they would have a better credit and standing withthe public under the national bank act than as State or private banks.

It is also to be noted that the reduction by the act of July 12, 1882,of the minimum amount of bonds to be deposited by national banks of$150,000 capital and under to one-quarter of their capital stock hashad a tendency to increase the organization of small banks throughoutthe country. While the number of banks organized from July 1, 1870,to July 1, 1882, with a capital of $150,000 and under was 232, the num-ber of banks of this class organized from July 1, 1882, to July 1, 1885,was 548, These small banks have in many instances been organized totake the place of private banking firms and small State banks, partic-ularly in the West, Northwest, and Southwest. It is believed that thischange is to the advantage of the public, as the majority of these bankswere previously carrying on a banking business without being subjectto an examination of their affairs, and without the security given by thepublication of sworn statements of their condition, to which supervisionand requirement they will be subject under the national bank act.

Under the present law, the minimum deposit of bonds required to bemade by the 2,714 national banks in operation in the United States onOctober 1, 1885, would be but $80,970,423 in order to continue as na-tional banking associations. A table has been prepared and will befound in the Appendix, showing for the national banks in each State,Territory, and reserve cities, the minimum amount of bonds requiredby law, the bonds actually held, and the circulation issued thereonOctober 1, 1885. This table also shows the increased amount of circu-lation which the national banks might issue in the event of the passageof a law authorizing them to issue circulation equal to the par value ottheir bonds on deposit.

It is believed that the national banking system will be continuedeven if the associations organized under it cannot issue circulation ata profit, inasmuch as the experience under it has shown it is for the bestinterests of the public, as well as of the banks, that this business shouldbe carried on under a general law having effect throughout all the differ-ent States. This statement is made without prejudice to banks organizedunder the statutes of those States which contain provisions and restric-tions similar to those of the national banking law. In many of theStates, however, the banking laws are defective, and it is evident thatthe legislation upon the subject cannot be homogeneous, nor the work-ing of the laws so harmonious and useful under statutes passed bythirty-eight States as under one general law of Congress applicable toall banking institutions.

EXTENSION OF THE CORPORATE EXISTENCE OF NATIONAL BANKS.

The original national currency act of February 25, 1863, providedin section 11 that banks organized under its provisions should havesuccession for a period of not exceeding twenty years from the date ofsaid act, as follows:

Every association formed pursuant to the provisions of this act may make anduse a common seal, and shall have succession by the name designated in its articlesof association, and for the period limited therein, not however exceeding twentyyears from the passage of this act.

8 REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

Under the provisions of this act 488 banks were organized, of which88 had ceased to exist prior to January 1, 1882, leaving 400 still in op-eration on that date. Of these, 314 were extended under the act ofJuly 12,1882, 72 were succeeded by other associations with the same ordifferent names, 12 went out by voluntary liquidation or expiration ofcorporate existence without successors, and 2 were placed in the handsof receivers. The corporate existence of 297 of these banks expired onFebruary 25, 1883, and 270 were then extended 5 while 103 expired pre-vious to that date, of which 44 were extended. ,

The national bank act of June 3, 1864, superseding that of February25,1863, provides in section 8 that each national bank shall have suc-cession for twenty years from the date of its organization, that is, fromthe date of its organization certificate. This section was embodied insection 5136, Kevised Statutes, now in force, which is as follows:

Upon duly making and filing articles of association and an organization certificate,the association shall become as from the date of execution of its organization certifi-cate a body corporate, and as such and in the name designated in the organizationcertificate, it shall have power: First, to adopt and use a corporate seal; second, tohave succession for a period of twenty years from its organization, unless it is soonerdissolved according to the provisions of its articles of association, or by the act of itsshareholders owning two-thirds of its stock, or unless its franchise becomes forfeitedby some violation of law.

Anticipating the fact that a large number of national banks wouldexpire by limitation during the years 1882 and 1883, the Comptroller ofthe Currency, in his annual report for 1881, recommended that an actbe passed providing that any national bank might, with the approvalof the Comptroller, at any time within two years prior to the date ofexpiration of its corporate existence, extend its period of succession fortwenty years by amending its articles of association.

In accordance with this recommendation, a bill was introduced soonafter the assembling of the Forty-seventh Congress, and was referredto the Committee on Banking and Currency, and by that committee re-ported to the House, and after considerable discussion, passed on May30, 2882, by a vote of 125 to 67.*

The bill was amended in the Senate in many particulars, and passedthat body June 22, 1882, by a vote of 34 to 14.t It subsequentlypassed the House July 10,1882, upon a report of conference committee,yeas 110, nays 79, not voting 101,$ and received the approval of thePresident July 12, 1882.

Prior to the passage of this act the right of shareholders of nationalbanks whose corporate existence was about to expire, to organize underthe national bank act new associations with the same names, in or-der to retain as far as possible their business and the prestige of theirnames, which had become known throughout the country, was in doubt,and inasmuch as there was then no statute permitting the extension oftheir corporate existence, the opinion of the Attorney-General was re-quested on this point, and on the 23d of February, 1882, an opinionwas given, in which he said: 1

The present national banking laws do not forbid the stockholders of an expiringcorporation from organizing a new banking association, nor from assuming the nameof the old corporation, with the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency, and inthe absence of any prohibition to that effect, no legal obstacle to the formation of anew association by such stockholders, and the adoption of the name, of the old associ-ation, would in my opinion exist.

EEPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. V

As there was some uncertainty in regard to the passage by Congressof the act for the extension of the corporate existence of national bank-ing associations, fifty banks gave notice of liquidation, and in most in-stances new associations were organized with the same titles and the samestockholders as those which had been placed in liquidation. A provisoattached to section 5 of the act of July 12,1882, requires that in the or-ganization of any banking association, intended to replace any existingbanking association and retaining the name thereof, the holders ofstock in the expiring association shall be entitled to preference in theallotment of the shares of the new association in proportion to the num-ber of shares held by them respectivelv in the expiring association.

Under the act of July 12,1882, nearly all of the banks then in exist-ence which were organized under the act of February 25,1863, extendedtheir corporate existence during the following months:July, 1882 6August, 1882 9September, 1882 7October, 1882 5November, 1882 4December, 1882 7January, 1883 4February, 1883 * 2February 25, 1883 270

Total 314

The whole number of banks organized under the act of June 3, 1864,to the date of the act of July 12,1882, was 2,266, of which 450 had beenclosed, leaving 1,816 in operation on that date. The following tablegives the number of these banks, the original periods of succession ofwhich will terminate during each year from 1886 to 1899 inclusive, withtheir capital and circulation:

On November 1, 1885, 885 banks organized under the act of June 3,1864, had been extended, making, with the 314 extensions of banks or-ganized under the act of February 25,1863, 1,19& associations the cor-porate existence of which has been extended under the act of July 12,1882. In the Appendix will be found a table showing the distributionand capital of these banks by States. During the year ending Novem-ber 1, 1885, the periods of succession of 864 banks organized underthe act of June 3, 1864, terminated. Of these, 801 have already ex-tended their corporate existence, 5 were placed in voluntary liquidation

by the vote of stockholders owning two-thirds of their stock, 15 werepermitted by their stockholders to close at the end of their periods ofsuccession, 4 were placed in the hands of receivers, and 39 were suc-ceeded by other associations with different names but with the sameshareholders, wholly or in part. From November 1 to December 31,1885, 14 banks will expire, all of which have applied in due form forextension.

Among the banks extended during the year were 30 in the city ofNew York, with an aggregate capital of $35,350,000, as well as a largenumber in Boston, Philadelphia, and other principal cities, being someof the largest banking institutions in the United States. It is also in-teresting to note that many of the banks extending during the pastyear were originally organized under the various State laws, and thecontinuation of their existence under the national banking system indi-cates their belief that it is for their best interests to do business underthe general banking laws of the United States.

The number, capital, and circulation of the national banks whoseperiods of succession terminated between November 1, 1884, and No-vember 1, 1885, are shown by the following table, which also indicatesthe number whose corporate existence has been extended, and the num-ber which have expired and have been succeeded by other nationalbanks:

It will be seen from the foregoing statements that a larger number ofnational banks expired by limitation during the year ending November1, 1885, than have or will expire during any other year between thepassage of the act of July 12, 1882, and the year 1900.

The additional labor entailed upon this office by the extension of solarge a number of banks in so short a period of time has been very con-siderable, it being necessary in all instances to carefully examine theoriginal articles of each association as well as the amendments and thesignatures of assent of the shareholders thereto. On account of section6, which provides that new circulating notes shall be issued to eachextended association, duplicate accounts have necessarily been openedupon the books of this office with every extended bank, and in accord-ance with the third section of the act it has been necessary that a specialexamination should be made of each bank to determine its condition, asbefore granting a certificate of approval for extension to any association

EEPOET OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 11

the Comptroller must be satisfied that its capital is UDimpaired and thatit is otherwise in a sound condition.

It appears to be a matter of congratulation to the friends of the na-tional banking system that the associations, the original periods of suc-cession of which have terminated, have up to this time as a rule decidedto continue in business, notwithstanding the fact that very little if anyprofit can be made upon circulation under the present provisions of thelaw and the prevailing high prices of Government securities.

The provisions of the act for the extension of the corporate existenceof national banks in the main appear to be admirably suited for thatpurpose. Those of the first and second sections, which provide that theperiod of succession may be extended by simply amending the articlesof association, by the consent in writing of shareholders owning notless than two-thirds of the capital stock, are simple and easily carriedout by the banks.

Section 3, which provides for a special examination of the associationin order to determine its condition, is also well adapted for the purpose.

That part of section 4 which provides that the extended bank shallcontinue to be in all respects the identical association it was before theextension of its period of succession prevents any break or disturbancein its business, enables the bank to retain its surplus fund, and is espec-ially useful in the matter of any litigation for collection of assets, titleto property, &c.

It would, however, appear that some of the provisions of section 5might be amended with advantage to the public. Said section is asfollows:

SEC. 5. That when any national banking association has amended its articles o*association as provided in this act, and the Comptroller has granted his certificate ofapproval, any shareholder not assenting to such amendment may give notice inwriting to the directors, within thirty days from the date of the certificate of ap-proval, of his desire to withdraw from said association, in which case he shall beentitled to receive from said banking association the value of the shares so held byhim, to be ascertained by an appraisal made by a committee of three persons, one tobe selected by such shareholder, one by the directors, and the third by the first two jand in case the value so fixed shall not be satisfactory to any such shareholder, hemay appeal to the Comptroller of the Currency, who shall cause a reappraisal to bemade, which shall be final and binding; and if said reappraisal shall exceed thevalue fixed by said committee, the bank shall pay the expenses of said reappraisal,and otherwise the appellant shall pay said expenses; and the value so ascertainedand determined shall be deemed to be a debt due, and be forthwith paid, to saidshareholder, from said bank ; and the shares so surrendered and appraised shall,afttr due notice, be sold at public sale, within thirty days after the final appraisalprovided in this section : Provided, That in the organization of any banking associ-ation intended to replace any existing banking association, and retaining the namethereof, the holders of stock in the expiring association shall be entitled to prefer-ence in the allotment of the shares of the new association in proportion to the num-ber of shares held by them respectively in the expiring association.

Provision is thus made to ascertain the value of shares of non-assent-ing shareholders, by an appraisal to be made by a committee of threepersons, one to be selected by the non-assenting shareholder, one by thedirectors, and a third by the first two. But if the bank does not heedthe notice of withdrawal and declines to appoint a person to serve onthe committee of appraisal, there is no penalty for such neglect, andapparently the shareholder's only remedy is by a suit in some court ofcompetent jurisdiction. I therefore conclude that some provision shouldbe made for the enforcement of this section. Provision is also made, incase the value of the shares fixed by the committee of appraisal is not sat-isfactory to the shareholder, that he may appeal to the Comptroller of theCurrency, who shall cause a reappraisal to be made, which shall be final

and binding. No provision is, however, made for an appeal on the partof the bank, where the valuation fixed by the committee is not satisfac-tory to it. I have to recommend, therefore, that the section be amendedto obviate this defect.

Provision is further made that after the appraised value has beenpaid to the shareholder, as provided by law, and the shares surrendered,the same shall, after due notice, be sold at public sale within thirtydays after the final appraisal. It appears that in many cases thirtydays is not sufficient time for the bank to realize a fair price for shareswhich it is thus compelled under the law to purchase, and inasmuch assection 5201 of the Bevised Statutes provides that stock purchased oracquired to prevent loss upon a debt previously contracted in goodfaith may be sold at any time within six months from the date of itspurchase, at public or private sale, it would seem that the law shouldgrant at least as long a period for the sale of the stock which an asso-ciation is compelled to take from a retiring stockholder under the act ofextension, and the Comptroller recommends an amendment to thiseffect.

Section 6, which relates to the circulation of extended associations, isas follows:

SEC. 6. That the circulating notes of any association so extending the period of itssuccession which shall have been issued to it prior to such extension shall be redeemedat the Treasury of the United States, as provided in section three of the act of Junetwentieth, eighteen hundred and seventy-four, entitled "An act fixing the amountof United States notes, providing for redistribution of national-bank currency, andfor other purposes," and such notes when redeemed shall be forwarded to the Comp-troller of the Currency, and destroyed, as now provided by law; and at the end ofthree years from the date of the extension of the corporate existence of each bank theassociation so extended shall deposit lawful money with the Treasurer of the UnitedStates sufficient to redeem the remainder of the circulation which was outstandingat the date of its extension, as provided in sections fifty-two hundred and twenty-two,fifty-two hundred and twenty-four, and fifty-two hundred and twenty-five of the Re-vised Statutes; and any gain that may arise from the failure to present such circulat-ing notes for redemption shall inure to the benefit of the United States; and fromtime to time, as such notes are redeemed or lawful money deposited therefor as pro-vided herein, new circulating notes shall be issued as provided by this act, bearingsuch devices, to be approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, as shall make themreadily distinguishable from the circulating notes heretofore issued : Provided, however,That each banking association which shall obtain the benefit of this act shall reim-burse to the Treasury the cost of preparing the plate or plates for such new circulat-ing notes as shall be issued to it.

It is respectfully submitted that more than three years should begranted within which to deposit lawful money to retire the remainderof the circulation outstanding at the date of extension. If this periodshould be extended to six years the necessary deposit would then becomparatively small. In the natural course of redemption the outstand-ing circulation of old design of extended associations is constantly beingdecreased, as all such notes redeemed are retired without regard to theirfitness for circulation, notes of a new design, as provided by law, beingissued in their place. See tables, pages 114,115.

Upon reference to a statement heretofore made of the extension ofthe corporate existence of national banks organized under the act ofFebruary 25, 1863, it will be noticed that 270 banks, with a circulationof $47,997,430, were extended on February 25, 1883, and therefore law-ful money must be deposited under section 6 within thirty days fromFebruary 25,1886, to retire such portion of this circulation as then re-mains outstanding. From the redemptions of this circulation made inregular course, it has for some time been evident to the Comptrollerthat the amount of the final deposit required by this law to be made in

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 13

lawful money during the thirty days succeeding February 25, 1886,would be very large, and that this deposit of lawful money within soshort a period would perhaps occasion some temporary disturbance atmoney centers, particularly as some time would necessarily elapse be-fore new circulation to replace that retired could be issued by the banks.

In this connection I desire to call attention to a portion of section 9,which provides that in the aggregate not more than three million dol-lars of lawful money shall be deposited by national associations duringany calendar month in order to withdraw their circulating notes, exceptwhen bonds owned by the association shall be called for redemption by theSecretary of the Treasury. It does not appear that lawful money de-posits made under section 6 are exempted from the provisions of section9 referred to, and inasmuch as the deposits under section 6 may attimes exceed $3,000,000 in any one month, there is an apparent conflictin the act. I therefore recommend that the time of deposit be extended.I also recommend that section 9 be so amended that its provisions shallnot apply to the deposit of lawful money by extended associations.

In anticipation of the difficulty which might arise after February 25,1886, from the apparent conflict of law referred to, and from.the largedeposit of lawful money, which, if not made before, would, by the law,be required to be made within thirty days following that date, theComptroller, early in the present year, began to advise national bankswhich would be required by section 6 to make deposits of lawful moneyon or before March 25, 1886, in order to prevent, if possible, any dis-turbance, to make such deposits in advance, in sums of $10,000 ormultiples thereof, extending them over a period of some months. Thesebanks were also advised to order in advance the preparation of notesof new design, that they might be in readiness to be issued to replacethe circulation retired by the deposit of lawful money under section 6.Early in August a printed circular letter embodying this advice wassent to all the national banks interested. Many of the banks so ad-dressed have responded, and it is believed that the action of this officehas had an excellent effect, and that the amount of lawful money to bedeposited within thirty days after February 25, 1886, will be much lessthan if this action had not been taken.

If the only object of section 6 is to enable the United States to gainthe benefit from lost or destroyed notes, this object might have beenaccomplished by simple enactment to this effect, without the expenseof the issuance of new notes and the deposit of lawful money. ~~

The extension of the franchises of expiring associations for the solepurpose of liquidating their affairs until closed, as provided for in sec-tion 7, appears to answer its purpose.

The remaining sections of the act are for purposes other than theextension of the corporate existence of national banks, and it is notnecessary in this connection to make any statement in regard to theirprovisions.

At this date but two reappraisals have been made of the stock ofnon-assenting shareholders, under section five, by the Comptroller ofthe Currency.

CIRCULATION.

Notwithstanding the fact that 145 new banks were organized duringthe past year, with a capital of $16,938,000, depositing $4,959,300 ofbonds as security for circulating notes, the aggregate of bonds on de-posit for that purpose has diminished from $325,316,300 to $308,364,550.

By reference to this table it will be seen that the aggregate reduc-tion of bonds deposited for the year ending November 1, 1885, was$16,951,750. The changes were as follows: An increase of $^6,000 inPacific currency sixes and of $9,800 in the amount of four-and-a-halfper cents deposited, a reduction of $313,800 in the amount of four percents held, and a reduction of $16,683,750 in the amount of three percents held, payable at the option of the Government.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 15

It will be seen that the banks held on November 1,1884, $155,604,400,and on November 1,1885, $138,920,650, of three per cents under the actof July 12,1882, payable at the pleasure of the Government. The Sec-retary of the Treasury, during the year ending November 1, 1883, paid$105,634,150, and during the year ending November 1,1884, $105,970,450of the public debt. In the latter year three per cents only were called.No bonds were called for the year ending November 1, 1885. Reason-ing upon the theory that the public debt would, during the year endingNovember 1, 1885, continue to be reduced by the payment of three percent, bonds, and that this reduction would occasion the reinvestment oftrust and other funds invested in threes, and cause a greater demand forand consequent increase in the price of four percent, bonds to a point atwhich it would be more profitable for the national banks to sell them,the Comptroller estimated in his last annual report to Congress, thatunless legislation should be secured enabling the banks to issue cur-rency at a fair profit, circulation would be reduced at the rate of at least$40,000,000 per annum. It is believed that this estimate would havebeen substantially correct had the Government continued during 1885to call and pay the three per cent, bonds as rapidly as during the twoprevious years.

The reduction of circulation of national banks during the year endingNovember 1, 1885, for reasons other than the call of bonds by which itwas secured, was greater than anticipated. The causes which have ledto this result are small profit remaining to national banks on circulationafter paying the tax of 1 per cent, per annum imposed by the Govern-ment; reduction in the rates of interest throughout the country, occa-sioned by the abundance of money in the financial centers; and, doubt-less, uneasiness among certain of the bankers of the country as to theoutcome of the iucrease of silver in the Treasury, such increase indi-cating that possibly the interest on the public debt, and even someportion of the principal, might be paid in standard silver dollars, andthat Government bonds might thereb5T become depreciated in foreignmarkets, which would undoubtedly affect their price in this country.The credit and standing of this country is deservedly high, and it isnot believed that the people desire either the principal or interest onthe bonded debt of this country to be paid in anything but gold coinor its equivalent. This matter was discussed at the time the bondswere issued, during the period of the refunding of the debt, and thepreparations for the resumption of specie payments, and the convictionis general that the faith and credit of this Government is pledged forthe payment of its securities in gold coin or its equivalent.

The Comptroller in his last annual report made the following state-ment:

The time of the final payment of the debt is, however, yet distant, and withappropriate legislation there will probably be for many years no lack of bonds as asafe basis of circulation. Moreover, no feasible plan with other security has as yetbeen suggested, affording a sound currency redeemable on demand in specie, and theComptroller believes that it is extremely doubtful whether, after the experience ofthe last twenty years, the people would be satisfied with a currency based on anysecurity other thai United States bonds.

Public sentiment seems to be in favor of the payment of the public debt as rapidlyas possible, and while no doubt this is in general a correct principle, yet as it isapparent that such payment must extend under the most favorable circumstancesover a long future period, the interest during which time is as much a portion of thedebt as the principal, it is a question if it would not be of ultimate benefit to thecountry and a payment of the debt to reduce the interest upon it to a minimum rateand defer the payment of the principal, thus giving for many years a safe basis* fornational-bank circulation. This course would be particularly advantageous if the

16 REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF TitE CURRENCY.

revenues of the Government are hereafter reduced to a point which,after providingsufficient means for carrying on public business, will necessitate a more gradualreduction of the principal of the debt.

The measures introduced in the Senate and House of Kepresentativesduring the last session of Congress to enable national banking associa-tions to issue circulation to the par value of the bonds deposited, andfor the funding of the high-rate bonds of the United States into bondsbearing a lower rate of interest, did not become laws, the law taxingcirculation was not repealed, and no legislation whatever in relation tothe national banks or the refunding of the public debt was enacted.

Unless some measures be taken whereby the banks may be enabledto issue circulation at a reasonable profit to themselves, the contractionof national-bank notes will continue. The profit on circulation may beincreased by the removal of the tax and by increasing the amount ofcurrency issued to the par value of the United States bonds deposited;and the Comptroller again respectfully recommends appropriate legis-lation for that purpose. Even if this be done, the national bank-notecirculation is still liable to reduction and final disappearance with thereduction and final payment of the debt of the United States.

Upon examining the various methods of issuing bank notes, adoptedin other countries, and which are described elsewhere in the report, itwill be seen that a large proportion of the issue of notes under the laws ofthe different Governments are based upon the credit of the banks—thatis to say, they are issued against the general assets of the various insti-tutions, and are not, as a rule, secured by special deposits or securitiesheld in trust, or by coin or bullion set apart specially for the protectionof the note-holder.

Irresponsible and illegitimate issues of bank notes have been commonto almost all civilized countries, and financial disturbances have againand again resulted from such issues, notwithstanding the attemptswhich have been made by many different Governments to correct theabuse.

Bank notes, which circulate as money among the people, should eitherbe well secured by special deposit of valuable assets in trust, or theyshould be issued only by corporations whose assets and managementare of such a character as to insure the payment of the notes, and thosecorporations should be compelled by law to carry a sufficient reserve inthe coin of the country for their prompt redemption. Under these cir-cumstances only are bank notes entitled to the confidence of the pub-lic. It is, of course, not to be expected that corporations or privatebankers will issue bank notes, if the law requires them to be based uponthe security of any form of debt and at the same time requires that anamount of coin or bullion equal to the notes issued shall be held by theissuing association for their redemption. There would be absolute losson such an issue. But as long as a bank note is payable on demand bythe issuer thereof, and the public are assured that it rests upon a stablefoundation of security, either deposited in trust or vested in the issuerin such a manner as to secure its ultimate payment, and as long as saidnote is protected by a reserve in proportion to the ordinary demands forcoin when needed for dealings with foreign countries or the naturalwants of trade, the public will use it as money on account of its greaterconvenience.

It being conceded that bank notes based upon coin or bullion will notbe issued in sufficient quantities for the convenience of the public, banksshould be permitted to issue notes upon other securities for the con-

venience of trade and commerce. The debt of a strong Government is,next to coin or bullion, the most available for this purpose, and in thiscountry up to this time the debt has supplied a safe and satisfactorybasis for bank notes, but in view of the anticipated payment of thepublic debt it becomes a question of interest how far bank notes cansafely be issued without other security than the general assets andcredit of the banks. If tln> liability of shareholders on account of notesissued is increased, and note-hold TS are preferred as against all othercreditors, circulating notes might perhaps be issued by joint stockbanks, under an improved safety fund system to a certain percentageof their capital, unsecured by a deposit of bonds.

My predecessor, Mr. Kuox, in his report for 1883 said:Experience has sliown that if instead of ninety dollars upon each one hundred

dollars of bonds, one hundred dollars of circulating notes had been issued uponevery seventy dollars of United States bonds deposited, there would nor, have been anyloss to the Government, or to the holders of the circulating notes of any of the nationalbanks which have failed during the last twenty years ; but- that there might havebeen an additional loss to the depositors, depending upon the ch tractor of the assetsheld in place of the portion of bonds which on this supposition would have been re-leased. If circulation had been issued to these insolvent banks, which had a capitalof about twenty millions, to the amount of their capital, the value of the bonds beingthe same, and there had been just previous to failure a decline in the market of 5 percent, upon the value of the bonds, the losses w-»uld not have exceede I one million ofdollars. These possible losses would have fallen upon the holders of the notes of suchfew banks only as became insolvent, or upon the creditors of these banks or the Gov-ernment; and if the gain arising from lost notes could have been used as proposed,these possible losses would have be n provided for.

He proposed that a safety fund should be accumulated, '1) from thegain arising from the accidental loss or destruction of the circulatingnotes of national banks; (2) from the tax upon circulation; and (3)from interest to be derived at a low rate upon the fund on deposit inthe Treasury for the purpose of redeeming the notes of national b inksretiring circulation, which now amounts to more than thirty nine milliondollars.

The amount available for a safety fund from the first source is esti-mated now to be not less than six million dollars, and the amount de-rived from the tax of 1 per cent, per annum on circulation during theyear 1884 was more than three millions. Even if this tax for safetyfund purposes should be fixed at one half per cent., in the course ofthree years a safety fund would be in hand amounting to more thanten millions of dollars.

The results of the liquidation of 104 national banks which have failed,and the affairs of which have been liquidated or are in process of liqui-da'ion by receivers under the direction of this office, show in a veryinteresting manner to what extent it may be safe to permit banks underthe national system to issue circulation unprotected by a deposit ofUnited States bonds. Of these 104 banks, 70 have been finally closed,and for them the results are absolute. The remaining 34 are. stillin process of liquidation, but have progressed so far that the final re-sult can be estimated with comparative accuracy.

The dividends paid to the creditors of all these banks from the pro-ceeds of their general assets amount to $2^,379,080. They had an ag-gregate capital of $J1,858,900, upon which under the law they could, ondeposit ot bonds, issue 90 per cent., or $L9.G73,O1O of circulation, [f atthe time of their failure the law had permitted an issue of circulationto the amount of 90 per cent, of capital, unsecured e.ccept by a first lienon general assets of the 104 banks mentioned, the note-holders of 5S wouldhave experienced no loss. If the law had authorized an unsecured issue

equal to 70 per cent, of capital, the notes of 71 of these banks wouldhave been redeemed from the proceeds of their general assets. At 40per cent., the notes of 90 would have been paid in full, and upon anunsecured issue of 25 per cent, of capital.* loss to note holders wouldhave occurred in the case of live banks only, or about $02,000 in all.

The experience with these 104 banks shows almost conclusively that iftheir issues to the amount of 65 per cent, of their capital had beensecured by a deposit of bonds to an equal amount, the remaining 25per cent, might have been issued without other security than a iirsfclien on the general assets, and if a safety fund had been in existence itwould in the case cited have been drawn upon to the extent ot $62,000only upon a circulation amounting to $5,464,700. For a beginning, there-fore, it might be safe to authorize banks to issue circulation amountingto 90 per cent, of their capital, 70 per cent, to be secured by an equalamount of United States bonds at par value, the remaining 20 per cent,being i!*siied without other security than a first lien on such assets.But if the law should provide for the accumulation of a safety fundin the manner suggested, then as such safety fund increased, the per-centage of circulation unsecured by bonds might be increased, as thediminution of the public debt might require aiid the safety fund war-rant.

Such legislation would have the effect of maintaining bank-note cir-culation, and prevent its being superseded by Government issues, whichan authority as high as Alexander Hamilton has said uare of a natureso liable to abuse, and it may even be affirmed so certain of beingabused, that the wisdom of the Government will be shown in nevertrusting itself with the use of so seducing and dangerous an experi-ment."

While the bank-note circulation of this country is steadily decreasing,there has been no reduction in the total circulating medium in theUnited States, the reduction in tin ua-tional-bank currency outstandinghaving been more than met by the coinage of the standard silver dollarand the issuance of certificates thereon.

The number of silver dollars coined under the provisions of the actof February 28, 1878, amounted to $213,259,43L on November 1, 1885,of which $163,817,342 remained in the Treasury of the United States,while $49,442,089 were in circulation on that date.

Under section 3 of the act mentioned above, silver certificates havebeen issued, which are represented by standard silver dollars in theTreasury of the United States, to the amount of $125,053,286. Of thesilver certificates so issued $31,906,514 remain in the Treasury of theUnited States, leaving $93,146,772 ot these certificates in circulation on[November 1, 1885. Through the operation of the act to authorize thecoinage of the standard silver dollar and to restore its legal-tender char-acter, the circulating medium if sued by the Government of the UnitedStates has been increased in the sum of $213,259,431, of which $49,442,089in standard silver dollars are in the hands of the people, and $70,670,570of like coins are in the Treasury of the United States, in addition to$93,146,772 of said standaid dollars which are represented by silvercertificates in the hands of the people, and which can be converted into

standard dollars at the pleasure of the holder, and are receivable forcustoms, taxes, and all public debts.

Under section 12 of the act of July 12, 1882, said certificates, whenheld by any national banking association, are to be counted as a part ofits lawful reserve, and national banks are forbidden to be members ofany clearing-house in which said certificates shall not be receivable inthe settlement of clearing-house balances. These certificates are re-deemable in silver dollars, but have no legal-tender quality betweenindividuals or between banks, although national banks are compelledto accept them in settlement of clearing-house balances. It hardlyseems just or equitable that national banks should be compelled toreceive these certificates under these conditions, when banks organizedunder State laws, and private individuals, are not compelled to receivethem when tendered.

The Comptroller in his last report to Congress stated that he believedthe operation of the present law, which compels the coinage of twomillion standard silver dollars per mouth, weighing only 412^ grainseach, with unlimited legal tender quality, would eventually bring finan-cial disturbance upon the country, and he is still of the same opinion.

Referring to silver certificates, the following suggestions were alsomade in the Comptroller's last report:

If it is for the best interests of the United States to issue a circulation based upon,silver, the Comptroller believes that the circulation should be issued upon coiu orbullion which contains a sufficient number of grains of silver to have an intrinsicvalue equal in the markets of the world to its nominal value; and that under certainrestrictions and regulations it would be far more correct in principle to issue silvercertificates based upon a deposit of silver bullion, to be valued in the exact proportionof silver to gold, than to continue the issue of certificates under the present law.

These reflections are upon the theory, held by many, that it is for the best interestsof this country to maintain a circulation based upon silver. The Comptroller doubtsthe correctness of this theory, but it is submitted that the circulationnow outstand-ing based on silver is a depreciated currency, by the issue of which the Governmenthas gained at the expense of the people who now hold the silver dollars aud certifi-cates, and that therefore it is incumbent on the Government, if it continues to issuecirculation based upon silver, to do so under a plan which will not only provide asound circulation for the future, but also prevent the holders of the present certifi-cates and dollars from sustaining loss.

As the silver question is more unsettled than it was at the time theforegoing was written, not only in the United States but elsewhere, itseems doubtful if this Government should attempt to issue a circulationbased upon silver, even at its bullion value, until the relative value ofthis metal is more definitely settled throughout the world. The discon-tinuance of the coinage of the silver dollar by our Government mightperhaps have a tendency to bring about some agreement with othernations, and the fixing of a standard for a series of years; it is howeverevident that the coinage of the standard silver dollar under the presentlaw is in excess of the requirements of the country, and should be dis-continued. If we continue to add these dollars to our circulating me-dium, and they continue to accumulate in the Treasury, the Governmentmust of necessity pay some portion of its obligations iu that coin; andif the Government should pay its interest and other obligations andredeem its bonds in standard dollars, the business of the country wouldimmediately go to a silver basis. What effect this would have it isdifficult to predict. It would appear, however, that gold would go toa premium, which would compel its being held, to a certain extent, asan article of merchandise, and it would not circulate as money. Tniswould probably occasion contraction in credits and financial disturb-ance. The effect upon the legal-tender notes, which by the terms of

section 12 of the act of July 12, 1882, appear to be redeemable in gold,cannot well be foreseen, but it would be difficult for the Government withits present stock of gold to redeem the outstanding legal-tender notes,or such portion of them as might be presented, if gold was held at apremium. Inasmuch as the national-bank notes are redeemable inlegal tender notes, their position would be determined by the status ofthe latter.

The substitution of standard silver dollars and silver certificates basedthereon, in place of bank notes, which is taking place under the pro-visions of law now in force, evidently requires consideration and appro-priate legislation.

BANK-NOTE ISSUES OF OTHER COUNTRIES.

Macleod, in his exhaustive work on the Theory and Practice of Bank-ing, states that—

"The circulating medium of any country is—(1) Coined money—gold, silver, and copper.(2) Paper currency, viz, promissory notes and bills of exchange, with all their

variety.(3) Small debts of all sorts, such as credits in bankers' books, called deposits, book

debts of traders, and private debts between individuals."

Bank notes come clearly within the second classification, and aremerely promises on the part of the bank to pay on demand a sum ofmoney. Unless otherwise provided for, this sum is payable in the coinedmoney of the country where the note is issued. The metallic money inwhich the note is redeemable on demand is that issued by the govern-ment of the country or State, and authenticated as to weight and fine-ness by its mints.

In the earlier days of banking, promissory notes of joint-stock banks,private bankers, and merchants were all on the same footing as inlandbills of exchange, that is to say, they were all transferable by indorse-ment. Under the present system of issuing bank notes, payable on de-mand to bearer, they pass in ordinary business transactions from handto hand as a circulating medium in the same manner as coined money.

The commercial transactions of the world have grown to be so enor-mous, and the use of bank notes therein so universal, that most Govern-ments, recognizing thenecessityof making the security for fulfillmentof these promises as substantial as possible, have enacted laws wherebythey are issued under certain restrictions and regulations, in order thatthe public, many of whom are unable to discriminate between the dif-ferent issues of the banks, may not suffer loss by receiving what is sup-posed to be an equivalent of money. Either securities are requiredto be deposited in trust, as under the national bank system, or setaside and held in the bank, as in the case of the Bank of England,or the issues are regulated by the condition of the assets, the amount ofcapital paid in, and the amount of coin on hand. Very often the lawprovides that the circulating notes shall be a first lien upon all the as-sets of the bank, aud sometimes a direct guarantee of payment of banknotes is given under conditions by the Government.

Since the passage of the national currency act in 1863, the entireMink-note circulation of the United States has been secured by a de-

posit of Government bonds with the Treasurer of the United States,and owing to the care with which this precaution has been exercised thegeneral public scarcely realize that these notes are simply promises re-deemable on demand, and not money.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 21

As at some time in the future the redemption and payment of thepublic debt of the United States will probably make it necessary toissue bank notes upon the basis of some other security, it will be usefulto examine the various methods of issuing and securing bank notesunder the laws of the principal commercial nations of the world, inorder that the experience of other countries may be made available forthe welfare of our own. A system which is successful in one countryor nation may not be adapted to other countries, but from the experi-ence of all, valuable deductions may be drawn.*

ENGLAND.

Bank-note circulation in England is regulated by the act of Parlia-ment of 1844, which provides for the issuance by the Bank of England of£14,000,000 of bank notes through an issue department, to which was tobe transferred £14,000,000 in Government securities, and also that thebanks of issue, consisting of joint-stock and private banks other than theBank of England, in existence at the date of the act, should not there-after be permitted to issue notes except to the amount they then had incirculation, issued by them and outstanding. In other words, the actualcirculation to which each of these banks was to be entitled under the act,was to be arrived at by taking the average amount of circulation in eachcase for twelve weeks prior to April 27 of that year, and under thisregulation the maximum issue by provincial banks—that is, banks inEngland outside of London, not including those of Scotland or Ireland—was then fixed at about eight and three-quarters million pounds. Undercertain conditions these banks of issue which were in existence in May,1844, might cede their privilege of circulation to the Bank of Englandfor a fixed consideration of 1 per cent, per annum to August 1, 1S5(>, andthe privilege of issue of any of these batiks w.as forfeited in case of failureto exercise it, of bankruptcy, or certain changes in the constitution oftheir partnerships. The Bank of England was authorized to issue itsown notes for the full amount of the circulation of other banks com-pounded for, and by order of Grown in council, to two-thirds of theamount of lapsed circulation.

The total amount of issues lapsed or compounded for since 1844 bythe country banks is about two and three quarters million pounds, leav-ing the present authorized circulation of such banks at about six million pounds, or $30,000,000. It is estimated that the actual circulationof these English provincial banks, that is of the banks other than theBank of England, having privilege of issue, is but four per cent, of theirentire liability to the public. By the issue of its own notes in place ofthe lapsed and surrendered circulation mentioned, the circulation of thethe Bank of England, based on Government securities, has been increased

from £14,000,000 to over £15,000,000. The circulation of the joint-stock and private banks of issue of England is based entirely upontheir -general credit; that is to say, it is not based upon securities orbullion specially deposited or held as in the case of the Bank of Eng-land, but upon the aggregate assets of the institutions. These banksmake weekly returns of their outstanding circulation to. the Govern-ment, from which it appears that not more than one-half of the notesthey are authorized to issue are in actual circulation. The total amountof notes of the Bank of England, issued on the security of the Govern-ment debt, is at this time £15,750,000 or about $78,750,000. Thisbank, in addition, is permitted to issue notes equal in amount to thebullion or coin which is transferred to and held in the vaults of theissue department of said bank. Of the coin and bullion held, 25 percent, may consist of silver. It is to be noted, however, that very sel-dom is any circulation of the bank issued upon silver.

The Bank of England is compelled to receive from any person ten-dering it, bullion in exchange for notes at the rate oi £3,17s. and 9d. perounce of gold 11-liJ fine. Under these provisions the amount in banknotes issued varies from time to time by the receipt or withdrawal ofgold. The only tax paid by the bank against its issue of circulation isfor the privilege of issuing £15,750,000 against securities of the Govern-ment, and for this privilege and the exemption from stamp duty thebank pays to the Government an annual sum of about £li00,000.#

Bank of England notes were, by the third section of the act of Par-liament of 1833, made legal tender between all parties, except where thebank itself is one, so long, and so long only, as the bank pays them ingold coin on demand.

The act of 1844 declares that the notes of the Bank of England incirculation, including those held by the banking department, shall bedeemed to be issued on the credit of such securities (coin and bullion)so appropriated and set apart to the said issue department.

Although the act of 1844 only permits the issue of Bank of Englandnotes under the present situation of country bank issues to the amountof £15,750,000, except on a deposit of coin or bullion, during the crisisof 1857 and in 1866 this statutory provision WHS suspended and the

bank was permitted further issue of notes in order to supply a circu-lating medium to avert financial trouble and distress, and it is believedby many that this course would be pursued again if occasion de-manded it.

SCOTLAND AND IRELAND.

By the act of Parliament of 1845, the privilege of issuing notes on thepart of the existing banks in Scotland and Ireland on their own accountwas continued to the amouut of their outstanding circulation. Theprivilege of additional issue is granted to these banks upon the basis ofgold coin or bullion to the nominal or par value of the notes issued, andin this respect they have the advantage of the English provincial banks.By the terms of the acts under which Knglish. Scotch, and Irish bankswere permitted to continue their issue of circulation, unsecured by adeposit of gold or bullion, the liabilities of the individual shareholdersof said banks to the general public were unlimited so far as the bank-note circulation was concerned. It seems to be the opinion of all au-thorities who have examined the subject that Scotch and Irish bankshave no securities especially held against their issues.

From information communicated to the State Department by theminister of the United States to Great Britain, it appears thar theamount of bank notes outstanding in Scotland and Ireland on Decem-ber 31, 1834:, was—Scotland £6,399,310Ireland 6,748,027

The general banking act of Canada was passed in 1871, and has sincebeen amended in many particulars. Its effect has been to bring underone uniform system of restrictions and privileges all of the charteredbanks in the Dominion, with the exception of a few banks, which, priorto the passage of the general banking act, had been working underspecial charters. Some of these banks were permitted to retain certainspecial privileges, which they held under their old charters.

Under the general banking law of Canada none but chartered banksare permitted to issue notes. The bank notes of a bank outstanding atany one time must never exceed its unimpaired paid-up capital. Monthlyreturns of the condition of each bank are made to the Government, andif these reports show excessive issues, tines are imposed as follows: $100for an excess of $20,000 or less; $1,000 for an excess between twentyand one hundred thousand dollars; $5,000 for an excess between onehundred and two hundred thousand dollars; and for an excessive issueof over $200,000 a line of $10,000 is exacted. There is, therefore, someinducement to make small over issue in stringent times, as the compara-tively light penalty might be offset by the profit, while excessive andrash overissues are restrained by penalties virtually prohibitory.

notes can be issued by the banks for less than $5, nor for any denomina-tion except $5 or some multiple thereof.

In case of insolvency, the notes are a first charge upon all the assetsof the bank. There appears to be no special security whatever. Theshareholders are, however, liable, first, for any amount not paid up ontheir subscribed stock, and, second, for a further amount equal to theirsubscribed stock. Suspension of payments in gold or Dominion notesfor ninety days constitutes insolvency. The directors may, after pay-ment of notes has been suspended six months, call on the stockholderswithout regard to assets on hand. i

No particular amount of cash reserve is required, this apparently be-ing left to the judgment and discretion of the management; but of thecash reserve kept, one half, if practicable, and never less than 40 percent., must be in Dominion notes.

The banks may have branches and offices, and notes may be issuedand made payable at any of them, but each bank must receive its ownnotes at any of its different branches or offices, although they need notredeem them in gold or Dominion notes except at the place where thenotes are payable. Banks are required to make not less than $60 ofany one payment in Dominion notes of denominations of one, two, andfour dollars, if so requestel.

The Dominion notes mentioned are notes of the Government. Thefirst idea in regard to them appears to have been to have them supplantthe use of bank notes, as the first act in regard to Dominion notes wasent tied "An act to enable banks in any part of Canada to use notesof the Dominion instead of issuing notes of their own." This act waspassed in 1808, but was radically amended in 1870. The act of 1870authorized the issue of these notes on the security of debentures of theDominion and specie held for the redemption of the notes by the re-ceiver-general. The portion of specie held was to be not less than 20per cent. The first amount authorized was $5,000,000, but this mightbe increased by order in council under certain conditions to $9,000,000,the ecurity for redemption being the same. Debentures or stock wereauthorized to be issued and delivered to the receiver general, to enablehim to keep there-quired security for the notes issued. To keep the neces-sary proportion of specie, l his officer was authorized to dispose of deben-tures. If Dominion notes in excess of the amount authorized were atany time outstanding, the receiver general was required to hold specieto the full extent of this excess in addition to the required security forthe authorized issues.

The latest act (1880) permits an increase, wheu authorized by orderof council, to a sum not exceeding $20,000,0»K). This act fixes thesecurity to be held, at 25 per cent, in specie and Dominion securitiesguaranteed by the Government in England (not less than 15 percent., however, to be in specie), and 75 per cent, in Dominion de-bentures authorized by Parliament. The whole amount outstanding*on August 31,1885, was $17,469,380.83. Of this, over $6,000,000 werein denominations of less than $5, and over $10,700,000 in denominationsof $500 and $ 1,000. The notes are issued in fractional parts of a dollar,and in denominations of $1, $2, $L, $5? $10, $20, $50, $100, $500, and$1,000.

The banks of Canada held on August 31, 1885, $6,823,000 in specieand $12,421 270 in Dominion notes, while at the same (late the receiver-general held $3,989,767 in specie as against. $17,469,380 Dominion notesoutstanding.

ENGLISH AUSTRALASIAN COLONIES.

Banking in Australasia is carried on under the Scotch system, andthe only security for circulating notes issued consists of the generalassets of the banks. The Australasian banks, however, hold in bullionand specie a larger reserve against their liabilities, including circula-tion, than is the case in Scotland or England.

In 1840 the council of New South Wales passed an act requiring fromall banks of issue a quarterly statement. The other colonies, as theywere established, adopted the same law. An article by Nathaniel Corkrin the thirty-seventh volume of the Journal of the London StatisticalSociety for March, 1874, gives valuable information regarding bankingin Australasia and statistics compiled from the quarterly statements, fromwhich it appears that the outstanding bank-note circulation in 1872-'73of the banks of issue in the colonies of New South Wales, Queensland,New Zealand, South Australia, and Tasmania was £3,410,000. The coinreserve held was over 25 per cent, on all liab lities.

A curious fact connected with the bank-note circulation of the colo-nies, especially that of Victoria and New South Wales, is the large pro-portion of £1 notes issued, being 57.2 per cent, of the whole issue inthe former and 50.99 per cent, in the latter. It appears that the prof-its on this circulation are not large, as taxes are imposed on the noteissues in circulation in all the colonies excepting South Australia andWestern Australia. Edwin Brett, in his article on the history ot bank-ing in Australasia, read before the Bankers' Institute, London, October18, 1882, states the rate of taxation in Queensland to be 3 per cent, andin the other colonies to be 2 per cent, per annum. He also calls atten-tion to the fact that although Australasia is a land of gold, and twobranches of the royal mint are actively engaged in converting the pre-cious metals into coin, bank notes still constitute the chief circulatingmedium in all the colonies.

It appears from the June, 1885, number of the Australasian Insuranceand Banking Record, published at Melbourne, that banking in theAustralasian colonies has been much extended since 1873, but that theincrease in note circulation has been moderate compared with the generalincrease in the banking business.

A bill was introduced in the New Zealand Parliament, in 1885, pro-viding that bank notes issued in that colony should be a first chargeupon the assets, within the colony,of the issuing bank. From appear-ances, this bill is likely to become a law.

FRANCE.

Bank notes are issued only by the Bank of France, it having in 1848absorbed all previously existing issues and become the sole issuingbank in France, with branches in the principal towns. The issue ofnotes of the Bank of France is controlled by the council or directory,who are compelled to report to the Government from time to time. TheGovernment, however, does not appear to interfere with the bank is-sue, except to see that the legal powers conferred in its charter arenot violated. At times, however, the Government has guaranteed orsecured a temporary or excessive issue. The notes of the Bank ofFrance are therefore based upon the security of the general assets ofthe bank, which are at times re-enforced by a loan on the part of theGovernment of its credit.

The Paris correspondent of the London Economist of June 28, 1879yholds that there is no limitation of the circulation of the bank by its

statutes. During the times that specie payments have been suspended,and when the Government has permitted the issue of unconvertible notesor forced currency, a limit is always fixed to such issue.

From information communicated to the State Department by the min-ister of the United States to France, it appears that notes of the Bankof France are legal tender, and are redeemable at sight, either in goldor silver five-franc coins, at the option of the bank (silver coins ofsmaller denominations being legal tender only to the extent of 50 francs).

On October 1, 1885, as shown by the returns of the Bank of France,the notes in circulation amounted to 2,78(3,051,930 francs, the bank hold-ing at that time cash amounting to 2,265,030,853 francs, of which1,162,987,434 francs was gold and 1,102,649,419 francs silver.

GERMANY.

On the 30th of January, 1875, the existing banking law was passed,and the Imperial or lleichsbank was established. By thisact it appearsthat the Reichsbank, so far as its issue of notes is concerned, takes, tosome extent, in Germany, the place that the Bank of Eng and occupiedupon the passage of Peel's act of 1844. JJnder the present bauking actof the German Empire, seventeen of the banks in existence on the 30thof January, 1875, were permitted to continue their issue of notes to theaggregate amount of about $27,000,000. In the apportionment of cir-culation between the lieichsbank, or Imperial Bank of Germany, andthe other banks of issue, about $62,000,000 was alloted to the ImperialBank, and to this was added certain issues of fifteen other banks whichhad forfeited their right of issue by lapse of charter, voluntary renunci-ation of the right of issue, or by decision of the Government. Underthepresent act, banks other than the Eeichsbank issuing notes in excess ofthe limit prescribed, except when protected by casli security, are com-pelled to pay an annual tax of iive per cent, on such excess. The amountof notes free of duty; that is, not incurring this five per cent, tax, isquoted every week in the German papers. The Imperial Bank ap-pears to have the right of unlimited issue under the control of theImperial Debt Commissioners, and under the present act has practicallythe control of the issuance of bank notes throughout the Empire. Thesingular provision in regard to the annual tax of five per cent, on cir-culation, issued in excess of securities deposited, is, no doubt, mteudedto permit additional issues in times of financial distress. How far thisexpedient will meet the end for which it is evidently intended, hasnever, it is believed, been practically tested. The Imperial Bank is com-pelled to hold an amount equal to at least one-third of all its issues inGerman coin, imperial legal tender notes, gold bars or foreign coin; theremaining two-thirds of its issues must be represented by discountedbills having not more than thr^e months to run.

The exclusive right of note issue of the Empire of Austria was con-ferred on the Austro-Hungarian Bank, with a charter extending fromthe 1st of July, 1878, to the 31st of December, 1887. This bank was theoutgrowth of the forced currency of the Austrian Empire, Austria hav-ing contracted liabilities to the national bank, prior to 1878, in theamount ot $40,000,000.

The notes of the Austro-Hungarian Bank are redeemable in the coinof the realm, at its two heal offices in Vieuna and Budapest, and incasenotes are not so redeemed within twenty-four hours after demand the

bank forfeits its charter. The bank is authorized to issue $100,000,000of notes without security being deposited in trust, but is compelled tomaintain sufficient reserve to meet demands under the penalty abovestated. The bank also has the privilege of issuing additional circula-tion upon the security of gold or silver bullion, and also appears to bepermitted to issue notes against miscellaneous security. The exclusiveprivileges granted the bank seem to be compensated for by its relations tothe Empire. It is compelled at all times to buy the mint pound of silver,coin or bullion, with 45 florins in bank notes, and forward this bullionfor coinage. It must also furnish notes of such denominations as aredesired by the public in exchange for other denominations of its issue.It is compelled to accept the Government issues of currency as money,these issues forming a debt of the country similar to our legal-tendernotes. The bank, however, has the right to issue its own notes on thesecurity of the Government currency, the same as on coin or bullion.The circulation of Austria consists of a trifle less than one-half of notesof the Austro-Hungarian Bank and the balance in notes issued by theGovernment.

BELGIUM.

The issue of bank notes is confined to the National Bank, which hasa charter for th.rty years from January 1, 1873. While the Govern-ment reserves the right to extend the privilege of issue to other banks,and while theoretically bank notes may be issued by any individual,firm, or company (except a corporation of limited liability), the notesof the National Bank are legal tender to the Government, which con-trols its issues and business, and on account of this feature the bankreally has the monopoly of issuing bank notes. The security to thenoteholders rests principally upon the Government supervision of thebank, the investment of a certain portion of its capital and reserve inGovernment funds, and its being compelled under the act to hold coinor bullion to one-third of its total liabilities to the public (deposits andnotes outstanding).

This reserve may, however, under the authority of the Government,be reduced to 2r> per cent, of its liabilities. There appears to be nolimit to the issue of circulation.

NETIMRLANDS.

The Nederlandsche National Bank enjoys the monopoly of issuing banknotes in the Netherlands. This bank was founded in 1814. Its presentcharter dates from 1864, for a period of twenty-five years. The bankissues two classes of notes, one class amounting to about $4,000,000,covered by the Government debt. This issue is called state notes.Bank notes of the National Bank proper are issued without any fixedmaximum limit. The bank, however, is compelled to carry at least 40per cent, of gold coin or bullion against the aggregate liabilities to thepublic for deposits on call and bank notes.

DENMARK.

The Bank of Copenhagen has the exclusive privilege of issuing banknotes in Denmark. They may be issued apparently without limit, andrest upon the security of the general assets of the bank. Against the

first $8,000,000 of notes issued, the bank must hold good and easily con-vertible assets to the amount of 50 per cent, of their issue. For anyexcess over the $8,000,00.) the bank must hold a metallic reserve con-sisting of legal tender, coin, gold bullion, and foreign coin, and may holdsilver bullion and silver foreign coin not exceeding one-third of the wholereserve. The metallic reserve is not permitted under the act in any caseto fall below three eighths of the whole circulation. From informationobtained through the Department of State, the bank notes outstandingin Denmaik on December 31, 1884, amounted to 73,000,000 crowns, orabout $19,500,000.

NORWAY.

The Bank of Norway (Norgesbank), whose charter dates from 1816, hasthe exclusive privilege of note issue in Norway. This charter may beannulled by actof the Storthing, confirmed by theKing. Modifications ofcharter have taken place from time to time. The bank has the privi-lege of issuing unsecured notes in proportion to its capital. It is per-mitted to issue two and-a-half times its original capital, and also issuestwice the amount of an increase of capital made in 1818, and one-and-a-half times its increased capital of 1842 and 1863. It also issues 150per cent, of notes against its surplus fund, and a further amouut^of notesequal to its gold ou hand. The proportion of secured to unsecured notesis about fifteen to ten The notes of the Bank of Norway are redeemablein gold and are a full legal tender. In consideration of the privilegeof issue the Government participates in the profits, and the bank ap-pears to be practically an institution of the State, and the shareholdershave no voice in its management. The Govennent does not guaranteethe issue, although it would no doubt protect it, on account of its rela-tions to the bank. Theoretically the notes are secured by the reserveof coin and bullion, the capital, reserve fund, and assets of the bank.From information obtained through the Department of State the banknotes outstanding ou December 31,1884, amounted to 38,983,500 crowns,or over $10,000,000.

SWEDEN. •

The Riksbank, or Bank of Sweden, was founded in 1656, and Mr. Pal-grave, in his Journal of the Statistical Society, March, 1873, page 117,claims for Sweden the invention of the bank notfe, the Riksbank beingfounded, as it will be seen, forty .years prior to the Bank of England.

The Bank of Sweden has a circulation of about $10,000,000, whichis unsecured, except that the bank is compelled to keep a certain re-serve as security to the note-holder. The matter of reserve appears tobe well provided for, as its reserve of gold or silver coin or bullion mustat no time be less than about $4,100,000, and such gold and silver as isdeposited abroad or such cash as it has at call with foreign banks andcompanies is also held against its circulation This regulation hasbeen at times suspended, in something the same manner as the Peelact of 1844 has been in England. For more than six months in 1869the reserve was below the minimum required by law, and in 1873 theissue of notes exceeded the prescribed limits. There are other banksof issue in Sweden, known as Enskilda banks, whose organizationappears to be in the nature of a private partnership, the liabilities,however, being somewhat limited. They issue circulation under certain

regulations and restrictions, being compelled before issuing notes to de-posit in a place of public safety 25 per cent, of their capital which hasunlimited liability (the partners and shareholders in these banks beingdivided into unlimited and limited liability shareholders). No notescan be issued against the limited capital until 75 per cent, of suchcapital is deposited. In addition to the notes issued upon these de-posits, bank notes may be issued on coin and notes in hand, gold andsilver bullion, upon such balance as the Enskilda Bank may have withthe liiksbank or Bank of Sweden, and also upon approved securities.This class of bank notes must not exceed 50 per cent, of the entire capital.The regulations for issue of bank notes in Sweden appear to have beencarefully considered. Upon a bank meeting with ioss which impairs itscapital 10 per cent, and reduces its reserve, the association is compelledto liquidate.

EUSSIA.

Bank notes are issued in Eussia exclusively by the Imperial Bank,which was chartered in 1800 with a capital of about $ 12,000,000. By itscharter it has the exclusive issue of bank notes in Russia for twenty-eightyears. The Imperial Bank seems to have no limit to its issue of cir-culation. The increase of its circulation, however, is usually made in re-sponse to the requirements of the Government whenever an exigencyor a deficit in the annual revenue occurs. The bank appears to furnisha paper circulating medium to the Government in addition to theamount previously issued, which, finding its way into the channels oftrade, produces inflation. In 1873 the bank had outstanding upwardsof $600,000,000 of bank notes, against which it held as specie reserveonly about $43,000,000. On November 1, 1879, it is estimated the cir-culation was upwards of $900,000,000. This circulating medium wasthen worth in gold about 60 per cent, of its face or nominal value.

SWITZERLAND.

Notes are issued in Switzerland by banks of two classes—Cantonaland joint-stock banks. (See London Bankers' Magazine, December,1878.) The issues are unlimited. In 1879 the entire issue of thirty-livebanks was about $20,000,000. Notes are received between banks, andbusiness interchanged under an agreement, the interchange being car-ried on in something like the manner that business of a clearing houseis conducted. In some states of Switzerland banking appears to befree from restriction in regard to the issue of bank notes, which aresubject to a tax of J per cent, per annum. Note holders of the banks ofSwitzerland have no preference over other creditors. The present issueof bank notes, as appears from information furnished to the Departmentof State, was over $25,000,000 on December 31, 1884.

In order to eliminate from the circulating medium of the country thelarge amount of illegal and badly-secured issues of bank notes whichthen existed, the law of April 30, 1871, was passed, after an elaborateexamination into methods of other countries in dealing with the samesubject. This act limited the emission of bank notes to six associatedbanks, which were required to issue$200,000,000 of notes to the Govern-ment of Italy, the Government paying interest on the amount of notes

so loaned, and the banks being liable for their payment ratably to theircapital. This issue of notes was for the purpose of taking up certainGovernment loans, and each of the associated banks was permitted inaddition, tor its own use, to put out a certain amount of circulation whichmight be regulated by the Government to 40 per cent, of the capital ofthe bank. The associated circulation is practically the debt of the Gov-ernment, as Government securities equal in amount thereto were issuedto and held as security by the associated banks for the loan of this cir-culation to the Government. The notes issued by the banks in theirindividual capacity are redeemable in coin or in the association notes.Banks are compelled to report to the Government full particulars in re-gard to their issues.

SPAIN.

Bank notes are issued in Spain only by the Bank of Spain, with the headoffice at Madrid, which has between twenty five and thirty branches. Thebank is permitted to issue notes to three times its capital, which areissued entirely on its credit. The bank is required to keep a reserve of33 percent, of its note issue in coin or bullion. The notes, theoretically,are payable in gold on demand, but a considerable proportion of its issueappears to be simply promises to upay to bearer," the words "on de-maud" or "presentation" having been left out. and no statement ismade as to whether or not the note is payable in gold or silver. Thebank does not readily redeem its notes. They have been at a discountin Madrid and the circulation is somewhat limited.

PORTUGAL.

Bank notes are issued in Portugal by the Bank of Portugal, and cir-culate principally in Lisbon and Oporto. There are other banks ofissue also in those cities, as well as in several of the smaller towns,whose circulation is not so generally current in business transactions.The Bank of Portugal has peculiar privileges, and contends that otherbanks have no right to issue circulation. The charter of this bank ex-pired in 1876, and it exists only under a provisional renewal. Its notesare payable in gold on demand, with the except iou of a small portionwhich are payable in silver and copper. These last circulate in Lisbononly, where copper is legal tender to one-third of all payments. TheEnglish sovereign is legal tender in Portugal. Note-holders of theBank of Portugal are not better secured than the other creditors of thebank. The bank notes outstanding in Portugal on December 31, 1884,as reported to the Department of State, was $0,303,000.

Bank notes are issued in Japan by banks organized under a nationalbank act similar in terms to that of the United States. The first regu-lations of this act were issued in 1872, and were revised and amendedin September, L876. There were, ou June 30, 188J, 148 national banksin operation in Japan, with 110 branches. These banks had at thatdate outstanding circulating notes to the amount of 34,358,808 yen.*There is also one so-called specie bank at Yokohama. This bank hasthe privilege of issuing "silver notes" to the extent of a million and a

half yen. It apparently had outstanding in 1882, notes to the amountof 294,520 yen. The notes issued by the national banks are secured bya deposit of Government bonds, and the banks are under the supervisionof the Banking Bureau of the Imperial Finance Department of Japan.The operation of the national bank act appears to have been of serviceto the country, and the notes issued by the banks circulate freelythroughout the Empire.

On the 27th of June, 1882, the Government of Japan established an in-stitution to be known as the Bank of Japan, with a charter limited to30 years, and a capital limit of 10,000,000 yen, business to be confined tonon-hazardous transactions, and the bank required to transact suchGovernment financial business as it shall be directed to perform. Theissue of bank notes is prohibited for a time. The organization of thisbank is similar to that of the Belgium State Bank. Its president isappointed directly by the Emperor, the Government subscribing forone half of its capital. It is evident that the intention is that this bankshall at some tim-e in the future issue circulation under the directionof the Government.

AMOUNT OF INTEREST-BEARING FUNDED DEBT IN THE UNITED STATESAND THE AMOUNT HELD BY NATIONAL BANKS.

The public debt reached its maximum on August 31,1865, at whichtime it amounted to $2,845,907,62(3. More than twelve hundred andseventy-five millions of this debt were in temporary obligations of theGovernment, of which eight hundred and thirty millions bore interestat 7.30 per cent, per annum. The average rate of interest on seven-teen hundred and twenty-five millions of the debt at that date was6.02 per cent. This large amount of temporary obligations wasfunded within the three years which followed the close of the war,chiefly into six per cent, bonds. The six per cent, bonds were grad-ually reduced during the year 1869 and the seven years following, bypayment and refunding into five per cents. The six per cents, togetherwith the five per cents, were subsequently rapidly replaced by four andone-half and four per cent, bonds, which were authorized to be issuedby the act of July 14, 1870. In the year 1881 all of the unredeemedfive and six per cent, bonds, amounting to $579,560,050, were contin-ued payable at the pleasure of the Government, with interest at 3J percent., by agreement with the holders. The act of July 12, 1882, au-thorized the refunding of the three and one-halts into three per cents.;and since its passage all of these bonds have been converted into threeper cents. No call has been made by the Secretary during the yearending November 1 for the payment of any portion of the threes, andthe amount of each class of bonds making up the entire interest-bear-ing funded debt has but slightly changed during the past year. OnJune 30, 1885, the total registered bonds of the United States amountedto $1,071,460,262, of which sum $11,927,900 only was held in ioreigncountries.

The report for 1879 and subsequent reports contain tables exhibitingthe classification of the miniatured interest-bearing bonded debt of theUnited States and of the bonds held by the national banks for a seriesof years, and also tables showing the amount estimated to be held bysavings banks, trust companies, etc.

SECURITY FOR CIRCULATING NOTES.

The operations of the Treasury Department for a series of years havelargely reduced the amount of interest receivable by the national bankson the bonds owned by them and deposited in trust with the Treasurerof the United states to secure their circulation, owing to the paymentof a portion of the public debt and the many changes made in theclasses of United States bonds by refunding or extension of the differentissues of five and six per cent, bonds to bear interest at 4£, 4, 3J, and3 per cent. Eighteen year.-: ago the banks had. on deposit, as securityfor circulation, $327,000,000 in United States bonds, of which amount$241,000,000 bore interest at 0 per cent, and $S<j,000,000 at .5 per cent.;and on July 1, 1882, they held $227,000,000 of three and one-half percent bonds. The Hva and six per cent bonds disappeared in the year1881 from the list of these securities with the exception of $3,500,000 ofPacific sixes, and since that year the three and one-half per cents haveentirely disappeared. On November 1, 1885, more than 45 per cent, ofthe amount pledged for circulation consisted of bonds bearing interestat 3 per cent only, and the remainder, with the exception of $3,505,000of Pacitics, bear interest at the rate of four and tour and one half percent. The average rate of interest now paid by the United States onthe bonds deposited as security for circulating notes is a little more thau3.6 per cent, upon their par value.

The different items of resources and liabilities in the preceding tableindicate that the business of the national banks during the past sevenyears has generally increased, having been larger during the past yearthan at any period since the organization of the national banking sys-tem. The items of United States bonds and circulation have decreased.It also appears from the table that the aggregate liabilities of the na-tional banks to depositors and correspondents, which were reducedduring the previous year upwards of 94 millions, have increased duringthe present year more than 180 millions.

The table also shows that during the same period the national banksincreased their cash resources by about 46 millious of specie, and de-creased the same by about 2£ millions of legal tenders and UnitedStates certificates of deposit for same.

The affairs of a number of banks in the hands of receivers have beencompletely liquidated, with the exception of some matters involved inlitigation now pending in the courts. Much of this litigation is pendingin courts of last resort, and it may be some time before the cases can beheard and decided. This condition of things may delay the final settle-ment of the affairs of these associations. In such cases, however, thereceivers are, as a rule, paid no salary, it being understood that on finalsettlement of the affairs of the banks they shall be paid only for actualservices rendered.

40 REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

As has been seen, there have been but four failures of national banksduring the year ending November 1,1885, as against eleven during theprevious year. An inspection of the above list will show that each ofthe four banks failed this year has already paid a dividend to its cred-itors, two of them 40 per cent, each, and two 20 per cent each.

If receivers, on taking charge of insolvent national banks, discoverevidence which appears to indicate that insolvency has been caused bypractices in violation of the criminal statutes of the United States, suchevidence is at once, by direction of this office, referred through the properchannels to the Department of Justice for appropriate action againstthose who appear to have rendered themselves liable to the penaltiesof the law. Prosecutions of officers of many of the insolvent nationalbanks have been instituted*by the Department of Justice through theUnited States attorneys in the districts where the banks were located,and as a rule convictions have been secured where indictments havebeen found. A number of proceedings of this character are now pend-ing.

Since the commencement of the national banking system 104 bankshave been placed in the hands of receivers, 549 banks have voluntarilyclosed their business by a vote oH stockholders owning two-thirds of thestock, under the provisions of sections 5220 and 5221 of the RevisedStatutes, and the corporate existence of 26 expired by limitation. Ofthe banks in the hands of receivers, 9 had been previously placed inliquidation by their stockholders, but foiling to pay their depositors, re-ceivers were afterwards appointed by the Comptroller to wind up theiraffairs. Of the 104 banks placed in the hands of receivers, 70 havebeen finally closed, leaving 34 in process of settlement, of which, as hasbeen seen, 14 are virtually closed with the exception of pending litiga-tion, leaving 20 receiverships only in active operation.

Since the commencement of the system there has absolutely been noloss to the note-holders of insolvent national banks, every note hav-ing been promptly redeemed on presentation at the United StatesTreasury. The loss to the depositors of these insolvent national banksduring the twenty-two years elapsed since the passage of the act of Feb-ruary 25, 1863, as nearly as can be estimated, taking into considerationdividends which will probably hereafter be paid, has been about$9,860,000. The average annual loss to depositors has been thereforeabout $448,000 in the business of corporations having from year to yearan average capital of about $450,000,000, which corporations have beenresponsible for the safe keeping of deposits in their hands averagingconstantly over $800,000,000. The annual average loss to depositors ofall the national banks is therefore not in excess of one-twentieth of 1percent.

The total amount so far paid to creditors of insolvent national bankahas been $25,651,390 upon proved claims amounting to $43,159,252.The amount paid during the year has been $2,151,868.

Assessments amounting to $9,812,750 have been made upon stock-holders of the insolvent national banks to enforce their individual lia-bility under section 5151 of the Revised Statutes of the United States.From this source $3,982,627 has been collected; $348,670 of this amountduring the past year.

Reference is again made to the tables in the Appendix, showing na-tional banks which have been placed in the hands of receivers, theamount of their capital, of the claims proved, and the rates of dividendspaid, and also showing the amount of circulation of such banks issued,redeemed, and outstanding.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 4 1

As stated in his last report:" It is the intention of the Comptroller to rigidly enforce the bank act and to call

the attention of the Department of Justice to any criminal violations of the same,but experience has proved that it is difficult, not only under the bank act, but gener-ally under criminal statutes, to always obtain sufficient evidence to convict offenders.The Comptroller is of the opinion that, with a few exceptions, the national bank acthas adequate provisions for the prosecution and conviction of those who lay them-selves liable to its penalties. As stated elsewhere, bank failures are not so much dueto the inadequacy of the law as to the failure on the part of the officers and directorsto maintain a proper supervision of the affairs of their associations."

TAXATION.

The only United States tax now paid by the national banks is thesemi annual duty of one-half of 1 per cent, upon the average amount oftheir notes in circulation during the preceding six months. The pro-hibitory tax of 10 per cent, upon State bank circulation paid out, asprovided by section 3412 of the Revised Statutes, is also still in force.Section 5173 of the Revised Statutes provides that the expenses of theBureau of the Comptroller of the Currency, including those of theplates and dies used for the printing of national-bank notes and of theprinting of such notes, shall be paid out of the proceeds of the tax oncirculation.

The act of June 20, 1874, provides for the redemption of national-bank notes in the office of the Treasurer of the United States; that thecost of such redemptions shall be paid by the banks; and that the costof the plates for printing, up to that time paid out of the proceeds ofthe tax on circulation, shall thereafter be paid from the proceeds of anassessment upon the banks. Section 6 of the act of July 12, 1882, forextending the corporate existence of national banking associations,provides that the cost of engraving plates for the issue of circulationof new design, required by the section, should also be paid by the banks.It was the evident intention of the enactors of the original banking lawthat all the expenses which were incurred by the Government in pre-paring circulation to be issued to national associations, as well as theexpenses of carrying on the Bureau of the Comptroller of the Currencyand enforcing the restrictions of the national banking laws, should bedefrayed from the tax on circulation. As has been seen, this principlewas changed by the act of June 20,1874, which, without abolishing thetax on circulation, imposed on the banks the expense of the redemptionof their notes and preparation of their plates, and this course was alsofollowed in the act of July 12, 1882.

The Comptroller in his last annual report suggested that, inasmuchas the constant contraction of the volume of the national-bank currencywas due in great measure to the fact that under present conditions bankscan make but a nominal profit from the issue of circulation, a readyand simple way to prevent a further diminution of the volume of na-tional-bank notes would be to abolish this tax, and also that if this taxwere abolished the expenses of the Bureau of the Comptroller of theCurrency could be paid by a pro rata assessment on the banks, as is nowdone in the case of the redemption of their notes by the Treasurer ofthe United States and in the case of the expenses of preparing platesfor printing notes.

The total expense of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currencyfrom the date of its organization to June 30,1885, has been $6,060,227.37,and the expense for the year ending on that date $225,29*3.38. Fromthe tax on circulation for the year ending June 30, 1885, $2,794,584.01was realized by the United States Treasury.

STATE TAXATION OF NATIONAL BANKS.

The reports of the Comptroller of the Currency for the years 1877,1880,1881, and 1882 contain chapters on the subject of State taxation ofnational bank shares, in which the decisions of the courts construingthe effect of the provisions of the national banking law permittingsuch taxation were considered.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 43

In view of the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court inthe case of Boyer v. Boyer, and the action of the New York banks inseeking- the protection of the courts against the alleged discriminatingtaxation of their shares by the city of New York for the year 1885, it isdeemed best to give in this report a brief resume of the law authoriz-ing State taxation of national-bank shares, and the most important de-cisions of the courts construing this law.

The original national currency act of February 25, 1863, containedno provision authorizing the States to tax national banks in anymanner whatever. The number of banks organized under this act was,however, comparatively small, and the capital small compared withthe capital invested in banks organized under State laws, over whichthe States had full power of taxation. Much of the opposition to thenational system at the time of its inception was manifested by thosewho regarded it as hostile to the State systems, and as a step towardthe removal of one objection, at least, to the State systems becomingmerged in the national, Congress seems to have regarded it as neces-sary to grant to the States the authority to tax national banks. At anearly day the Supreme Court of the United States had held that theStates had no power to impose taxes on corporations created by Con-gress, and the same court has since held that the States cannot imposeany tax whatever on national banks without the authority of Congress.(Williams v. Assessors.)

The power to tax national bank shares was granted, and the methodof imposing such tax indicated by three provisos attached to section 41of the act of June 3, 1864, by which the original act of February 25,1863, was superseded. Under this law, shares of national-bank stockwere made liable to assessment by State authority at the place wherethe bank was located, but not at a greater rate than was assessed uponother moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens of such State,and the tax imposed was not to be at a greater rate than was imposedupon the shares of banks organized under State law. Real estate be-longing to a national bank was to be taxed as other real estate wastaxed.

The question that appears to have first arisen as to the proper construc-tion of the law permitting State taxation of national bank shares, was inregard to the exemption of United States bonds held by national banks,in arriving at the value of the shares liable to taxation. The Hon. Free-man Clarke, then Comptroller of the Currency, in his report to Congressfor the year 1865, took strong ground in favor of the exemption of UnitedStates bonds held by the national banks. He claimed that unless suchbonds held by'a national bank were deducted from its capital in orderto arrive at the value of the shares liable to taxation, the States ex-ercised indirectly the right of taxing United States bonds, althoughsuch bonds were exempted by law from direct state taxation, and thatthus bonds held by national banks were taxed while those held by in-dividuals were exempted. He says, in regard to the ground taken bysome, that a tax on the shares was not a tax upon the securities repre-sented by those shares; "that the position assumed by those who favorthis hypothesis will be found, upon critical examination, to be fallaciouscan scarcely admit of a doubt."

The point came before the United States Supreme Court for decisionin Van Allen v. Assessors (3 Wall., 573), and it was decided by the ma-jority of the court that a share of national bank stock was a distinctthing from the capital of the bank, which capital may be invested in

United States bonds—that the shares are property in the hands of in-dividuals, while the corporation is the legal owner of all the propertyof the bank, real and personal.

The interest of the shareholder entitles him to participate in theprofits of the corporation while the latter is in existence, and also uponits dissolution to receive his proportionate share of such property a&may remain after the payment of its debts. It is this entire interestthat Congress has left subject to taxation by the States, and not suchportion as might remain were the amount invested in United Statesbonds deducted from capital.

The court also held in this case that a New York statute, assessing-shares of national banks for purposes of taxation at the same rate atwhich other moneyed capital was assessed, the tax not to exceed the parvalue of the shares, was void, because it was contrary to the provisionsof the Federal law—that taxation of national bank shares was not to beat a greater rate than was imposed on State bank shares.

The State banks in New York were not taxed on their shares, but oncapital, from which the deduction of the amount invested in UnitedStates securities was allowed, while this deduction could not be madeto reduce the value of national bank shares. The question then arosein a new form. Inasmuch as the law provides that shares of nationalbanks shall be assessed at the same rate as other moneyed capital inthe hands of individual citizens, and inasmuch as United States bondsand securities are exempt in the hands of individual citizens ; when thecapital of national banks is invested in United States bonds, is notthe State tax on their shares invalid ? The United States SupremeCourt in People v. Commissioners (4 Wall., 244) decided that under suchcircumstances the State tax on national bank shares was valid. Underthese two decisions it is apparent that no deduction can be made fromthe value of shares of national banks on account of the exemption fromtax of some of the assets in which their capital may be invested. Thisprinciple will apply to United States notes and to United States orother securities which may by law be exempt from taxation.

The next important case bearing on this matter decided in the UnitedStates Supreme Court was that of Lionberger v. House. This turnedupon the construction of that portion of the Federal law providing thatthe tax on national-bank shares should not be at a greater rate thanwas imposed on the shares of State banks. The point raised was thatthe State of Missouri taxed some State banks less than others. Theselightly taxed banks, holding an inconsiderable portion of the bankingcapital of the State, were organized under special charters, grantedprior to the commencement of the national system, which the State hadno power to change. There was no discrimination as between national-bank shares and those of State banks not so specially exempted. Thecourt construed the clause of theFederal law in question to mean onlythat the State, as a condition to the exercise of the power to tax theshares of national banks, shall, as far as it has the capacity, tax in likemanner the shares of banks of its own creation.

The act of February 10,1868, was passed to further define the placeand manner of taxation of national bank shares, amending section 41of the act of June 3,1864. It may perhaps be regarded as supersedingthat section to the extent of dropping out the proviso that shares ofnational banks shall be taxed at a rate no greater than is imposed onthe shares of State banks. This appears to be the view taken by Con-gress in 1873, when approving the Revised Statutes, as in those statutes

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 45

this proviso is not included. Section 5219, which now embodies thelaw on State taxation of national-bank shares, is as follows:

SEC. 5219. Nothing herein shall prevent all the shares in any association frombeing included m the valuation of the personal property of the owner or holder ofsuch shares, in assessing taxes imposed by authority of the State within which theassociation is located; but the legislature of each State may determine and direct themanner and place of taxing all the shares of national banking associations locatedwithin the State, subject only to the two restrictions, that the taxation shall not beat a greater rate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in the hands of indi-vidual citizens of such State, and that the shares of any national banking associa-tion owned by non-residents of any State shall be taxed in the city or town wherethe bank is located, and not elsewhere. Nothing herein shall be construed to exemptthe real property of associations from either State, county, or municipal taxes, to thesame extent, according to its value, as other real property is taxed.

The validity of State taxation on national bank shares, is under thissection, to be determined solely by the inquiry whether it is at a greaterrate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in the hands of indi-vidual citizens. There has, however, been great difficulty in so regulat-ing the taxation of national-bank shares by the States as to conformstrictly to the intent of this law. As a consequence, in many of theStates, national-bank shares, in the assessment and collection of taxes,have, it is alleged, been in different ways subjected to severe andunjust discrimination, as compared with other moneyed capital. Someof the methods of discrimination are as follows:

(1) Differences are made in the valuation of national-bank shares forpurposes of assessing taxes, as compared with the valuation of othermoneyed capital for the same purpose.

(2) Theindividual holders of other moneyed capital have been allowedto make deductions on account of certain exemptions, such as debtsowed by such individual holders, when holders of national-bank shareswere not permitted to deduct their debts.from the value of such shares.

(3) In the different States distinctions are made in the taxation ofvarious kinds of moneyed capital, other than national-bank shares, inthe hands of individual citizens, and the standard by which the taxationof national-bank shares is to be legally measured becomes thus con-fused.

Many forms of moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens arealtogether exempted by law from taxation, while national-bank sharesare taxed. The difficulty arises in deciding by which class of moneyedcapital the tax on national bank shares is to be guided": Whether thereis to be no tax, as in case of exempted moneyed capital; a less tax, as incase of the class of moneyed capital taxed at a less rate; or a greater tax,as in case of the class of moneyed capital taxed at a greater rate.

All of these forms of discrimination have been passed on in litigationwhich lias come before the United States Supreme Court.

In Ohio the law provided certain State boards for equalizing the tax-ation on real estate, on railroad capital, and on capital invested inbank shares; but there was no State board for equalizing the taxationon personal property, other than bank shares, railroad stock, or othermoneyed capital. The equalization as to all other personal propertyassessed ceased with the county boards of equalization, but the countyboards throughout the State fixed the valuation of moneyed capitalfor purposes of taxation at six tenths of its true value, while the Stateboard fixed the taxable value of bank shares at their actual cash value.The rates of taxation being the same, bank shares were discriminatedagainst to the extent of four tenths of their value. In New York thelaw permitted the deduction of just debts of an individual from his

personal property, including his moneyed capital, excepting only hisbank shares.

In Pelton v. Commercial National Bank of Cleveland (101 U. S., p.143), and in Cutninings v. Merchants' National Bank of Toledo (101U. S., p. 153), the United States Supreme Court decided the ques-tion or' discrimination arising under the laws of Ohio. *In those casesit was held that a tax upon national-bank shares valued for taxationat a higher rate than other moneyed capital was invalid, and that uponpayment of the amount justly assessable a court of equity would enjointhe collection of the residue, but that the bank must pay the portionof the taxes justly due.

In People v. Weaver (100 U. S., p. 539), a case arising under the NewYork law, the Supreme Court decided that the word rate in the pro-vision of section 5219 United States Revised Statutes, that taxationshall not be at a greater rate than is assesssd upon other moneyed cap-tal in the hands of individuals, applies to and includes as well the valu-ation of shares for taxation, as the rate of taxes to be imposed; and that thelaw of the State of New York, which permitted a party to deduct bis justdebts from the value of all his personal property, except his national-bank shares, was void as to the taxation of such bank shares. Thecase of Evansville Bank v. Britton (104 U. S., p. 323), arising under thelaw of Indiana, taxing national-bank shares, supports tbe same doc-trine. These cases disposed of the first two forms of discriminationsalready mentioned, and pointed out the proper remedy to be pursuedby banks in avoiding the payment of taxes illegally assessed. Super-visors v. Stanley (104 U. S., p. 305) decides questions arising as to therecovery of excessive taxes which have been paid by the shareholdersof national banks.

Under the third class of discrimination—where doubt as to theproper taxation of national-bank shares arises from the fact that underState law a discrimination is made in taxing different classes of othermoneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens—the importantcases decided in United States Supreme Court are Lionberger v. Rouse(9 Wall.), already mentioned ; Hepburn v. School Directors (23 Wall.r480), and the recently decided case of Boyer v. Boyer. In Lionber-ger v. Rouse a discrimination was made by the State in taxing sharesof banks organized under its own laws—one class of banks beingtaxed at a higher rate than another. At that time, as has been seen,the law in force measured the taxation of national bank shares by thetaxation of State-bank shares, and in this case the United States Su-preme Court held a tax on national-bank shares to be valid which didnot exceed the tax imposed upon the larger bulk of State-bank shares.In Hepburn v. School Directors (23 Wall., 480) it was held by the UnitedStates Supreme Court that the exemption by State law from taxationof a small portion of other moneyed capital in the hands of individualcitizens was not a reason for exempting uational-bank shares fromtaxation. In this case also it was held that shares of national banksmight be taxed at an amount exceeding their par value, if their marketvalue exceeded their par value.

In the case of Boyer v. Boyer, the Supreme Court decided that ifthe great bulk of moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizensis exempted by State law from municipal taxation, that under the lawof Congress national-bank shares must be exempted also. The courtsays that cases will arise in which it will be difficult to determinewhether the exemption of the particular part of moneyed capital inindividual hands is so serious or material as to infringe the rules ot

substantial equality—that a proper construction of the act of Congressforces the conclusion that capital invested in national-bank shares wasintended to be placed upon the same footing of substantial equalityin respect to taxation by State authority, with other moneyed capitalin the hands of individual citizens, however invested. The court pro-ceeded to say:

Upon such facts, and in view of the revenue laws of the State, it seems difficult toavoid the conclusion that, in respect of county taxation of national-hank shares,there has been and is such a discrimination in favor of other moneyed capital againstcapital invested in such shares as is not consistent with the legislation of Congress.The exemptions in favor of other moneyed capital appear to be of such a substantialcharacter in amount as to take the present case out of the operation of the rule thatit is not absolute equality that is contemplated by the act of Congress; a rule whichrests upon the ground that exact uniformity or equality of taxation cannot in thenature of things be exp cted or attained under any system. But as substantialequality is attainable, and is required by the supreme law of the land, in respect ofState taxation of national-bank shares, when the inequality is so palpable, as to showthat the discrimination against capital invested in such shares is serious, the courtshave no discretion but to interfere.

Having in view this last decision, the banks of the city of New York,after due investigation of the subject by a committee* appointed for thepurpose, have arrived at the conclusion that the valuation of theirshares for purposes of taxation is illegal and void, for the reason thatthe greater portion of moneyed capital in the hands of individual citi-zens in the city of New York is, under the laws of that State, exemptfrom municipal taxation.

Suits have been brought in equity, and the bill in each-case asks foran injunction from collecting any taxes from the bank or from the indi-vidual shareholders until a final hearing of the cause.

The question is frequently asked this office, whether national-banknotes in the hands of individual citizens are liable to State taxation.Section 3707 of the Kevised Statutes provides that all stocks, bonds,Treasury notes, and other obligations of the United States shall be ex-empt from taxation by or under State or municipal or local authority.In section 5413, Revised Statutes, the words uobligation of the UnitedStates" is held to include national bank currency. The question of thetaxability of national bank currency arose in the case of the Board ofCommissioners in Montgomery County v. Elston (32 Ind., 27), andit was decided by the Supreme Court of the State that national-bankcurrency is not exempt from taxation by the State. The court held thatthe provision of law making national currency an obligation of theUnited States, only intended to throw around national currency thesame guards against counterfeiting that were by law provided for ob-ligations of the United States, and not to generally define national cur-rency as an obligation of the United States.

In the case of Home v. Greene, in the Supreme Court of the State ofMississippi (52 Miss., 452), it was decided that the circulating notes ofnational banks are not subject to State taxes. The question, therefore,still appears to be an open one.

While it is true that the limitation prescribeddoes not apply to loans upon produce in transit where the drafts aredrawn on existing values, yet if the produce is stored instead of beingshipped, loans in excess of the one-tenth limit cannot be made except inviolation of law. in such a case the Comptroller has no means of en-forcing the law except by bringing suit for forfeiture of charter, whichmight result in great embarrassment to business, as well as loss to inno-cent stockholders, It seems evident that the law should be so amendedas to permit legitimate loans upon United States bonds, produce or ware-house receipts, and some other classes of collateral security.

January 29, 1885, as stilted in the London Bankers' Magazine, that thisrate of discount had stood since the former date, ami that they had en-deavored for the advantage of business to maintain rhe position of afixed rate, and fortunately succeeded in doing so during the year 1884.

The number of trade bills admitted to discount in the bank of France-during the year 1884* was 5,144,035, representing1 the sum of$907,870,300. * Of this number of bills there were 14,327 biljs of $2.08and under, 661,895 bills from $2.29 to $10, 905,293 bills from $10.2L to#20, and 3,563,120 bills above $20; that is to say, nearly a third inbills under $20.21. The number of trade bills under $20 steadily in-creases. In 1880 there were 1,014,412 of these small discounted bills,in 1881 1,160,945, in 1882 1,224,326, in 1883 1,349,270, and in 1884 theyincreased to 1,581,515. The report by the governor of the Bank ofFrance for the year 1884 states that the proportion of the discountsfor retail trade in Paris has continually increased during the past year.

DIVIDENDS AND EARNINGS.

The large number of mercantile failures which have occurred during1884 and 1885 have not apparently injured or weakened the nationalbanks, the aggregate surplus funds and undivided profits having beenbut slightly reduced. The aggregate surplus of 2,664 banks on Sep-tember 30, 1884, amounted to $147,055,038, and the undivided profits to#63,234,238.

At the close of business October 1, 1885, the aggregate surplus fundof 2,714 banks amounted to $146,624,642, and the undivided profits to$59,335,519, showing a decrease in surplus of $430,396, aud in undividedprofits of $3,898,719.

The following table shows the losses of national banks from Septem-ber 1, 1880, to September 1, 1885, and the ratio of losses to the aggre-gate capital employed :

ber 1, 1885, has been obtained, which shows that the total exchangeswere more than $25,000,000,000, while the balances paid in money wereover $1,295,000,000. The daily average balances paid were $4,247,009,or about 5.1 per cent, of the amount of the settlements.

The balances paid in money during the year consisted of $120,436,000in clearinghouse certificates of the Bank of America; clearinghousecertificates for legal-tender notes amounting to $405,900,000; legal-tenders amounting to $212,643,251; and United States gold certificates$556,376,000. Since the d ite of the issue of the new gold certificates(October 4, 1883), authorized by the act of July 12, 1882, the greaterportion of the balances due from the Government, have been paid inthese certificates instead of coin, thus dispensing with the movementof large amounts in bags and upon drays from the Treasury to the cus-tody ol the banks. During the six months ending November 1, 1884,a portion of the balances du^ from the Treasury of the United Stateswere paid in legal-tender notes, and during the past year the amount ofgold certificates of the United States and of the Bank of America re-ceived inpayment have decreased, while the balances paid in clearing-house legal-tender certificates and legal-tender notes amount to nearlyone-half of the entire money balances paid.

CLEARING-HOUSE CERTIFICATES.

Section 5192 Revised Statutes, provides that clearing-house certifi-cates representing specie or lawful money specially deposited for thepurposes of any clearing house association, shall also be deemed to belawful money in the possession of any association belonging to suchclearinghouse holding and owning such certificates; and section 5193provides that the Secretary of the Treasury may receive United Statesnotes on deposit, without interest, from any national banking associa-tion, in sums not less than $10,000, and issue certificates therefor indenominations of not less than $5,000, which certificates may be countedas part of the lawful money reserve, and may be accepted in the set-tlement of clearing-house balances at the places where the depositstherefor were made.

The legal-tender note certificates were first issued in the fiscal year1873. On June 30, 1875, there were outstanding $59,045,000 of thesecertificates, of which the national banks held $47,310,000. On June 30,1876, the amount outstanding was $33,140,000, of which the banks held$27,955,000. On June 30, 1879, the amount had been reduced to. $29,-330,000, and the banks held on June 14 of the same year $25,180,000.The amount outstanding on September 30, 1885, was $23,185,000, andthe national banks held on that day $18,800,000. The issue of the goldcertificates was authorized by the fifth section of the act of March 3,18(33, and they were used for clearing-house purposes soon after thepassage of the national bank act.

The first issue was made on November 13, 1865. On June 30, 1875,Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

there were outstanding $21,79fi,300, of which the national banks in NewYork City held $12,642,180. The issue of these certificates was discon-tinued on December 1,1878, and the amount outstanding had decreasedon Jane 30, 1879, to $15,413,700, and on October 1, 1880, to $7,480,100.The amount outstanding on October 3, 1882, was $4,907,440, of whichthe national banks held $1,594,300. The issue of gold certificates hav-ing been discontinued by the Government, and the amount of gold coinhaving rapidly increased, the banks in New York found it necessary to es-tablish a depository of gold coin for the convenience of the clearing-house. This depository at the present time is the Bank of America, bywhich bank certificates of deposit were first issued on October 14,1879.The amount of such certificates outstanding on January 1, 1880, was$25,610,000, and on October 1, 1883, was $22,955,000.' The largestamount of coin on deposit was on January 21, 1882, viz, $45,330,000^.the capacity of the vault having been increased since 1880. Of thisamount the national banks of N"ew York City held on October 2; 1883,.$20,345,000; on September 30, 1884, $15,123,000; and on October 1,1885, $16,094,000.

These banks on the same date held of gold Treasury certificates is-sued under the acts of March 3, 1863, and July 12, 1882, $62,249,740.The act of February 28, 1878, authorized any holder of silver dollars ofthe weight of 412^ grains troy of standard silver to deposit the samewith the Treasurer or any assistant treasurer of the United States insums not less than $10, and receive therefor certificates of not less than$10 each, corresponding with the denomination of the United Statesnotes. It required that the coin deposited or representing the certificates should be retained in the Treasury for the payment of the sameon demand, and that said certificates should be receivable for customs^taxes, and all public dues, and also authorized their reissue.

The New York Clearing-House Association issued daring July andiAugust, 1885, clearing-house certificates .based upon fractional silverspecially deposited for such purpose, and on October 1, 1885, the na-tional banks of New York City held $4,825,000 of these certificates.*

It would appear that these certificates could b(3 legally held if desiredas a portion of the lawful money reserve of national banks, undersection 5192 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which pro-vides, as heretofore stated, that clearing house certificates representing"specie or lawful money, specially deposited for the purpose in the clear-ing-house association, shall be deemed lawful money. The fractionalsilver coin represented by these certificates could also be converted intolawful money at any time, as they are redeemable in lawful money ofthe United States on presentation at the Treasury.

Section 12, act of July 12, 188J, provides that the Secretary of theTreasury is authorized and directed to receive deposits of gold coinwith the Treasurer or assistant treasurers of the United Scates insums not less than $20, and to issue certificates therefor in denomina-tions of not less than $20 each, corresponding with the denominationsof United States notes. The coin deposited for or representing thecertificates of deposit shall be retained in the Treasury for the paymentof the same on demand. Said certi ficates shall be receivable for customs,taxes, and all public dues, and when so received may be reissued; andsuch certificates, as also silver certificates, when held by any nationalbanking association, shall be counted as part of its lawful reserve, andno national banking association shall be a member of any clearing house

* These certificates were retired during the month of November, the fractionalcoin which they represented having been presented and redeemed in lawful money.

The amount of circulation of the Bank of France on January 1, 1884,was 3,161,804,536 francs, or say $632,360,907, showing a decrease of183,731,946 francs, or $36,746,389, between that time and January 1,1885, the date of the foregoing table; and since January 30, 1879, anincrease of 687,101,760 francs, or $137,420,352.

It will be seen that the Imperial Bank of Germany has in circula-tion no notes of a less denomination than seven dollars and a half (10thalers), and issues none of less than $25 (100 marks), and that the Bankof France issues less than a million of dollars in value of notes of aless denomination than $10. The Bank of England issues no notes ofless than £5, or $25, and the Irish and Scotch banks none of less than£1, or $5.

Thesetables are again presented, the amounts on November 1, 1881, beingomitted, while those on November 1, 1885, are added. The amounts ofgold and silver in the country available for circulation are based uponthe estimates of the Director of the Mint for January 1, 1879. Theamounts of gold for the succeeding dates have been obtained by addingthe gold production of the country, less the amounts used in the arts,from estimates of the same officer, adding the excess of gold importa-tions during the year, or deducting the excess of gold exportations forthe same period, according to the reports of the Bureau of Statistics.The amounts of silver are obtained by adding for each year the amountof silver dollars and fractional silver coined, less amounts recoined.For the year 1885 the silver bullion purchased by the Government forcoinage and on baud on November 1 is included.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OP THE CURRENCY. 63

For the year ending November 1,1885, the production of gold by themines of the United States is estimated to have been about $30,800,000During the period from November 1, 1884, to October 1, 1885, theamount of foreign and domestic gold coin and bullion imported in ex-cess of the amount exported has been $12,315,915, making an increasein the stock of gold in the country of §43,115,915. From this amountmust be deducted the amount estimated by the Director of the Mint tohave been used in the arts during the same period, $12,000,000, leaving$31,115,915 as the increase in the stock of gold coin and bullion in thecountry.

The total excess of imports of gold over exports of the same from thedate of resumption to October 1, 1885, has been $178,028,043, and thetotal estimated gold product of the mines of the United States for thesame period has been about $222,525,000. The total amount of standardsilver dollars coined during the year ending November 1,1885, has been$28,528,002; of subsidiary silver coin, $195,977; and there was of sub-sidiary coin presented to the mint for recoinage $041,727, therebyreducing the amount of such coin $445,750. The total amount ofstandard silver dollars coined since the passage of the act of February28, 1878, authorizing that coinage, up to November 1, 1885, has been$213/259,431. The following table, based upon the estimates and fig-ures given above, shows the amount of coin and currency in the countryon January 1, 1879, and on November 1 of the years named:

*In obtaining the amount of gold November 1, 1885, the estimated amount on November 1, 1884,has been reduced by $30,000,000, which amount the Director of the Mint has recently estimated wasused in the arts between July 1, 1873, and June 30, 1880, and was not deducted in the original estimatefor July 1, 1879.

tThe sum of $39,542,979 in lawful money has been deposited by the national banlts to retire cir-culation of a like amount which has not yet been presented for redemption.

Ttoere has been no change in the aggregate of legal-tender notes, whichstill remains as fixed by the act of May 31, 1878. National banknotes have decreased $17,712,645 during the year. The amounts of goldand silver have increased $31,115,915 and $31,923,388, respectively,and the total increase during the year in gold, silver, and currency was$45,326,658. The reduction of former estimates of gold by $30,000,000,as explained in foot-note, has apparently reduced the aggregate increaseof gold to $1,115,915, and the aggregate increase or both gold and silverto $33,039,303.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER.OF THE CURRENCY. 71

In previous reports the Comptroller has given the amount of UnitedStates bonds held by banks organized under State laws and by privatebankers as returned to the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue for pur-poses of taxation. A table was compiled, for purposes of comparison,from these returns for the six months ending November 30, 1882, andmay be found in the report of this office for the year 1884, page 32.

STATE BANKS, TRUST COMPANIES, AND SAVINGS BANKS.

The act of Congress of February 19, 3̂ 873, section 333 of the UnitedStates Revised Statutes, requires the Comptroller to obtain from au-thentic sources, and report to Congress, statements exhibiting under ap-propriate heads the resources and liabilities of such banks and savingsbanks as are organized under the laws of the several States and Terri-tories. In compliance with this act he has presented annually in theappendices to his reports the resources and liabilities of these corpora-tions, so far as it has been possible to obtain them. Through the cour-tesy of State officers, returns of State banks, savings banks, arid trustand loan companies have, during the past year, been received fromtwenty-five States. Many of the States and Territories, including WestVirginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, Or-egon, and Dakota, do not require periodical returns of the condition ofthe different classes of banks organized under their laws.

From these returns the following abstract has been compiled, show-ing the resources and liabilities of State banks and trust companies forthe last five years, the number reporting in 1881 being 683; in 1882,704;in 1883, 788; in 1884, 852; and in 1885, 1,015:

The foregoing table includes the returns from six NeV EnglandStates; from four Middle States, not including Delaware; from theStates of Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, California, and the District ofColumbia.

The aggregate of loans in the New England States is $297,220,022 andof deposits $492,373,407. In the Middle States the aggregate of loansis $172,779,215 and of deposits $525,151,161. Some of the largestsavings banks in the city of Philadelphia organized under old chartersare not required to make reports to any State officer. Eeturns directlyreceived from four of these banks, having deposits amounting to$35,362,660, are included in the returns from the State of Pennsylvania.The savings-banks deposits, given in the foregoing table for 1885, basedupon reports made to the State authorities, are $1,095,172,147, and thedeposits of the State banks and trust companies are $532,725,289.These returns do not include bank deposits. The deposits of thenational banks on October 1, 1885, exclusive of those due to banks,were $1,102,354,658.

No just comparison of the deposits of national banks with those ofsavings banks, State banks and trust companies can be made, owing tothe fact that the reports of many of the latter classes of banks weremade to the State authorities at various dates in 1884 and 1885.

The total population of New England, according to the census of 1880,was 4,010,529, and the number of open deposit accounts of the savingsbanks in the year 1885 is 1,460,185, which is equal to about 36.4 ac-counts to each one hundred of the entire population. The averageamount of each account is $337.21, or an average of $122.77 per capita.The deposits of the savings banks in the State of New York were$437,107,501, and the population was 5,082,871, showing an average ofabout $86 per capita.

Tables showing the aggregate resources and liabilities of State banks,trust companies, and savings banks in each State from which returnshave been received from the State authorities appear in the Appendix.A table is also there given showing by States the number of savingsbanks, depositors, and the average amount due to each in 1884 and 1885.Since November 30, 1882, the Comptroller has been entirely dependentfor this information upon returns from the officers of the different States,and where the law requires such returns to be made, they are as arule promptly and courteously forwarded to this office at his request.

PRIVATE BANKERS.

The first official information relating to the private bankers of thecountry published by this office was contained in a table in the Comp-troller's report for 1880, and the last information obtained in reference tothem was for the semi-annual period ending November 30,1882. A tablewill be found in the Appendix giving information for this and previousyears.

APPENDIX.

Tables will be found in the Appendix exhibiting the reserve of thenational banks, as shown by their reports, from October 1, 1878, toOctober 1, 1885; the reserve by States and principal cities for Octo-ber 1, 1885, and in the States and Territories, in New York City, andin other reserve cities, separately, at three dates in each year from 1881to 1885.

Special attention is called to the synopsis of judicial decisions con-tained in the Appendix, to the numerous and carefully prepared tablesin both Report and Appendix, and to the index of subjects and list oftables to be found on page 247. At the end of the full volume, of nearly1,200 pages, is an alphabetical list of the cities and villages in whichthe national banks are situated.

The Comptroller, in concluding this report, desires to gratefully ac-knowledge the industry and efficiency of the officers and clerks asso-ciated with him in the discharge of official duties, many of whom, inaddition to attending to their regular duties, have been compelled^owing to the growth of the national banking system and the extensionof the corporate existence of national associations, to perform a largeamount of extra work, without regard to oMce hours.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 77

SYNOPSIS of DECISIONS of the SUPREME and CIRCUIT COURTS of the UNITEDSTATES and of STATE CO URTS of LAST RESORT, upon Q UESTIONS ARISINGUNDER THE NATIONAL BANK ACT and upon COGNATE POINTS of INTER-EST to BANKS and to PARTIES HA VING DEALINGS with them*

ABATEMENT.I. An action brought by a creditor of a national bank is abated by a decree of

a district or circuit court dissolving the corporation and forfeiting its fran-chises. (First National Bank of Selma vs. Colby, 21 Wallace, p. 609.

II. Suit by the receiver of the New Orleans National Banking Association (formerlya State organization called the Bank of New Orleans) against a shareholderto enforce his personal liability. Plea in abatement that " at the date ofthe appointment of said receiver there was not, nor has there since been,nor is there now, any such corporation as said New Orleans National Bank-ing Association, because said Bank of New Orleans had no power by itscharter, nor authority otherwise from the State of Louisiana, to change itsorganization to that of a national association under the laws of the UnitedStates.'7

On general demurrer this plea was held bad, because no authority fromthe State was necessary to enable the bank to make such change. The op-tion to do so was given by the forty-fourth section of the banking act ofCongress, 13 Statutes, 112. " The power there conferred was ample, auditsvalidity cannot be doubted." (Casey, Receiver, $c, vs. Galli, 4 Otto, p. 673.)

This plea was also held bad upon the additional ground that " where ashareholder of a corporation is called upon to respond to a liability as such,and where a party has contracted with a corporation, and is sued on hiscontract, neither is permitted to deny the existence and legal validity ofsuch corporation." (Ibid.)

" To hold otherwise," says Mr. Justice Swayne (p. 680), " would be con-trary to the plainest principles of reason and good faith, and involve amockery of justice. Parties must take the consequences of the positionsthey assume. They are estopped to deny the reality of the state ofthings which they have made to appear to exist, and upon which othershave been led to rely. Sound ethics require that the apparent, in its effectsand consequences, should be as if it were real, and the law properly so re-gards it."

ACCOMMODATION ACCEPTANCES, INDORSEMENTS, AND NOTES.I. Where bills, indorsed by a national bank for accommodation only, had been

negotiated by the bank through its usual channels of communication withits correspondents as its own bills, and the proceeds thereof have beenplaced to the credit of the bank, which thereupon gave the same credit tothe parties for whom it had thus indorsed, and received no benefit there-from : Held, that although an accommodation indorsement by a nationalbank, in such cases, was void in the hands of holders against whom noticeof the character of the indorsement could be concluded, yet that tbe bankwas liable for the same to holders, for value without notice. (Blair vs. FirstNational Bank of Mansfield, Ohio. United States Circuit Court for Ohio, atCleveland, November term, 1875, Emmons, J. Reported in Bankers' Magazinefor March, 1878, pp. 721-5.)

II. It is no defense in a suit against the acceptor of a draft which has been dis-counted, and upon which money has been advanced by plaintiff, that thedraft was accepted for the accommodation of the drawer. (Davis vs. Ran-dall, 115 Mass., p. 547.)

III. A national bank discounted a note made by the defendant for the benefit ofthe payee, and which the payee agreed to take care of at maturity: Held,that the bank could recover the note although it had, when it took thenote, full notice of the circumstances under which it was given. (T/iatchervs. West River National Bank, 19 Mich., p. 196.)

(See, also, Title "EVIDENCE.")IV. That the accommodation acceptance, indorsement, bill, or note of a corpora-

tion is ultra vires. (See Bank of Genesee vs. Patchin Bank, 13 N. F., p. 309,and 19 N. Y., p. 312 ; Bank of Auburn vs. Putnam, jr., 1 Abb. App. Decisions,

* Many of the decisions cited in this synopsis will be found in " Thompson's NationalBank Cases," vols. 1 and 2; but in most instances reference is made to the originalreport, thus indicating the tribunal by which the point was decided.

p. 80; Monfords vs. Farmers $r Mechanics' Bank, 26 Bard., p. 568 j Farmers $-Mechanics7 Bank vs. Troy City Bank, 1 Doug. [Mich.], p. 45.)

[NOTE.—In the Uuited States Circuit Court, Western District, Virginia,Judge Bond has recently decided the cases of Seligman fy Co. vs. The Char-lottesville National Bank, and Johnston Brothers fy Co. against the same bank.The ftest was an action of covenant upon a letter of credit for £5,000, issuedunder the seal of the bank, pursuant to a resolution of the board of direct-ors, guaranteeing the drafts of Flannagan & Son to the amount of saidletter. The latter wasassumpsit upon five bills of exchange for $5,000 each,dated April 16, 1875, each drawn by said Charlottesville Bank upon theCitizens' National Bank of Baltimore, payable to the order of Flannagan& Son, acceptance waived, maturing upon days "fixed" within five daysof each other, the first, November 20, and the last, December 10 of sameyear. Said bills were not drawn against funds due or to become due fromthe said Citizens' to said Charlottesville Bank, but were a mere loan of thecredit of the latter bank (it being without funds) to the said Flannagan& Son, and drawn to be used by the latter, as they were used, as collat-teral security in part for a loan of $25,000, made by said Johnston Brothersfy Co. to said Flannagan & Son. Said plaintiffs took said bills as suchcollateral security, and with full notice of all the facts aforesaid. Held, 1st.That said letter of credit and said bills of exchange were only the accom-modation paper of said Charlottesville National Bank, and, as such, voidin the hands of the plaintiffs, holding with full notice of their character*.2d. That the incidental powers conferred upon national banks are not suchas are conferred upon banks generally, but only such as are necessary tocarry on the specific banking business prescribed by the national-bankact. Hence, though such banks may borrow money for certain purposes,they have no power to loan their credit to customers. These cases werereported in the Bankers' Magazine for December, 1879.]

ACTIONS.

I. A national bank may be sued in the proper State court. (Bank of Bethel vs.Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., pp. 383, 395.)

II. Such banks may sue in Federal courts. The word " b y " was omitted insection 57 of act of 1864 by mistake. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, 8 Wall,,pp. 506-7.)

III. Receivers may also sue in United States courts. (Ibid.)IV. When the full personal liability of shareholders is to be enforced, the action

must be at law. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, 8 Wall.,p. 505; see, also, Casey, tfc,vs. Galli, supra.)

V. But if contribution only is sought, the proceedings may be in equity, joiningall the shareholders within the jurisdiction of the court. (Ibid., pp. 505-6.)(See, also, Title "SHAREHOLDERS, INDIVIDUAL LIABILITIES OF," VI, post.)

VI. But in Bailey, Receiver, <fc, vs. First National Bank of Duluth, U. S. CircuitCourt for Minnesota, Nelson, J. : Held, that even where less than the parvalue was assessed the suit mighthe at law ; and this would seem to be thetrue theory.

(See Bankers' Magazine, April, 1877, p. 793.)[NOTK.—In Stanton, Receiver, fyc, vs. fVilkeson, 8 Ben., 357, the point was

distinctly made before Judge Blatchford. The suit was brought to enforcean assessment of sixty per centum, and defendant insisted that plaintiffshould have proceeded by bill in equity ; but the court held that the actionat law was the proper remedy, at the option of the receiver.]

VII. A national bank located iu one State may bring action in the circuit courtof the United States sitting within another State against a citizen thereof.(Manufacturers' National Bank vs. Baack, 8 Blatch.,p. 147.)

VIII. In such action it will be presumed, so far as the question of jurisdiction isconcerned, that the stockholders of such bank are citizens of the State wherethe bank is located. (Ibid.) But in case of Commercial Bank of Clevelandvs. Simmons, decided in the United States Circuit Court Northern Districtof Ohio, it was held that a national bank does not sue in the Federal courtby virtue of any right conferred by the judiciary act of 1789, but by virtueof the right conferred by its charter, the national bank act, and this wouldseem to be the true doctrine. (See Thomp. National Bank Cases, p. 295. AlsoFirst National Bank of Omaha vs. County of Douglas, 3 Dillon, p. 298, decidedby Mr. Justice Miller, of the United States Supreme Court.)

IX. Natioual banks can be sued only in the courts designated in the nationalbank act. Therefore a State court of New York has no jurisdiction of anaction against a national bank located in Alabama. (Cadlevs. Tracy, 11Blatch.,p. 101.) To the contrary of this, see Cooke vs. State National Bankt52 N. Y.,p. 96.Digitized for FRASER

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 79

ACTIONS—Continued.X. Actions in their nature local, in the technical legal meaning of that word,

may be brought against a national bank in the State court of the propercounty. (Casey vs. Adams, 102 U. S., p. 66.)

(See, also, Title "JURISDICTION," post.)XI. An action brought against a national bank in a State court was, upon its pe-

tition, removed to the Federal court, and a motion was made to remand itin the United States circuit court for the southern district of New York.Judge Wallace denied the motion on the ground that the right of a nationalbank, as a corporation created by Congress, to remove a suit brought againstit in a State court, is clearly conferred by section 2 of the removal act of1875. It has been determined that any suit brought by a corporationcreated by Congress was one arising under the laws of the United States.(Cruikshank vs. Fourth National Bank, June 19, 1883.;

XII. In a suit brought in the United States circuit court against the stockholdersof the Pacific National Bank upon their personal liability, motion wasmade to dismiss suit for want of jurisdiction, based principally upon thealleged effect of the act of July 12, 1882, placing national banks on thesame footing with other banks. The motion was denied.

XIII. The act of July 12, 1882, placed national and other banks on the same foot-ing as to their right to sue in the Federal courts, and, consequently, anational bank cannot, merely in virtue of a corporate right, sue in suchcourts. But national banks, like other banks and citizens, may sue in suchcourts whenever the subject-matter of litigation involves some matter ofFederal jurisdiction. (Union National Bank vs. Miller, C. C. S. D. Ohio, W.D., March 26, 1883. Fed. Rep., vol. xv, 1703.)

XIV. Under section 1001 of the Revised Statutes no bond for the prosecution ofthe suit, or to answer in damages and costs, is required on writs of erroror appeals issuing from or brought to this court by direction of the Comp-troller of the Currency in suits by or against insolvent national banks, orthe receivers thereof. (Pacific National Bank vs. Geo. Mixter, U. S. SupremeCourt, October Term, 1884.)

ATTACHMENTS OF ASSETS.I. When a creditor attaches the property of an insolvent national bank, he can-

not hold such property against the claim of a receiver appointed after theattachment suit was commenced. Such creditor must share pro rata withall others. (Bank of Stlma vs. Colby, 21 Wall., p. 609; see, also, Harvey vs.Allen, 16 Blatchf., p. 29.)

(See, also, Title "JURISDICTION," II, post.)II. Section 5242 Revised Statutes United States prohibits the issuing of an attach-

ment against a national bank by any State, county, or municipal courtbefore final judgment. (Central National Bank vs. Richland National Bank,52 Howard [N F.], P- 136.)

III. In Bobinson vs. National Bank of New Berne, 58 Bow., p. 306, the court ofappeals decides that a State court can issue attachment process against asolvent national bank, located in another State, upon which its funds withinthe jurisdiction of such court can be seized and subjected to the satisfactionof any claim established by the judgment of such tribunal. But in thesupreme court of New York, in Rhoner vs. First National Bank of Allen town,14 Hun., p. 126, the contrary doctrine is held, in accordance with the rulingin Central National Bank vs. Richland National Bank, 52 How., p. 136, hereto-fore cited."

[NOTE.—It is submitted that the latter is the correct rule. The currencyact favors the policy, on the part of country bauks, of keeping a largeportion of their reserve in certain cities. But if such banks are advisedthat such reserve funds are there subject, at any moment, to be seized byprocess of a State court, at the instance or caprice of any resident who maythink himself a creditor, such deposits will be made with more or less hesi-tation, or not at all.]

ATTORNEYS.I. Section 56 of the currency act is directory only, and it cannot be objected by

defense that a suit is brought by a private attorney instead of the UnitedStates district attorney. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, 8 Wall., p. 504.)

BY-LAWS.I. A national bank cannot by its by-laws create a lien on the shares of a stock-

holder who is a debtor of the association. (Bullard\s. National Bank, tfc,18 Wall., p. 589.)

80 EEPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

BY-LAWS—Continued.

(See, also, case of Bank vs. Lanier, 11 Wall., p. 369, cited under "LOANSON SHARES," post.)

[NOTE.—In Young vs. Vough, 23 N. J. Equity R., p. 325, it was held thata national bank could by its by-laws prohibit the transfer of shares by ashareholder while indebted to the bank, and that transfers in violation ofsuch by-laws were void. As it is held by the Supreme Court of the UnitedStates that such by-laws can create no lien for indebtedness, it would seemthat a regulation prohibiting such transfers can be of little practical use,even if the power exists. ]

CHECKS.

The holder of a check on a national bank cannot sue the bank for refusingpayment, in the absence of proof that it was accepted by the bank. (Na-tional Bank of the Republic vs. Millard, 10 Wall., p. 452.)

II. The relation of banker and customer is that of debtor and creditor. Receiv-ing deposits is an important part of the business of banking, but the mo-ment they are received they become the moneys of the bank, may be loanedas a part of its general fund, and the check of the depositor gives no lienupon them. (Ibid., p. 155.)

III. Perhaps, on proof that check had been charged to the drawer, and that thebank had settled with him on that basis, the holder or payee could recoveron account for " money had and received.7' (Ibid., pp. 155-6.)

IV. The facts that the bank was a United States depository and the check wasdrawn by a United States officer to a United States creditor do not varythe rule. (Ibid., pp. 155-6.)

V. Where a bank pays a check drawn on it in favor of a party whose indorse-ment thereon is forged, and the same has passed through several hands,only reasonable diligence is required to be exercised in giving notice toprior holders of the forgery, after its discovery, in order to hold them liable.(Shrwder vs. Harvey, 75 III., p. 638.)

VI. A clerk of plaintiffs received from their debtors, checks, payable to their(plaintiffs') order, in payment of sums due. The clerk, wrongfully andwithout authority, indorsed the names of the plaintiffs on these checksand transferred them to other persons, appropriating the proceeds to hisown use. Subsequently these checks were deposited with a bank, whichin good faith collected them and paid over the proceeds to the depositors.In a suit by plaintiffs against the bank to recover the amount so collectedby it: Held, that the bank was liable. (Johnson vs. First National Bank,13 N. Y. Sup. Court.)

VII. Bankers are presumed to know the signatures of their customers, and pay-checks purporting to be drawn by them at their peril. ( Weisser vs. Denni-son, 10 N. Y.,p. 68; National Bank of the Commonwealth vs. Grocers' Na-tional Bank, 35 Howard [_N. Y. P. R.,'] p. 412.) This last case holds that ifthe bank, the drawee, pays the forged check to the holder, it cannot re-cover back the money so paid. The same doctrine was held in case of FirstNational Bank of Quincy vs. Bicker, 71 III., p. 439 ; but qualified by holdingthat it applied only where the presumed negligence was all on the side ofthe bank, and where the holder or payee had been guilty of no fraud or actto throw the bank off its guard.

VIII. CERTIFYING.—National banks have the power to certify checks; and thispower may be exercised by the cashier without any special authorization.The directors can limit this power, but such limitation will be no defenseas to parties having no notice. (Merchants' .National Bank vs. State NationalBank, 10 Wall., p. 604.)

IX. A certificate of a bank that a check is good is equivalent to an acceptanceimplying that the bank has the funds to pay it, and that they are set apartfor that purpose. (Ibid., p. 604.)

X. A national bank is liable on a check certified by its cashier to the holder ingood faith, although the drawer has no funds- in the bank when it wascertified. (Cooke vs. State National Bank, 52 N. Y., p. 96.)

XI. The act of Cougress of March 3,1869, making it unlawful for a national bankto certify checks unless the drawer has at the time funds on deposit TO anamount equal to the amount specified in the check, does not invalidate aconditional acceptance of a check by such bank, having no funds of thedrawer in its hands at the time, but engaging to pay the same when adraft left with it for collection by the drawer shall have been paid. (FirstNational Bank vs. Merchants' National Bank, 7 West Va., p. 544.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 81

C HECKS—Continued.XII. A bank is liable to pay a subsequent bona fide purchaser the amount of a

check which it has certified, notwithstanding the check was fraudulentlyraised, if before certification, from a smaller amount. (Louisiana NationalBank vs. Citizens' Bank, 28 La. Annual, p. 189.)

XIII. When a bank was chargeable with negligence in certifying a check, Whichwas so drawn as to admit of a fraudulent alteration of the amount beingeasily made, and the check ivas raised: Held, that the bank was liable to abona fide holder, for value, for the increased amount. (Helwege vs. HiberniaNational Bank, 28 La. Annual, p. 520.)

[NOTE.—As the above case unquestionably declares the true rule of law,prudence would seem to dictate that cashiers should always insist uponsuch filling up of checks as to render alteration impracticable, before cer-tifying.]

XIV. A certified check is not deemed dishonored by delay between its date and thetime when it is sold to a bona fide purchaser, for value, so that the lattertakes it as overdue, and subject to equities; because, by certifying, thebank becomes the principal debtor, and liable indefinitely, like an acceptorof a bill of exchange. Hence, one who in good faith, and after makingreasonable inquiry, bought a certified check, three or four months after itsdate, which had been stolen, was held entitled to recover its amount. (No-lan vs. The Bank of New York, 67 Barb.,p. 24.)

XV. A check contained on its face this recital: "To hold as collateral for 1,000P. T. oil, pipage paid to Jan. 4, 1876"; across.its face the cashier wrote,"Good when properly indorsed": Held, that the check was not drawn inthe usual course of banking business, and therefore the certificate of thecashier did not bind the bank. (Dorsey vs. Abrams et al.y bankers, 85 Pa.,p. 299. See, further, as to liability on checks, certified or otherwise, Dodgevs. National Exchange Bank, 30 O., p. 1; Security Bank vs. National Bank ofthe Republic, 67 N. Y, p. 458; Andrews vs. German National Bank, 9 Heisk.\_Tenn.}, p. 211.)

BANK CHECK.XVI. (1.) An order drawn at Kansas City, Mo., on a bank in New York City, to pay

money to H. C. or order on demand, without days of grace, is a bank check.(2.) EQUITABLE ASSIGNMENT OF PART OF DRAWER'S FUND ON DEPOSIT.—

Where the depositor of a fund in a bank draws his check for a part of thatfund, which is presented in due time, this is an appropriation, and anequitable assignment of so much of the fund as is called tor by the check,although no action at law could be maintained upon it.

(3.) EQUITABLE ASSIGNMENT FOR BENEFIT OF CREDITORS.—Where adebtor, having a large fund in bank, drew his checks in favor of certaincreditors, and thereafter, before said checks were presented, made a generalassignment of all his property for the benefit of his creditors, under a Stateinsolvent law: Held, that the check-holders who presented their checksand demanded payment, while the fund remained in the hands of the bank,were entitled to payment as against the assignee. The checks amounted toan appropriation of so much of the fund in which they were drawn, and tothat extent it did not pass to the assignee.

(4.) PRESENTATION OF CLAIM TO ASSIGNEE—ELECTION OF REMEDY.—Thepresentation by the check-holders of their claims to the assignee, and hisallowance of them, and their receipt of dividends under the assignment,was not the election by them of a remedy which prevents a recovery in thiscase. (First National Bank of Cincinnati et al. vs. Kersey Coates et al. UnitedStates circuit court, western district of Missouri, May term, 1881. In equity.)

XVII. B, a banker, in payment of moneys collected by him for C, gave his check onthe D bank for a sum less than the amount to his credit in that bank. Be-fore the check was presented for payment B made an assignment for cred-itors, of which the bank had notice. Held, that the check operated as anequitable assignment to C of the deposit to the amount named in the check,and that C was entitled to such amount in preference to the assignee forcreditors.

CIRCULATION.The circulating notes of a national bank are valid without theljmprint of the

seal of the United States Treasury. ( U. S. vs. Bennett'll%Blatchf., 357.)CITIZENSHIP.

demand a removal of the suit from a State to the proper Federal court.{Chatham National Bank vs. Merchants1 National Bank, 4 Thompson <f CookyN. Y. Sup. C, p. 196, and 1 Hunter IN. F.], p. 702; Davis vs. Cook, 9 Nevada,p. 134.)

(See also Title "ACTIONS" V and VI, supra.)II. A national bank, being a citizen of the State in which it is located, may be

required to give security for costs when suing in another State; and inthe State of New York such security may be required, because the bank isregarded as a corporation created by a foreign State. (National Park Bankvs. Gunst, 1 Abbott's New Cases, p. 292.)

COLLECTIONS.I. A bank receiving paper for collection undertakes to use due diligence in

making demand at maturity, and giving the proper notices of non-payment.An unreasonable delay will charge the bank with liability for the amount;and proof that the paper would not have been paid, if presented, will con-stitute no defense. (Bank of Washington vs. Triplett, 1 Peters, p. 25; Bankof New Hanover vs. Kenner, 76 N. C.,p. 340; Steelevs. Russell,5 Nebr.,p. 211;Capital State Bank vs. Lane, 52 Miss., p. 677; Fabens vs. Mercantile Bank, 23Pick. [Mass.], p. 320.)

II. And if the bank receiving paper for collection, upon a sufficient considera-tion, transmits it to another bank to be collected, the receiving bank willbe liable for the misconduct of such other bank, unless there is some agree-ment to the contrary. (Montgomery County Bank vs. Albany City Lank, 7N. Y., p. 459; Commercial Bank vs. Union Bank, 11 N. Y., p. 203; Kent vs.Daivson, 13 Blatchf., p. 237; First National Bank vs. First National Bank ofDenver. 4 Dill, p. 290.)

III. A bank received a check upon itself for collection, being at the same timea large creditor of the drawer, and failed, without excuse, to notify thedepositor of the non-payment of the check: Held, that the bank was charge-able for the negligence. (Bank of New Hanover vs. Kenner. supra.)

IV. A bank holding a check for collection, and accepting the certification of thebank upon which it is drawn, in lieu of payment, assumes the risk andthereby becomes liable to the owner for the amount, with interest fromdate of certification. (Essex County National Bank vs. Bank of Montreal, 7Bissell, p. 193.)

V. The Corn Exchange National Bank of Chicago sent defendant, the Dawson Bank,at Wilmington, N. C, a draft drawn upon one- Wistvall, living at Washington,N. C, for collection. Defendant by letter acknowledged the receipt of thedraft, stating that it had been credited to the Corn Exchange Bank andentered for collection. Thereupon defendant sent draft to Burbank fy Gal-lagher, bankers at Washington, N. C, for collection. The latter house col-lected the draft, but failed and passed into bankruptcy before remitting.In a suit brought by the assignee of the Corn Exchange National Bankagainst the Dawson Bank to recover the proceeds of the draft: Held, perWallace, J., that the latter bank was liable for the amount. (Kent, assignee,fyc, vs. The Dawson Bank, 13 Blatchf., p. 237.)

[NOTE.—The court concedes that the authorities are conflicting upon thepoint involved in this case. In New York, Ohio, and in England, the decis-ions sustain the conclusions of Judge Wallace, while in Connecticut, Massa-chusetts, Illinois, and Pennsylvania precisely the contrary rule prevails. Thepoint was made in this case that the law of Illinois should control the rightsof parties, but it was held otherwise.]

VI. In an action by G against a bank it appeared that a note was made to G'aorder, indorsed by him, and sent through the house of B, a banker, for col-lection, and by B indorsed to the defendant bank "for collection andcredit": Held, that B, by the indorsement, did not become the owner of thenote, and had no right to pledge it, or direct its proceeds to be credited tohim in payment of his indebtedness to the defendant bank. (First NationalBank vs. Gregg, 79 Pa., p. 384.)

VII. In such case, if the defendant bank had made advances, or given new creditto B on the faith of the note, it would have been entitled to retain theamount out of the proceeds (Ibid.)

VIII. A bank holding a customer's demand note has a lien upon the proceeds ofdrafts delivered to it for collection, after the giving of the note, thoughcollected after the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, and can apply suchproceeds upon the notes. (Be Farnsworth, 5 Biss., p. 223.)

COLLECTIONS—Continued.

IX. A collection agent who receives from his principal a bill of lading of mer-chandise, delivered to order, and attaches to it a time draft, may, in the ab-sence of special instructions, deliver the bill of lading to the drawee of thedraft upon the latter's acceptance of the draft. It is not the duty of theagent to hold the bill after such acceptance. (National Bank of Commercevs. Merchants1 National Bank, 1 Otto, p. 92.)

X. Woolen fy Co., bankers at Indianapolis, sent to defendant, a bank at Buffalo,a draft on one Bugbee; also bills of lading for sundry car-loads of lumber.The remittance was by letter, which merely stated that the draft and billswere sent to defendant for collection and remittance of proceeds to plaint-iffs, Woolen <$• Co. The draft was drawn by, and to the order of, Coder 8fCo., indorsed by them, by Mayhew, and the plaintiffs. By the terms of thedraft the drawer, indorsers, and acceptor waived presentment for paymentand notice of protest and non-payment. It was payable fifteen days afterits date, and it was admitted that by ordinary course of transit the lumberwould reach its destination eight days prior to the maturity of the draft.There had been no business transactions between plaintiffs and defendants,save one collection similar to this. Defendants presented the draft to Bug-bee for acceptance, and upon such acceptance delivered to him the bills oflading. Bugbee failed before the draft matured, and plaintiffs sued defend-ants for delivering the bills of lading to Bugbee before payment of the draft.It was conceded that the draft was drawn for the price or value of the lum-ber: Held, per Wallace, J., that, the draft being on time, it must be pre-sumed that it was the intent of parties that Bugbee should realize fromsale of the lumber the funds to meet the draft at maturity. Therefore,upon his acceptance of the draft, he was entitled to the bills of lading, anddefendants were not liable for thus delivering them; but if the draft hadnot been upon time, a different rule might have prevailed. ( Woolen fy Webbvs. N. Y. and Erie Bank, 12 Blatehf., p. 359.)

XI. L transmitted to a bank a draft indorsed "for collection on his account."The bank provisionally credited the draft, when received, to L, presentedit for payment, and surrendered it to the drawee on receipt of his check forthe amount. Instead of demanding the money on this check, the bank hadit certified "good," and on the same day suspended payment. The nextday the check was collected, and the money mingled with the other moneyin the hands of the receiver: Held, that the receiver held the funds in trustfor L. (Levi vs. Missouri Bank, 5 Dillon, p. 104.)

XII. The general power of a bank to collect ceases by its suspension as to paperpreviously deposited therewith. (Jockusch vs. Towsey, 51 Tex., p. 129.)

XIII. As to effect of indorsement "for collection," see Bank of Metropolis vs. FirstNational Bank of Jersey City, U. S. Circuit Court, S. D. N. Y., Bankers1 Mag-azine, August, 1884.

XIV. A bank in Pittsburgh sent to a bank in New York, for collection, eleven unac-cepted drafts, dated at various times through a period of over three months,and payable four months after date. They were all drawn on "WalterM. Conger, secretary Newark Tea Tray Co., Newark, N. J.," and weresent to the New York bank as drafts on the Tea Tray Company. The NewYork bank sent them for collection to a bank in Newark, and in its lettersof transmission recognized them as drafts on the company. The Newarkbank took acceptances from Conger individually on his refusal to acceptas secretary, but no notice of that fact was given to the Pittsburgh bankuutil after the first one of the drafts had matured. At that time thedrawers and an indorser had become insolvent, the drawers having been ingood credit when the Pittsburgh bank discounted the drafts: Held, thatthe New York bank was liable to the Pittsburgh bank for such damages asit had sustained by the negligence of the Newark bank.

The circuit court having on a trial before it without a jury made a finding offacts which did not cover the issue as to damages, and given a judgment forthe defendant, this court, on reversing that judgment, remanded the case foranew trial, being unable to render a judgment for the plaintiff for any spe-cific amount of damages. (Exchange National Bank of Pittsburgh, Pa., vs.The Third National Bank of New York City, U. S. Supreme Court,'lti84, Bank-ers' Magazine, February, 1885, p, 611.)

XV. Where a negotiable instrument, indorsed and delivered in blank to a bank,though in fact onlj for collection, is sent by it to another bank for " col-lection and credit" before maturity, and the latter receives it without no-tice that it does not belong to the former, it may lawfully retain the pro-ceeds of the collection to satisfy a claim for a general balance against the

other bank, if that balance lias been .allowed to arise and remain on thefaith of receiving payments from such collections pursuant to a usage be-tween the two banks. ( Vickrey vs. State Savings Association, Federal Repor-ter, vol. 21, p. 773.

COMPROMISES.

I. In adjusting and compromising contested claims against it, growing out of alegitimate banking transaction, a national bank may pay a larger sum than,would have been exacted in satisfaction of them, so as to thereby obtaina transfer of stocks of railroad and other corporations, in the honest beliefthat, by turning them into money under more favorable circumstances thanthen existed, a loss which it would otherwise suffer from the transactionmight be averted or diminished. (First National Bank vs. National ExchangeBank, 2 Otto, p. 122.) .

II. So, also, it may accept stocks in satisfaction of a doubtful debt, with a viewto their subsequent conversion into money, in order to make good or reducean anticipated loss. (Ibid.)

(See, also, Title "ESTATE, REAL," I, post.)III. A court has no power, under section 5324 of the Revised Statutes of the

United States, to order the receiver of a national bank to compound debtswhich are not " bad or doubtful " ; and a composition, under such an order,of debts not bad or doubtful, is ineffectual. (Price, receiver, $c, vs. Yates,2 Thomp. Cases, p. 204, U. S. Circuit Court, Western District Pa.)

IV, A receiver compromised suits with counsel for the United States: Held, thatthe compromise would not be opened after a lapse of years, no fraud beingalleged. (Henderson vs. Myers, 11 Phil., Pa., p. 616.)

[NOTE.—This must have been a compromise made without a special orderof court. ]

COMPTROLLER.

I. The Comptroller appoints the receiver, and can therefore remove him. (Ken-nedy vs. Gibson, 8 Wall., p. 498.)

II. The Comptroller's certificate, reciting the existence of the facts, of which heis required to be satisfied to justify the appointment of a receiver undersection 50 of the national bank act, is sufficient evidence of the validity ofsuch appointment in an action brought by such receiver. (Platt vs. Bebee,57 N. ¥.,p. 339.)

III. The Comptroller must authorize any increase of the capital stock of a nationalbank; and such increase must be certified by him, as prescribed by section13 of the act of Congress providing for the organization of national banks.(Charleston vs. People's National Bank, 5 S. C.,p. 103.)

IV. The Comptroller cannot subject the United States Government to the juris-diction of a court, though he appears and answers to the suit. (Caseva.Terrell, 11 Wall., p. 199.)

(See, also, Title " SHAREHOLDERS, INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY OF,"post.)V. Where a national bank was put into insolvency by the Comptroller of the Cur-

rency, and a creditor, whose claim was disputed, recovered judgment sevenyears after for an amount much larger than the amount of his claim at thetime of failure, on account of interest for the interval having been includedin the judgment, it was held that dividends must be calculated and paidupon the amount of the claim at the time of the failure of the bank. (UnitedStates ex rel. White vs. Knox, U. & Supreme Court, May 5, 1884.)

CONVERSION.

I. The conversion of a State into a nationl bank works no dissolution, only achange of the original corporation ; nor does the latter thereby escape anyof its liabilities. (Maynard vs. Bank, 1 Brewster, Pa., p. 483; Kelsey vs. Na-tional Bank of Crawford County, 69 Pa., p. 426 ; Coffey vs. National Bank ofthe State of Missouri, 46 Mo., p. 140.)

II. The certificate of the Comptroller of the Currency is conclusive as to theregularity of the proceeding by which any bank has been converted into anational bank. (B. U. Keyser, receiver, vs. Jane C. Hitz, Sup. Court, D. C.Decided June 26, 1883.)

III. Where owners of more than two-thirds of stock consent to the conversion ofa bank into a national bank, the conversion may take place without theconcurrence of the remaining stockholders. (Ibid.)

IV. Although it might be more regular, it is not necessary that, on conversion,a new stock book should be opened, or new certificates of stock issued.(Ibid.)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 85

CONVERSION—Continued.

V. A stockholder giving consent to conversion thereby becomes a stockholder inthe new bank, even if new certificates of stock are not issued. (Ibid.)

CREDITORS OF NATIONAL BANKS.I. The respective rights and liabilities existing between a national bank and

its creditors and debtors become fixed when its insolvency occurs. * * *All the property and assets of the association then become a fund, legally-dedicated, first, to the satisfaction of any claim of the United States forthe redemption of its circulating notes, and, second, for a ratable distribu-tion of the balance among its general creditors upon the principle of equal-ity. (Balch vs. Wilson, 2 Thomp. Cases, p. 276 ; 25 Minn., p. 299.)

II. The United States, as a creditor of a national bank, is not entitled to a prior-ity of payment out of its assets over other creditors. (Cook Co. NationalBank and Aug. H. Burley, receiver* of said bank, appellants, vs. The UnitedStates, U. S. Sup. Court, Oct. term, 1882.) This suit was appealed from theUnited States circuit court, northern district Illinois, in the name of theUnited States, by the bondsmen of McArthur, postmaster of Chicago. Thebank was a Government depository, and on its failure the proceeds of itsbonds deposited in the United States Treasury to secure deposits were suf-ficient to refund ail the public moneys, except about $20,000 of postal funds.The bondsmen, being liable for any amount the bank might fail to pay ifthe United States accepted pro rata dividends with other creditors, broughtsuit for the whole amount, claiming priority of payment under a statute of1797, providing that in the case of insolvent debtors of the United States,the debt of the United States should first be satisfied from their estate.The court decided that the statute of 1797 was suspended as to nationalbanks by the act authorizing the formation of national banks, by whichthe United States was placed on the same footing as other creditors. Thecourt said: "We consider that act (national bank act) as constituting byitself a complete system for the establishment and government of nationalbanks." (For further points decided in this case, see "Set-off.")

CURRENCY.I. The word "currency," in a certificate of deposit, means money, including bank

notes, which, though not an absolute legal tender, are used as money byauthority of law, and are in circulation generally, at the locus in quo, on parwith coin. (Klauber vs. Biggerstaff, 47 Wis^p. 551.)

CURRENCY ACT.I. The purpose of the currency act was, in part, to provide a currency for the

whole country, and, in part, to create a market for the Government loans. (PerStrong, J., in Tiffany vs. National Bank of the State of Missouri, 18 Wall., p.413.)

II. National banks organized under the act of Congress of June 3,1864, are theinstruments designed to be used to aid the Government in the administra-tion of an important branch of the public service; and Congress, which isthe sole judge of the uecessity for their creation, having brought them intoexistence, the States can exercise no control over them, nor in any wise affecttheir operation, except so far as Congress may see proper to permit. (PerSwayne, J., in Farmers and Mechanics' National Bank vs. Bearing, 1 Otto, p.29.)'

III. The constitutionality of the act of June 3,1864, is unquestioned. It rests onthe same principle as the act creating the second Bank of the United States.The reasoning of Secretary Hamilton and of this court in McCulloch vs. TheState of Maryland, 4 Wheat., p. 316, and in Osborne vs. Bank U. S., 7 Wheat.,p. 708, therefore applies.

IV. The power to create carries with it the power to preserve. The latter is acorollary of the former. (Ibid., per Swayne, J., pp. 33, 34.)

DEBTORS OF NATIONAL BANKS.I. Debtors of an insolvent national bank, when sued by the receiver, cannot

object that pleadings do not show a compliance with all the steps prescribedby statutes as preliminary to the appointment of such receiver. (Cadle,receiver, tyc, vs. Baker $ Co., 20 Wall., p. 650.)

II. Such ordinary debtors may be sued by receiver without previous order of theComptroller. (Bank vs. Kennedy, 17 Wall., p. 19.)

86 REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

DEPOSITS.

I. CERTIFICATES OF.—A certificate of deposit was issued by a bank for a certainsum, subject to the order of the depositor at a certain date, payable on thereturn of the certificate: Held, in an action on said certificate against thebank, brought by an assignee, that there could be no recovery withoutproof of an actual demand and refusal of payment. {Brown vs. McJSlroy,52 Ind.,p. 404.)

II. In a suit against the bank upon a stolen certificate of deposit, given by thedefendant to the plaintiff, reciting that he had deposited in the bank a cer-tain number of dollars, payable to his order in current funds, on the returnof the certificate, properly indorsed: Held, first, that the instrument shouldbe regarded as the promissory note of the bank, assignable under the stat-ute (of Indiana), but that it was not negotiable as an inland bill of exchange,being made payable not in money, but "in current funds;" second, thatthe payee could recover on said stolen certificate without giving a bondagainst a subsequent claim thereunder by another person. {National StateBank vs. Eingel, 51 Ind., p. 393.)

III. Where a bank issues a certificate of deposit, payable on its return, properlyindorsed, it is liable thereon to a bona-fide holder, to whom it was trans-ferred seven years after it was issued, notwithstanding the payment thereofto the original holder. Such certificate is not dishonored until presented.(National Bank of Fort Edward vs. Washington County National Bank, 5 Hun.,N. Y. Sup. Court, p. 605.)

IV. Under a statute prohibiting the circulation of bills or notes not payable ondemand, banks have no power to issue time certificates of deposit; andsuch certificates, if issued, are void. They are equivalent to post notes.{Bank of Peru vs. Farnesworth, 18 III., p. 563; Bank of Orleans vs. Merrill,2 Hill [N. Y.], p. 295; Leavitt vs. Palmer, 3 JV. Y. [Corns*.], p. 19.)

(See also, "CURRENCY," supra.)V. GENERAL.—The relation between a bank and its depositors is that of debtor

and creditor only, and is not fiduciary. Thus, a note deposited for collec-tion, if passed to the credit of the depositor in his general account, thenoverdrawn, becomes the property of the bank, which becomes indebted tohim for the proceeds. Upon the bankruptcy of the bank, the proceeds areassets available to the general creditors. And the fact that the accountwas made good by other deposits before collection of the note makes nodifference. {In re Bank of Madison, 5 Bissell, p. 515.) A national bank mayalso apply a deposit in payment of a matured note held against the depos-itors. {Home Bank vs. Newton, 8 III., App., 563.)

VI. A deposit is general, unless the depositor makes it special, or deposits it ex-pressly in some particular capacity. And in case of a general deposit ofmoney with a banker, a previous demand by the depositor, or some otherperson by his order, is indispensable to the maintenance of an action for thedeposit, unless circumstances are shown which amount to a legal excuse.{Brahm vs. Adkins, 77 III, p. 263.)

VII. A national bank having become insolvent, a depositor therein assigned hisdeposit to a debtor of the bank: Held, that the latter could not offset suchdeposit against his debt, in an action thereon. (Venango National Bank vs.Taylor, 56 Pa., p. 14.)

VIII. A depositor was also indebted to the bank on bond and mortgage: Held, thathe could offset his deposit against said indebtedness, the bank being in thehands of a receiver. {Matter of New Amsterdam Savings Bank vs. Gartter, 54How. [N. Y. P. 2J.], p. 385.)

JX. The claims of depositors in a suspended national bank are, when proved tothe satisfaction of the Comptroller of the Currency, on the same footing asif they were reduced to judgments, and from date of such proof bear inter-est. (National Bank of the Commonwealth vs. Michigan National Bank, 94U. S. [4 Otto], p. 437.)

X. SPECIAL.—The taking of special deposits to keep, merely for the accommo-dation of the depositor, is not within the authorized business of nationalbanks; and the cashiers of such banks have no power to bind them on anyexpress contract accompanying, or any implied contract arising out of suchtaking. ( Wiley vs. First National Bank, 47 Ft,p. 546.)

[NOTE.—To the same effect was the decision of the New York court ofappeals in First Nat. Bank of Lyons vs. OaanNat. Bank, 60 N. Y., p. 278. Butit is to be remembered that in both these cases only the act of the cashierwas relied upon to bind the bank. In the latter case it was stated thatthere was no proof of even implied knowledge or assent on the part of thedirectory. In the well-reasoned case of Weckler vs. First Nat. Bank ofHagerstown, 42 Md.,p. 581, these cases are cited with decided approval; but

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 87

DEPOSITS—Continued.

a recent decision of the Supreme Court goes very far towards establishing adifferent doctrine. In National Bank vs. Graham, 100 U. S., p. 699, theSupreme Court held that section 52*28 R. S. U. S. conferred upon a nationalbank power to receive and take charge of special deposits, such as thepublic securities of the Government, and that such bank is liable indamages for the loss, through gross negligence, of such deposit, when it hadbeen made with the knowledge and acquiescence of its officers and direct-ors. The learned judge who delivered the opinion (Mr. Justice Swayne)cited numerous State decisions, only referring to the cases in Vermont asbeing in conflict with the weight of adjudications, and based the conclu-sion of the court upon the doctrine that " gross negligence on the part ofa gratuitous bailee, though not a fraud, was equivalent thereto in legaleffect, and that the doctrine of ultra vires has no application in favor of acorporation when guilty of a wrong."]

XL A national bank receiving a special deposit for safe-keeping, without reward,is liable only for gross negligence. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff,and gross negligence is not the omission of that care which every attentiveand diligent person takes of his own goods, but the omission of that carewhich the most inattentive takes. (First National Bank, $c, vs. Bex, 89Perm., p. 308.)

In Pattison vs. Syracuse Bank, 80 N. Y., 82, the case of Nafl Bank of Lyonsvs. Ocean National Bank is substantially overruled, following the ruling inNat11 Bank vs. Graham. See also First National Bank of Mansfield vs. Zent(supreme court of State of Ohio).

XII. AUTHORITY OF BANK TO APPLY DEPOSIT IN PAYMENT OF DEBTS.—Wherea de-positor in a bank is indebted to the bank by bill, note, or other independentindebtedness, the bank has a right to apply so much of the funds of thedepositor to the payment of his matured indebtedness as may be necessaryto satisfy the same. (Appellate court, first district, held at Chicago. HomeNational Bank vs. Newton.)

So, where the bank held the note of a depositor for a certain sum, thebank could, on the morning of the last day of grace upon such note, applyto its payment any money of the depositor then remaining on deposit insuch bank.—[Chicago Legal News.]

DIRECTORS OF NATIONAL BANKS.I. Directors of a national bank may remove the president, both under the law

of Congress and the articles of association, where the latter so provide.The power exists if the bank has adopted no by-laws. (Taylor vs. Mutton,43 Barb., N. Y. Sup. Court, p. 195; S. C, 18 Abb. Pr. E.,p. 16.)

II. In all cases where an act is to be done by a corporate body, a majority of thewhole number of directors is necessary to constitute a valid meeting ; butat a meeting when a quorum is present the majority of those present mayact. A by-law adopted when less than a majority is present is void.(Lockwood vs. American National Bank, 9 Rhode Island, p. 308.)

(See Title " OFFICERS,v post.)III. The power to compromise or release claims in favor of a bank is in the board

of directors and not within the scope of the cashier's authority. (ChemicalBank vs. Kohner, 8 Daly [A7. F.], p. 530.)

IV. In Bostwick vs. Brinkerhoffn suit was begun in the supreme court of the Stateof New York, by a stockholder of the National Bank of Fishkill, to recoverdamages from the directors for their neglect of their official duties. Ademurrer was filed to the complaint, which raised, among others, the qnes-tion whether such an action could be brought in a State court. Thesupreme court of the State sustained the demurrer and dismissed the com-plaint. The judgment was affirmed at general term. An appeal was takento the court of appeals, where the judgment of the general term was re-versed, and the case was remitted to the supreme court to be proceededupon according to law. A writ of error was taken to the Supreme Courtof the United States, which decided that a judgment of reversal by a Statecourt with leave for further proceedings in the court of original juris-diction is not subject to review in the United States Supreme Court.(Supreme Court, 106 U. S.)

V. Acker man vs. Halsey was a suit brought in the circuit court of Essex County,New Jersey, by a stockholder of the Mechanics' National Bank of Newark,N. J., against a director of that bank, to recover the value of stock lost bythe insolvency of the bank through the negligence of directors. The de-fendant demurred on the ground that directors could not be sued for injury

by an individual stockholder, but only by the corporation or receiver.Judge Depue sustained the demurrer, stating that such suits should bebrought by the receiver in behalf of the corporation, its creditors andstockholders, but that if the receiver refused to bring such suit, any stock-holder might do so, joining with himself all other stockholders. This de-cision was rendered in April, 1882.

VI. Conivay vs. Halsey, New Jersey Supreme Court. Bankers' Magazine for November f1883, p. 378. This was a suit brought by a stockholder of the Mechanics'National Bank of Newark, N. J., against the president and directors, forneglect and mismanagement, &c. It was demurred to on grounds similarto the preceding case, and the demurrer was sustained. The plaintiff alsoheld that he had the right to recover under section 5239 of the RevisedStatutes. On this point the judge held that that statute only applied whenthe charter of the corporation was forfeited on account of willful violationof law on the part of the directors. In this case the plaintiff did not show-any willful violation of law by which a direct injury was done to the stock-holders. The injuries received were indirect, because the directors werealleged to have permitted, by their negligence, the property of the corpo-ration to be squandered, purloined, or lost.

EMBEZZLEMENT.I. When the president of a national bank, having charge of its funds, converts

them to his own use, he embezzles and abstracts them within section 55 (R. S.,sec. 5209) of the national bank act, unless he shows authority for thus usingthem. (In the matter of Van Campen, 2 Benedict, p. 419, per Blatchford, J.)

II. Although false entries in regard to such embezzlement are made on the booksof such bank by the clerk, but by the order of the president, the latter ischargeable as principal; and the intent to defraud the bank is to be inferredfrom the fact of such embezzlement. (Ibid.)

III. The cashier of a national bank was indicte.d under said section 55 for embez-zling and willfully misapplying the moneys of the bank with intent to de-fraud, &c. On trial it was proved that defendant took the moneys of thebank and used them in stock speculations, carried on in his own name, bydepositing the same with a stock broker as " margins" for stock bought onhis own account. Meld, that the intent to injure or defraud was conclusivelypresumed upon proof of the act charged ; and, therefore, evidence was notadmissible to prove that the cashier used the funds with the knowledge andconsent of the president and some of the directors of the bank, and on ac-count of and for the benefit of the bank. (United States vs. Taintor, 11Blatchf,p. 374.)

[NOTE.—This last case was decided in the United States circuit court,southern district of New York, Woodruff, Blatchford, and Benedict, JJ., allconcurring in the decision.]

IV. A State court has no jurisdiction of the crime of embezzlement by an officerof a national bank situated within the State. (Commonwealth vs. Felton, 101Mass., p. 204 ; State vs. Tuller, 34 Conn., p. 280.) But in this latter case itwas also held that while a teller of such bank could not be punished forembezzling the funds of the bank, he could be convicted, under the statuteof the State, for purloining property deposited with such bank for safe-keeping ; and in Commonwealth vs. Barry, 116 Mass., p. 1, it was decidedthat though an officer of a national bank, who has stolen its property, maybe subject to punishment for embezzlement under the national law, he mayalso be punished for the same act, as a larceny, under the statute of theState.

ESTATE, REAL.I. The want of power of a bank, or of its trustee (receiver) in insolvency, to

purchase and hold real estate, does not render void an arrangement where-by land subject to a lien in favor of the bank, and to other liens, is dis-charged of those other liens by funds from the assets of the bank, the landbeing then sold, and the entire proceeds of such sale realized to the bankassets, provided the title does not pass through the bank or its trustees.(Zantzingers vs. Gunlon, 19 Wall.,}). 32.)

1L In Union National Banket al. vs. Mathews, 98 U. S., p. 658, the court recog-nized the doctrine that, " where a corporation is incompetent by its charterto take a title to real estate, a conveyance to it is not void, but only void-able, and the sovereign alone can object. It is valid unless assailed in adirect proceeding instituted for that purpose."

ESTATE, REAL—Continued.

[NOTE.—Thus it would seem that a mortgage executed to secure a presentloan, or any other conveyance of real estate to a national bank, must beheld valid until declared void in a direct proceeding instituted for that pur-pose by the United States Government.]

(See, also, Wroten's Assignee vs. Armat, 31 Grattan, p. 238.)III. The title to real estate taken by a national bank, on adjustment of a Liabil-

ity in its favor, must be held valid until attacked by the United States, indirect proceedings instituted for that purpose. Such title cannot be im-peached collaterally, in an ejectment suit. (Mapes et at. vs. Scott et al.994, III., p. 379; National Bank vs. Whitney, 106 V. S., p. 99 ; Graham vs. Na-tional Bank, 32 X. J. Eq., p. 804; Warner vs. Dewitt, 4 III. App., p. 305.)

(See, also, Title il LOANS ON REAL ESTATE," post.)

ESTOPPEL.I. A shareholder in a national bank, who has participated in its transactions as

such, and received dividends, is estopped from denying the legality of itsincorpoiation. The same rule applies to one accustomed to deal with anational bank as such, as by giving his promissory note to such bank.(Wheelock vs. Kost, 77 III., p. 296; National Bank of Fair haven vs. PhoenixWarehousing Company, 6 Hun. [2V. Y.~\, p. 71; Casey vs. Galli, 94 U. S., p.673, and numerous cases therein cited.)

II. The Manufacturers' National Bank of Chicago, defendant, being the city corre-spondent of the People's Bank of Belleville, plaintiff, guaranteed to the latterbank the payment of certain notes of one Picket, pursuant to an agreementthat thus guaranteed their amount should be, as it teas, debited to the accountof the Belleville Bank. Such agreement, and the guarantee in pursuancethereof, were made by the vice-president of the defendant bank, with theassent of the president and cashier, but without the assent of the directors.Held, that under the circumstances the defendant bank was estopped fromsetting up, as a defense, that such guarantee was ultra vires. {People's Bankvs. National Bank, 101 U. S., p. 181.)

[NOTE.—It will be observed that this decision stops far short of legaliz-ing naked accommodation paper made by a national bank.]

111. A national bank which has wrongfully converted to its own use the propertyof another, is estopped from denying its liability to account therefor uponthe ground that it received and held the property in carrying on the busi-ness of a warehousman, outside the powers conferred by its charter. {Ger-man National Bank vs. Meadowcroft, 2 Thomp. Cases, p. 462. Sup. Court III.)

EVIDENCE.I. Even if it be within the authority of the president of a national bank to bind

the bank by an agreement with the acceptor of a draft, which is discountedby the bank, not to enforce the draft against him, yet oral evidence of suchan agreement is not competent in defense of a suit by the bank against theacceptor. {Davis vs. Randall, 115 Mass., p. 547.)

II. The certificate of the Comptroller of the organization of a national bank isconclusive evidence as to the completeness of such organization, in a suitagainst one of its shareholders. {Casey vs. Galli, ante; Thatcher vs. WestRiver National Bank, 19 Mich., p. 196.)

III. In ordering an assessment for the payment of the debts of an insolvent bank,the stock certificates and stock ledger of the bank must be taken by theComptroller of the Currency, in the absence of fraud or mistake, as show-ing who the stockholders were at the time of the failure. {Davis vs. EssexBaptist Society, 44 Conn., p. 582.)

IV. The maker of a certificate of deposit cannot overcome its effect, as proof ofa deposit actually made, except by clear and satisfactory evidence. (FirstNational Bank of Lacon vs. Meyers, 83 III., p. 507).

INTEREST.I. Under section 30, act of 1864, a national bank in any State may take as high

rate of interest as by the laws of such State a natural person may stipu-late for, although State banks of issue are restricted to a less rate. (Tiffanyvs. National Bank of the State of Missouri, 18 Wall., p. 409.)

il. As the action was virtually brought to recover the penalty for usury, thestatute (section 30) must receive a strict construction. (Ibid., p. 409.)

[NOTE.—In Missouri, natural persons may take ten per cent., but Statebanks are restricted to eight per cent. In this case the national bank hadtaken nine per cent: Held, legal.]

90 REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

INTEREST—Continued.

III. In a suit by a national bank uix>n a bill of exchange discounted by it, theacceptor cannot set up by way of counter-claim, or set-off, that the bankin discounting a series of bills of said acceptor, the proceeds of which itused to pay other bills, knowingly took, and was paid, a greater rate ofinterest than that allowed by law. (Barnett vs. National Bank, 98 TJ. 8. [8Otto'], p. 555.)

IV. The act of June 3, 1864 (R. S., sec. 5198), having prescribed that, as a pen-alty for such taking, the person paying such unlawful interest, or his legalrepresentative, may in an action of debt against the bank recover back twicethe amount so paid, he can resort to no other mode or form of procedure.(Brown vs. Second National Bank of Erie, 72 Pa., p. 209; Barnett vs. Na-tional Bank, 98 U. S., p. 555.)

[NOTE.—The above case of Barnett vs. National Bank, 98 TJ. S., p. 555,overrules several State adjudications, and settles several points in regardto usurious interests as affecting loans by national banks. It holds thatwhen suit is brought by such bank to recover a loan made at usurious rate,stipulated for, but not paid, the entire interest thus agreed upon, but nopart of the principal, is forfeited, and the latter may be recovered in full;that when the usurious interest has been paid, twice its sum may be recov-ered by the borrower, but this can only be done by a suit directly broughtfor that purpose, which suit must be in the nature of an action of debt,commenced, of course, within the two years specified. Suppose, then, Aborrows $1,000 from a national bank on 90 days' time, and for the loan act-ually pays usurious interest in advance. Suppose his paper is protestedand suit is brought upon it. It follows that while A cannot offset twicethe usurious interest he has paid, nor any part thereof, in reduction of theface of his paper, the bank can recover from him not only the principal ofthe loan, but legal interest thereon from the date of maturity of the noteor bill.]

(See, also, Natl. Bank vs. Bearing, 91 TJ. S.,p. 29, and Title "USURY,"post.)

V. ON CLAIMS OF CREDITORS.—Where a national bank is put in charge of areceiver, under section 50 of the original Currency Act (R. S., sec. 5234),and a sufficient sum is realized from its assets to pay all claims against itand leave a surplus, th«* Comptroller ought to allow interest on the claimsduring the period of administration, before appropriating the surplus tothe stockholders of the bank. An action of assumpsit by the holder ofsuch a claim will not lie against the Comptroller, nor against the receiver,but will lie against the bank. (Chemical National Bank vs. Bailey, 12Blatchf, p. 480.)

VI. In such action interest is recoverable on all demands originating in contractconditioned for the payment of interest, and on all demands for money dueand unpaid, by way of damages for non-payment after such demands be-came due. And interest is recoverable on a balance due a depositor in suchbank, although he has made no formal demand of payment. (Ibid.) But,as to this last point, see the ruling of the Supreme Court.

VI f. In the case of National Bank of the Commonwealth vs. Mechanics1 National Bank,4 Otto, p. 437, the United States Supreme Court decided that a depositor ina national bank, when it suspends payment and a receiver is appointed, isentitled from the date of his demand to interest on the deposit; that theclaims of depositors in such bank at date of suspension, for t i e amount oftheir deposits, are, when proved to the satisfaction of the Comptroller ofthe Currency, placed upon the same footing as if reduced to judgments;that is to say, they draw interest from tjhe time of such proof and allowance.It was also decided that, such interest being a liquidated sum at the timeof the payment of the deposit, an action lies to recover it, and intercut thereon.

VIII. When the Comptroller assesses shareholders to pay the debts of an insolventnational bank, such assessment bears interest from the date of the Comp-troller's order. (Casey^ vs. Galli, ante.)

IX. A statute of New York, fixing the rate of interest at 7 per cent., also makesforfeiture of principal and interest the penalty for taking interest at agreater rate. Notwithstanding this statute, the courts of that State haveheld that the payee of a promissory note may, in good faith, sell and indorseit to a third party for a sum agreed upon, amounting as discount to anyrate in excess of that prescribed by law ; that such purchaser may recoverfrom the maker principal and interest iu full, and that if it be necessary toresort to the indorser, the purchaser may recover against him the actualsum paid for the note with interest.

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 91

INTEREST—Contin ued.

Acting upon these adjudications, a national bank in that State discountedfor a customer notes (all paid at maturity) for sums aggregating $2,735.36in excess of the legal rate of interest. Subsequently the seller sued thebank to recover, under sections 5197 and 5198 of the national bank act, thepenalties therein prescribed, to wit, double the aggregate paid.

In the State courts the plaintiff had judgment as prayed, and on writ oferror to the court of appeals of New York, the Supreme Court of the UnitedStates affirmed the judgment below ; holding that,

"Although under the laws of New York a contract between natural per-sons to reserve and pay upon the discount of business paper any stipulatedrate of interest (discount) may be valid, such contract, if a national bankbe party thereto, and the paper be, in pursuance thereof, transferred to it,is in violation of said sections, if the rate agreed upon exceeds 7 per cent.,and subjects such bank to the penalties therein prescribed. (National Bankvs. Johnson, 104 U. S., 271.)

JUDGMENTS.I. A judgment against a national bank in the hands of a receiver, upon a claim,

only establishes the validity of such claim; the plaintiff can have no exe-cution on such judgment, but must await pro rata distribution. (Bank ofBethel vs. Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., p. 383, and Clifford, J., p. 402.)

JURISDICTION.I. A United States District Court has jurisdiction to authorize a receiver of an

insolvent national bank to compromise a debt. (Matter of Platt, 1 Ben., p.534.)

II. A resident (citizen) of Kentucky was a creditor of a national bank located inAlabama, and commenced a suit on his claim against said bank in the su-preme court of the State of New York, at the same time attaching certainmoneys belonging to said bank, in the hands of the National Park Bank, inNew York. Subsequently the receiver of the Alabama bank (which hadfailed) was, on his own motion, made party defendant to the action pendingin the New York supreme court, and pleaded " want of jurisdiction" andother defenses. The supreme court overruled his plea to the jurisdiction,rendered judgment against the receiver on the merits, and ordered satisfac-tion to be made from the moneys attached. Thereupon the receiver filedhis bill in chancery in the United States Circuit Court for the proper circuit,praying an injunction to restrain the collection of the judgment rendered bysaid supreme court, and that the moneys attached be paid to him as receiver.Held, that, by the provisions of the Currency Act, the State court was de-prived of jurisdiction of the attachment proceedings ; that the receiver wasnot estopped by the proceedings in said State court from asserting hisrights in said Circuit Court, and that he was entitled to the relief prayedfor in his bill. (Cadle, receiver, <fc, vs. Tracy, 11 Blatchf, p. 101.)

(See, also, Title " RECEIVERS,"VII, post.)III. State courts have no jurisdiction of actions to recover penalties imposed by

the national bank act. (Newell vs. National Bank of Somerset, 12 Bush.y^p

See, also, Title "EMBEZZLEMENT," IV, ante.)IV. The United States Circuit Court has no jurisdiction of a suit by a private per-

son to restrain or interfere with the Treasurer of the United States or theComptroller of the Currency in the discharge of their duties in respect tobonds deposited to secure the redemption of circulating notes of a nationalbank. ( Fan Antwerp vs. Hubbard, Blatchf.,p. 426.)

V. An action will not lie against the Comptroller nor the receiver, upon a claimagainst an insolvent national bank, but will lie against such bank. (Chem-ical National Bank vs. Bailey, ante. See, also, Bank of Bethel vs. PahquioqueBank, ante.)

VI. A national bank cannot be sued in the United States District Courts outsideof the district where it is located. (Main vs. Second Nat. Bank of Chicago,6 Bissellyp. 2(5.)

VII. Nor can such action be brought against a national bank in a State court, savein the county or city where it is located. (Crocker vs. Marine National Bankt101 Mass.,p. 240.)

(See, also, Title "ACTION," VII, ante ; also "EMBEZZLEMENT," IV, ante.VIII. The provision of section 5198, U. S. Rev. Stats., requiring that suits, actions,

and proceedings against a national bank in any State, county, or municipalcourt must be brought in the county in which such bank is located, is held

JURISDICTION—Continued.

to apply to transitory actions only, and not to such actions as are by lawlocal in their character. (Casey,receiver,^c, vs. Adams, 2 Thomp. Cases,p.102. U. S. Supreme Court.)

[NOTE.—The jurisdiction of the local court was sustained in this cause,although it seemed clear that a complete remedy might have been had inthe U. S. Circuit Court at New Orleans, where the bank was situated.]

IX. National banks are not entitled, by force of the national bank act, to haveany suit in a State court, wherein they are parties defendant, removed to aFederal court. ( Wilder vs. Union Nat. Bank, 2 Thomp. Cases,p. 124.)

X. National banks are not authorized to sue in the Federal courts out of the dis-tricts in which they are located when the amount sued for does not exceed$500. (St. Louis Bank vs. Brinkham, 1 McCrary, 9.)

[NOTE.—As to present jurisdiction of Federal and State courts, see actof Congress of July 12,1882,proviso to section 4.]

LOANS IN EXCESS.I. A loan by a national bank in excess of the restriction of section 29 of the act

of 1864 (Revised Statutes, section 5200), which provides that the total lia-bilities of any person (borrower) shall not exceed ten per centum of thecapital stock, &c, is not void on that account. The loan maybe enforced,though the bank maybe liable to proceedings for forfeiture of its privileges,&c, for making it. (Stewart vs. National Union Bank of Maryland, 2 Abb.,United States, p. 424. See, also, O'Hare vs. Second National Bank, 77 Pa.,

p. 96.)II. In Samuel M. Shoemaker vs. The National Mechanics- Bank and The same vs.

The National Union Bank, application for injunction, &c, United States Cir-cuit Court, Baltimore, Md., Judge Giles held, * * * "As to the firstcharge in this bill against the defendant, in reference to the amount loanedto Bayne & Co., in violation of the twenty-ninth section of the act of June3, 1864, I would only say that the loan made under such circumstances isnot void ; it can be enforced as any other loan made by the bank." ( Vide31 Md.,p. 396.)

III. The validity of a loan in excess of the above-named statutory restriction wasestablished and set at rest by the decision of the United States SupremeCourt in the case of Gold Mining Company vs. Rocky Mountain NationalBank, 96 U. S. [6 Otto'], p. 640.

LOANS ON REAL ESTATE.I. A executed a note to B, and, to secure payment thereof, also executed a deed

of trust on lands, which was in effect a mortgage, with a power of salethereto annexed. A national bank, on the security of the note and deed,loaned money to B, who thereupon assigned them to the bank. The notenot being paid at maturity, the trustee was proceeding to sell the landspursuant to the power, when A filed a bill in chancery to enjoin the sale,upon the ground that by sections 5136-'37, Revised Statutes, the deed didnot inure as a security for a loan made by the bank at the time of theassignment of said note and deed: Held, that the bank was entitled to en-force collection of the note by a sale of the lands pursuant to the power inthe deed of trust. ( Union National Bank of Saint Louis vs. Matthews, 98 U. S.[8 Otto~\, p. 621.) Mr. Justice Miller dissented, holding the note valid, butthat the deed was inoperative as security to the bank.

[NOTE.—It is now well settled that a mortgage given to secure a loanfrom a national bank, executed directly to the bank when the loan is made,

. is valid, unless set aside by proceedings instituted for that purpose by theGovernment. (National Bank vs. Whitney, 103 U. S., p. 99; Graham vs.National Bank, 32 N. J. Eq., p. 804; Warner vs. Dewitt, 4 III. App., p. 305;Thornton vs. Exchange National Bank, 71 Mo., 221.)]

LOANS ON SHARES.I. National banks are governed by the act of 1864, which repealed the act of

1863, and cannot, therefore, make loans on the security of their own shares,unless to secure a pre-existing debt, contracted in good faith. (Bank, tfc,vs. Lanier, 11 Wall,p. 369.)

II. The placing of funds by one bank on permanent deposit with another bankis a loan within the spirit of section 35 of act of 1864. (Ibid., p. 369.)

III. Loans by such banks to their shareholders do not cieate a lien on the sharesof such borrowers. (Ibid., p. 369.)

(See, also, Bullard vs. Bank, 18 Wall., p. 580; and " BY-LAWS," supra,)

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 93

LOANS ON SHARES—Continued.

IV. But a national bank has the right to make loans on negotiable notes securedby the stock of another corporation, of marketable values. (Shoemaker vs.National Mechanics' Bank, 1 Hugh., p. 101.) The same doctrine was alsoheld in the case of Germania National Bank et al. vs. F. F. Case, receiver, <f c,decided by the United States Supreme Court, 99 U. S. [9 Otto], p. 628.

LOCATION.I. Under sections 6, 8, 10, 15, 18, and 44 of the original Currency Act (13 Stat.

at Large, 101), respecting the location of banking associations, a nationalbank is to be regarded as located at the place specified in its organizationcertificate. If such a place is in a State, the association is located in thatState. (Manufacturers' National Bank vs. Baack, 8 Blatchf, p. 137.)

OFFICERS.I. CASHIER. The cashier is the general executive officer of a bank, having

charge of its funds, notes, bills, and other choses in action. Either directlyor through his subordinates he receives all moneys and notes of the bank,delivers up discounted paper when paid, draws checks to withdraw fundsof the bank when deposited, and generally, as such executive officer, trans-acts most of the bank business. ( United States vs. City Bank of Columbus,21 How., p. 356, and numerous later decisions.)

II. But the cashier can make no declaration binding the bank not within thescope of his general powers. (Bank of Metropolis vs. Jones, 8 Pet., p. 12; S.P., 3 Watts <f 8., [Pa.], p. 317; 3 Gill [Jfd.], P- 96.)

III. A cashier who has made sale of corporate property, and holds a balance in hishands, is the agent of the board of directors, and not of the respectivestockholders, and cannot be charged by an individual stockholder as hold-ing such balance for his benefit. (Brown vs. Adams, 5 Biss., p. 181.)

IV. A cashier, without special authority, cannot bind his bank by an official in-dorsement of his individual note, and the onus is on the payee to show suchauthority. (West Saint Louis Savings Bank vs. Shawnee Co. Bank, 3 Dill,p. 403.)

V. Although the cashier of a bank may, in the ordinary course of business, with-out the action of the directors, dispose of the negotiable securities of thebank, he has not the power to pledge its assests for the payment of an ante-cedent debt. (State of Tennessee vs. Davis, 50 How. IN. Z.], p. 447.)

VI. A cashier has not the authority to compromise or release a claim of the bank.(Chemical Bank vs. Kohner, 8 Daley [iV. Y.], p. 530.)

VII. DIRECTORS. It is the duty of directors of a bank to use ordinary diligencein acquiring knowledge of its business. They cannot be heard, when sued,to say that they were not apprised of facts the existence of which is shownby the books, accounts, and correspondence of the bank. They should con-trol the subordinate officers of the bank in all important transactions.Therefore, under the circumstances proved in this particular case, theywere held liable for the abstraction and sale of special deposits by the lat-ter. ( United Society, $c, vs. Underwood, 9 Bush [Ky.~\, p. 609; German Bankvs. WulfekiMer, 19 Kansas, p. 60.)

VIII. The cashier of a national bank, who had executed no bond, embezzled itsfunds, discovery whereof might have been effected by use of slight dili-gence on the part of the directory. They, however, published, accordingto law, a statement of the condition of the bank, which showed that itsaffairs were being prudently and honestly administered, and from whichthe public had aright to believe that he*was trustworthy. Afterwards,persons who had seen this report became sureties on the official bond ofcashier, and for his subsequent embezzlements were sought to be held liablethereon : Held, that such sureties, being misled by the statement, were re-leased. They had a right to believe that the directors, before publishingit, investigated the condition of the bank. (Graves vs. Lebanon NationalBank, 10 Bush [Ky.~\, p. 23.)

IX. The mere fact that directors of a bank knew of and sanctioned overdrafts willnot release from liability the sureties of a teller who causes a loss to thebank by permitting overdrafts; for the directors of a bank have no powerto sanction overdrafts. (Market Street Bank vs. Stumpe, 2 Mo., App., 545.)

X. PRESIDENT. A guarantee against loss for signing as sureties, given by a bankpresident without authority from the directors, to those whom he had so-licited thus to sign a note, given to the bank to retire a prior note held byit against their principal, is held to be the individual contract of the pres-ident, and not binding upon the bank. (First National Bank vs. Bennett, 33Mich., p. 520.)

OFFICERS—Continued.

XL A president of a bank bought the stock of A. for $1,000, and in paymentgave up to A. his note for that amount, which the bank held against A:Held, that the president exceeded his powers, and that the bank could re-cover from A. the amount of the note thus surrendered. (RhoadsYS. Webb,24 Minn., p. 292.)

XII. A president of a bank, who, with the cashier, had the general charge of itsbusiness, permitted and directed the drawing of moneys from the bank byone irresponsible, without security, and for a business in which the presi-dent was interested with the party drawing the funds. He requested thecashier not to say anything of it to the directors: Held, that the presidentwas personally responsible for the moneys thus drawn. (First National Bankof Sturgis vs. Reid, 37 Mich., p. 263.) Quere: Would not an indictment forembezzlement lie under the national bank act?

XIII. The president of a bank, as such, has no authority to release the claims of thebank against any one. Such authority must come from the directors, byvote or implication. (Olnet/ vs. Chadsey, 1 R. I., p. 224.) Nor can he bindthe bank to pay or become liable for a debt by his admission. (Henry vs.Northern Bank, 63 Ala., p. 527.)

XIV. In reference to what do not constitute offenses under section 5209 of theRevised Statutes (see case of United States vs. Jas. H. Britton, <fc, U. 8.Sup. Court, October term, I8rt2).

XV. A draft indorsed by the president of the Miners' National Bank of George-town, Colo., payable to White or order for account of the bank: Held,that the bank could not be held on the draft, but that White was entitledto recover the money advanced for the use of the bank, as appeared by thebooks of the latter, whether it was advanced without consideration orupon the draft as collateral. ( White vs. National Bank, 102 U. S., p. 658.)

XVI. AUTHORITY OF BANK CASHIER.

A banking corporation, whose charter does not otherwise provide, maybe represented by its cashier in transactions outside of his ordinary dutieswithout his authority to do so being in writing or appearing in the recordsof the proceedings of the directors.

His authority may be by parol, and collected from circumstances, or im-plied from the conduct or acquiescence of the directors.

It may be inferred, from the general manner in which, for a period suffi-ciently long to establish a settled course of business, he has been sufferedby the directors, without interference or inquiry, to conduct the affairs ofthe bank.

When, during a series of years, or in numerous business transactions, hehas been permitted, in his official capacity, and without objection, to pur-sue a particular course of conduct, it may be presumed, as between thebank and those who in good faith deal with it upon the basis of his author-ity to represent the corporation, that he has acted in conformity with in-structions received from those who have the right to control its operations.

That which directors ought, by proper diligence, to have known, as tothe general course of the bank's business, they may be presumed to haveknown in any contest between the corporation and those who are justifiedby the circumstances in dealing with it upon the basis of that course ofbusiness. (Supreme Court of the United States, October term, 1883, Martin vs.Webb.)

XVII. LIABILITY OF CASHIFJ'R.

1. Where directors of a corporation appoint one of their number to act astreasurer, secretary, or other ministerial officer of the corporation, he isprima facie entitled to reasonable compensation for his services as suchofficer.

2. Where he assumes the duties of such ministerial officer upon an expresscontract as to compensation, such contract controls, and this, though thecontract is to discharge the duties without any direct compensation inmoney.

3. An agent of a corporation, who, as an individual, purchases the prop-erties of the corporation from himself as agent, cannot uphold such pur-chase by proof that he agreed to pay what he thought the property wasworth, but is liable to the corporation for the actual value of the propertyso by him purchased.

4. Ratification implies knowledge, and a party cannot be adjudged tohave ratified an act of which he has no knowledge, actual or constructive.

OFFICERS—Continued.XVII. LIABILITY OF CASHIER—Continued.

5. The doctrine that the directors of a bank are conclusively presumed toknow the financial condition of the bank, its general business, and its re-ceipts and expenditures as shown by its regular books, is for the protectionof third parties dealing with the bank, andfof the bank against prejudicialaction of any director, and cannot be invoked to uphold a wrongful appro-priation of moneys by the cashier or other officer, which appropriation ismade and also entered upon the books of the bank without the actual knowl-edge of the directors. {Supreme Court of Kansas ; The First National Bank ofFort Scott vs. Drake.)

6. It is no defense to an action brought by a bank against its late cashierfor a wrongful appropriation of moneys, that at the time of such appropri-ation he was the owner of four-fifths of the stock of the bank, and has sincethat time sold all of said stock to other parties, who are now the officersand managing authority of the bank.

XVIII. A., the president of defendant, a national bank in Vermont, applied to theplaintiff, a banking corporation in Canada, for a loan for his railroad of§50,000 which he had been unable to obtain from defendant. Plaintiff'smanager told him the money could not be loaned as an individual loan,as its individual loans were too near the limit allowed by law, but that itwould deposit that amount with defendant if desired.

A. assented, and they agreed the deposit should draw interest at 6 percent, while it remained, and that bonds should be deposited as security.Plaintiff drew two drafts for the amount on a Boston bank, delivered themto defendant and received the collaterals, and entered the transaction onits books as a loan to defendant. Defendant indorsed the drafts, forwardedthem to the Boston bank, from which it received credit for them, and hasalways retained their avails. About a year afterwards defendant failed,and a receiver was appointed who rejected the claim of plaintiff whenpresented for payment, and defendant brought suit. Held, that the trans-action was not a loan to A. individually, but to defendant; that plaintiffwas entitled to a judgment, to be paid by the Comptroller from the assetsratably with other claims; and that the amount due should be adjustedas of the time when the receiver was appointed, and so certified by thereceiver to the Comptroller, to be paid in due course of administration.(Eastern Township Bank vs. Vermont Nat. Bank of St. Albans and Another,Federal Reporter, Vol. 22, p. 186.)

POST-NOTES.I. Certificates of deposit, payable at a fixed future day, held to be equivalent to

post-notes, and therefore void, as prohibited by a State law.(See, ante, Title " DEPOSITS, CERTIFICATES OF," IV, and cases there cited.)

POWER OF ATTORNEY TO COLLECT PAYMENT OF GOVERNMENT BOND.A power of attorney authorizing an agent to "sell and assign " a Govern-

ment bond " called" for payment gives authority to the agent to assign tothe Secretary of the Treasury for redemption, and to receive in payment adraft drawn by the Treasurer of the United States to the agent by name,who can indorse it for collection or payment. (Decision by United StatesComptroller Lawrence.)

RECEIVERS.I. The receiver of a national bank is the instrument of the Comptroller, and

may be removed by him. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, 8 Wall, p. 505.)II. Such receiver is the statutory assignee of the assets of the bank, and may sue

to collect the same in his own name, or in the name of the bank for his use.(Ibid., p. 506.)

III. In such suit it is not necessary to make the bank or creditors parties. (Ibid.,p. 506.)

IV. The receiver of a national bank represents such bank and its creditors, buthe in no sense represents the United States Government, and cannot subjectthe Government to the jurisdiction of any court. (Case vs. Terrill, 11 Wall.,p 199.)he decision of a receiver, rejecting a claim against his bank, is not final.Claimant may still sue. (Batik of Bethel vs. Pahquioque Bank, 14 Wall., p.383.)

VI. The clause of seetion 50, act of 1864, which prescribes that the receiver shallbe " under the direction of the Comptroller/' means only that he shall besubject to his direction, not that he shall not act without orders. He mayand must collect the assets. That is what he is appointed for. (Bradley, J.in Bank vs. Kennedy, 17 Wall., pp. 22-3.)

RECEIVERS—Continued.

VII. Receivers of national banks are officers of the United States, within the mean-/ ing of the act of Congress of March 3, 1815, giving United States courtsj urisdiction of actions by United States officers, and may sue in such courts.(Platt, receiver, tyc, vs. Beach, 2 Ben., p. 303.)

[NOTE.—The judge places stress upon the provision of section 31 of theact of 1864, which requires (in that particular instance) that the Secretaryof the Treasury shall concur in the appointment of the receiver.]

VIII. Receiver not liable to be sued on a claim against the bank.(See Title " JURISDICTION," V, ante.)

IX. The personal assets and personal property of an insolvent national bank inthe hands of a receiver appointed by the Comptroller of the Currency, inaccordance with the provision of section 5234 of the Revised Statutes, inlegal contemplation still belong to the bank, though in the hands of thereceiver to be administered under the law. The bank does not cease toexist on appointment of the receiver. Its corporate capacity continuesuntil its affairs are finally wound up and its assets distributed. (Rosenblattvs. Johnston, Chief Justice Waite, United States Supreme Court, October term,1881.)

X. A new receiver may be substituted as plaintiff and appellant in suits begunby his predecessor. (Orson Adams, substituted for George E. Bowden, receiver',vs. Jacob C. Johnson and Betsey Valentine, United States Supreme Court, Octo-ber term, 1882.) This case was appealed from the United States circuitcourt of New Jersey. When the bill was dismissed in the lower court, anew receiver had been appointed. The appeal was taken in the name ofthe old receiver, the new receiver becoming surety on the appeal bond.In the Supreme Court a motion on the part of the appellees to dismiss theappeal on the ground that DO appeal was lawfully taken was denied, anda motion on the part of appellant to substitute new receiver as plaintiffand appellant was granted.

XL Under section 1001 of the Revised Statutes no bond for the prosecution of thesuit, or to answer in damages and costs, is required on writs of error orappeals issuing from or brought to this court by direction of the Comp-troller of the Currency in suits by or against insolvent national banks, orthe receivers thereof. (Pacfiic National Bank vs. George Mixter, United StatesSupreme Court, October term, 1884.)

SET-OFF.I. In an action brought to enfore the individual liabilitiy of a shareholder of

an insolvent bank, such shareholder cannot set off against such liabilitythe amount due to him as a creditor of the bank. (Garrison vs. Howe, 17N. Y.,p. 458 : In re Empire City Bank, 18 N. Y., p. 199.)

[NOTE.—Though these cases were decided by a State tribunal (New Yorkcourt of appeals), and the rulings were based upon provisions of a State con-stitution and a State statute, yet the principle they enunciate is recognizedand fully affirmed in Sawyer vs. Hoag, 17 Wall., p. 610, and Scammon vs.Kirnball,2Otto,2>.*342. See, also, Venango National Bank vs. Taylor, 56 Pa.,i?.14.j

II. A creditor of an insolvent national bank, being such at date of its suspension,may set off the amount of his claim against any claim held by the bankagainst him at the same date ; as, for example, his note, even though suchnote had not then matured. (Berry vs. Brett, 6 Bos. IN. F.], p. 627; NewAmsterdam Savings Bank vs. Gartter,b± How. [P. 22.],j?. 385; Platt, receiver,vs. Bentley, 11 Am. Law Register,p. 171; Hade, receiver, vs. McVay, 31 O. St.,p. 231; same case, Brown's National Bankrupt Cases, p. 353; and see the casescited on p. 357, viz, 56 Maine, 167 ; 1 Paige [N. F.], p. 444 ; 12 Gray IMass.],2>.233.) .

III. Usurious interest paid cannot be set off. (Hade vs. McVay, 31 0. St., p. 231;Barnet YS. National Bank, 98 U. £.,#.555.)

IV. The United States cannot set off an indebtedness to itself from a national bankagainst the surplus proceeds of bonds deposited by said bank as securityfor its circulation. (Cook Co. National Bank, and Aug. H. Burley, receiver ofsaid bank, appellants, vs. United States. U. S. Supreme Court, October term,1882.)

[NOTE.—This was on the grounds that the bonds are a trust, and a trusteecannot set off against the funds held by him in that character, his individ-ual demand against the grantor of the trust.]

REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 9 7

SHAREHOLDERS.

I. GENERAL RULES.—A person is presumed to be the owner of stock when hisname appears on the books of a company as a stockholder; and when he issued as such the burden of disproving such presumption is cast upon him.(Turnbull vs. Payson, 95 U. S. [5 Otto], p. 418.)

II. Shareholders have no standing in court to interfere for the protection of theircompany until the board of directors has neglected, or refused on appli-cation, to take the proper steps to protect the interests of the company.(Fifth National Bank, <fc. vs. Railroad Co., 2 Thomp. Cases, p. 190.)

III. Shares of stock in a national bank are salable and transferable like otherpersonal property; and the statute recognizes this transferability by au-thorizing each association to prescribe the manner of their transfer. (John-ston vs. Lafflin, 103 TJ. S., per Field, J., on p. 803.)

IV. This power can only go to the extent of prescribing conditions essential to theprotection of the association against fraudulent transfers, or such as aredesigned to evade just responsibility. It must be exercised reasonably.Transfer cannot be clogged with useless restrictions, nor be made depend-ent on the consent of directors or stockholders. (Ibid.)

V. As between the parties to a sale, it is enough that the certificate of stock isdelivered, with authority to the purchaser, or any one he may name, totransfer it on the books of the association, and payment of the price. (Ibid..jp. 804.)

VI. The entry of the transaction on the books of the association is required, notfor the translation of title, but for the protection of parties and othersdealing with the bank, to enable the bank to know who are its stockholders,entitled to vote and receive dividends. It is necessary to protect the selleragainst subsequent liability as stockholder, and perhaps also to protect thepurchaser against proceedings by creditors of the seller. (Ibid., Field, J.fp. 804.)

VII. When a national bank reduces its capital, each shareholder is entitled to areturn of his proportional amount, and the bank cannot retain the fundsas surplus, or for any other purpose; and having refused to permit sharesthus retired to be transferred on its books, the bank is liable for the valueof the shares to the holders. (Seeley vs. New York National Exchange Bank,4 Abb. New Cases, p. 61.)

VIII. INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY OF.—The Comptroller must decide when and for whatamount the personal liability of the shareholders of an insolvent nationalbank shall be enforced. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, 8 Wall., p. 505.)

IX. His decision as to this is conclusive. Shareholders cannot controvert it.(Ibid., p. 505; Casey vs. Galli, 94 U. S. [4 Otto], p. 673; Germunia NationalBank et al. vs. Case, receiver, TJ. S. Supreme Court, 99 Otto, p. 628.)

[NOTE.—These cases are decisive against the ruling in Bowden vs. Morris,1 Hugh., p. 378.]

X. In any suit brought to enforce such personal liability, such decision of theComptroller must be averred by the plaintiff, and, if put in issue, must beproved. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, supra.)

XL The liability of shareholders is several and not joint. (Ibid., p. 505.)XII. The limit of such liabilities is the par value of the stock held by each one,

(Ibid., p. 505.)XIII. Where the whole amount is sought to be recovered, the proceeding must be

at law; where less is required, the proceeding maybe in equity, and insuch case an interlocutory decree may be taken for contribution, and thecase may stand over for the further action of the court, if such actionshould subsequently prove to be necessary, until the full amount of theliability is exhausted. (Ibid., p. 505.)

XIV. In such equity suit, all shareholders within the j urisdiction of the court shouldbe made parties defendant; but it is no defense that those not within thejurisdiction are not joined. (Kennedy vs. Gibson, supra.)

XV. Suits to enforce personal liability of shareholders may properly be broughtbefore other assets are exhausted. (Ibid., pp. 505-6.)

XVI. One Stevens bought shares in a national bank, and caused them to be trans-ferred to one Elston, a porter in the office of his New York broker, and ir-responsible. At the time of the transfer there was no suspicion of the in-solvency of the bank, and it remained in good credit for more than a yearafterward: Held, that Stevens was liable as stockholder upon the failureof the bank. (Davis, receiver, vs. Stevens, 2 Thomp. Cases, p. 158, TJ. S. CircuitCourt Southern District N. Y., per Waite, C. J.)

XVII. Where, before the failure of a bank, stock was transferred on its books tothe name of an irresponsible person, for the purpose of escaping liability,

SHAREHOLDERS—Continued.

and so stood at tbe time of the appointment of a receiver: Held, that thereceiver could show who the real owner was, and that the latter was liablefor the assessment. (Ibid.)

XVIII. RATABLE LIABILITY OF.—Mr. Morse, in his Treatise on Banks, &c, secondedition, p. 50/5, states the law in substance as follows: "The liability ofeach stockholder is precisely for his ratable proportion of that indebtednessof the bank which is to be borne by the shareholders. It is for his shareof such total indebtedness, not for his proportion of each item thereof.Neither are the solvent shareholders, or those who can be come at for col-lection, liable to assessment beyond the proportional amount as abovestated, by reason of the insolvency or inaccessibility of others of the share-holders. Those who are solvent and accessible have not the burden ofpaying off the sum which is due from all together; only their own propor-tionate share." This theory was fully sustained by the United States Su-preme Court in the case of United States vs. Knox, 102 U. S.,p.A22. Seealso the cases there cited. When the holder of shares of national-bankstock has information causing apprehension of its failure, and colludes withand transfers his shares to an irresponsible transferee to avoid liability,the transaction will be deemed to be a fraud on the creditors of the bank,and the transferor will be held to his liability. The transfer is good asbetween the parties, however, and only voidable by election of plaintiff.This case isone of equitable cognizance, and either party may be held liable.(Orson Adams, substituted for George E. Bowden, receiver, vs. Jacob C. Johnsonand Betsey Valentine, U. S. Sup. Court, October term, 1882.)

XIX. LIABILITY OF EXECUTOH, ADMINISTRATOR, AND HEIRS OF.—Where stock-holder died, before failure of bank, stock not having been transferred toname of administrator: Held, that the stock is not to be regarded as hav-ing been at the time of the failure the property of the administrator, insuch a sense as to constitute him a shareholder within the meaning of sec.5152, U. S. Rev. Stat., so as to limit liability of the estate to funds actuallyin the hands of administrator: Held, also, that the provision of the act ex-empting executors, administrators, and trustee from personal liabilitywas not intended to affect the liability to assessments of estates in processof settlement, but only to prevent a personal liability from running againstpersons acting in a trust capacity, who had received the stock for thebenefit of trust estates. (Davis vs. Weed, 44 Conn., p. 569.)

XX. The liability of a stockholder is in the nature of a contract, and as such wasa personal liability, for which his estate was holden at his death. (Davisvs. Weed, supra, citing Hawthorne vs. Calef, 2 Wall., p. 22; Lowry vs. Jamen,46 N. Y., p. 119; Bailey vs. Hollisttr, 26 N. Y., p. 112.)

XXI. LIABILITY OF TRUSTEE OF.—To protect trustee of stock from personal lia-bility it must appear upon the books that he held as sueh trustee. (Davisvs. Essex Baptist Society, 44 Conn., p. 582.)

XXII. Creditors have a right to know who have pledged their personal liability.(Ibid.)

XXIII. If a trustee wishes to disclose his trusteeship, there is no difficulty in givingnotice upon the books of the bank. If he does not do so, he is guilty oflaches, for which others should not suffer. (Ibid.)

XXIV. The settlement of the affairs of an insolvent bank would be rendered a mat-ter of great labor, expense, and delay if persons who appeared upon thebooks of the bank as individual stockholders were permitted to relievethemselves by proof aliunde that they held the stock as executors, guard-ians, or trustees. (Ibid.)

[NOTE.—The last-cited case, and Davis vs. Weed, supra, although re-ported in the Connecticut Reports, were decided by the United StatesDistrict Court.]

XXV. LIABILITY OF TRANSFEREE OF.—The transferee of shares, when such transferis absolute on the books of the bank, is liable to creditors to the amount ofsuch shares, although in fact he holds them as collateral security for aloan to the shareholder who transferred them. (Hale vs. Walker, 3L Iowa,p. 614; Adderly vs. Storm, 6 Hill, p. 624; Van Biker's case, 20 Wend., p. 614;Bowden, receiver, vs. Santos et ah, 1 Hugh., p. 158; Marcy vs. Clark, 17 Mass.,p. 330.)

[NOTE.—In the Banker's Magazine for January, 1875, is a notice of the caseof Mann, receiver, vs. Dr. Cheeseman, decided by Blatchford, J., in the United.States Circuit Court in New York, in which the judge held that until therewas a transfer of shares on the books of the bank, the shareholder whose namethere appeared was liable for the debts of the bank j that an actual sale and

the signing of the ordinary power of attorney on the back of the certificatewill not relieve the seller To the foregoing rulings of State and othersubordinate tribunals may now be added the decision of the Supreme Courtof the United States in Germania Bank et al. vs. Case, receiver, already cited.The Germania National Bank of New Orleans discounted a note for thefirm of Phelps, McCullongh & Co. for $14,000, at ninety days, taking aspart security therefor the pledge of 100 shares of the Crescent City NationalBank stock, with power of attorney to the Germania cashier to transfer,sell, &c, on default in payment) of the note. Phelps, McCullough & Co.failed, and the note was protested at maturity. Prior to the maturity ofthe note, the Crescent City Bank sustained such heavy losses that it wasnotoriously in bad repute in New Orleans; and yet, when the note fell duethe cashier of the Uermania immediately transferred to his own bank, uponthe books of the Crescent City Bank, the 100 shares so pledged. Afterwards,on the same day, he transferred 76 of these shares to one Waldo, a clerk ofthe Germania Bank; and on the day following transferred the remainder tosaid Waldo. It was proved that Waldo paid IK thing, was the mere agentof the Germania Bank, which still owned the 100 shares as security for thepayment of said note, and that one of the principal reasons for the trans-fers to Waldo was the possible liability of the shareholders of the CrescentCity Bank for its debts in case of insolvency. Soon after, the Crescent CityBank failed. Held, per Strong, J., that the transfers to said Waldo werevoid as against said receiver, and that although the Germania Bank onlyheld said shares as collateral security for the payment of said discount, itwas still liable as owner for the assessment in this case ordered by theComptroller. The opinion is able and fortified by numerous authorities.In this same case, at a former term, upon a motion to dismiss the appealsof certain of the appellants, the Supreme Court recognized the right of theComptroller to make an additional assessment, if deemed necessary; andfor this reason sustained the appeals, holding that the matter in disputewas, or might be, over $5,000, although the decrees appealed from were sev-erally less than that amount. The assessment wras for 70 per cent.]

(See, also, Pullman vs. Upton, 96 U. 8. [6 Otto'], p. 328, as to liability oftransferee.)

XXVI. Where a shareholder of a corporation is called upon to respond to a liabilityas such, he is not permitted to deny the existence of such corporation.(B. U. Keyser, receiver, vs. Jane C. Hitz, Supreme Court, D. C, June 26, 1883.)

XXVII. Under married women's act, D. C, where during marriage a married womanacquires bank stock otherwise than from her husband, both her title andliability are absolute. {Ibid.) Where she acquires it from her husband,she holds it with a qualified property in her husband. It is liable, as achose in action, to be reduced to his possession. (Ibid.) Where a woman,holding savings-bank stock acquired by deed or gift from her husband,agrees, with his consent, to convert the stock into national-bank stock, andalthough still holding it subject to his marital rights, she is liable to assess-ment as a stockholder and must pay such assessment from her estate.(Ibid.) If the transfer to her and the subsequent conversion were withouther knowledge, it might be otherwise.

XXVIII. The liability incurred by a holder of national-bank stock is statutory andnot by contract. Being so it attaches, as an incident of ownership, to allwho are capable of such ownership, without reference to any supposed vol-untary assumption by contract, express or implied. Therefore when na-tional-bank stock is held by a feme covert, either in her own right or sub-ject to the marital rights of her husband, the liability to be assessed affectsher alone, and it is not necessary, in an action to enforce collection of anassessment, to join her husband, as would be necessary if it were a com-mon-law obligation or liability of the wife. (Ibid.)

XXIX. PLEDGE TO A NATIONAL BANK OF ITS OWN SHARES AS SECURITY.—Where anational bank made a loan upon the pledge of its own shares and afterwardsold the shares to obtain payment of the loan which exceeded the amountrealized from the shares: Held, that the owner of the shares could not, onthe ground that the statute forbids a national bank to take its own shares,as security, recover from the bank the amount realized upon the sale of theshares. (Supreme Court of the United States. First National Bank vs. Stewart.)

XXX. The Pacific National Bank of Boston was organized in October, 1877, with acapital of $250,000, with the right to increase it to $1,000,000. In Novem-ber, 1879, its capital was raised to $500,000; September 13,1881, the direct-ors voted to increase the capital to $1,000,000." On November 18,1881, thebank suspended. On December 13,1881, the directors voted that as $38,700

of the increase of capital stock had not been paid in, the capital be fixedat $961,300, and the Comptroller of the Currency was notified to that effect,and he notified the bank, under Revised Statutes, section 5205, to pay adeficiency on its capital stock by an assessment of 100 per cent. At theannual meeting the assessment was voted, and on March 18, 1881, withconsent of the Comptroller and the approval of the directors and the exam-iner, the bank resumed businesa, and continued until May 20, 1881, whenit again suspended and was put in the hands of a receiver. Prior to May20, 1882, $742,800 of the voluntary assessment had been paid in. Com-plainant was the owner of 25 shares of stock on September 13, 1881, andafter the vote to increase the stock, took 25 shares, for which he paid$2,500, on October 1, 1881, and received a certificate. He voted for theassessment at the annual meeting, and in February, 1882, paid the assess-ment on the old and new stock, and subsequently sought to enjoin thesuit at law against him by the receiver to enforce his individual liabilityas a stockholder, under Revised Statutes, section 5151, on the ground thatthe increase of capital was illegal and void, and that the voluntary assess-ment under Revised Statutes, section 5205, relieved the stockholders ofindividual liability : Held, that he was not entitled to relief, and the billshould be dismissed. (Morrison vs. Price. Federal Reporter, vol. 23,p. 217.)

SHAREHOLDER'S RIGHT TO SUE.I. In an action by a shareholder of a national bank charging the directors with

misconduct, if the complainant fails to show a demand on the Comptrollerfor and his refusal of a direction to the receiver to bring suit, it is bad, andthe action must fail; though it is said that if the Comptroller,in a propercase, should thus refuse, probably the stockholders could sue, making thebank a proper party. (Brinkerhoffvs. Bostwick, 23 Hun. [N. ¥.], 237.)

[NOTE.—In a suit at law in New Jersey, by one Ackerman, a shareholder,against Halsey, president of the Mechanics7 National Bank, it was, by Mr. Jus-tice Uepue, Held, 1st. That a suit under section 5239 of the national bankact, to enforce the liability of a director for misconduct, should be broughtby the corporation, or, when in the hands of a receiver, by him. 2d. Thatin the event of the improper refusal of the corporation or receiver to sue,one or more shareholders might institute a suit; but in such instances thesuit should be for the benefit of all shareholders, making the bank or re-ceiver a proper party, and, of course, the proceedings should be, not atlaw, but in equity. ]

II. ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS AGAINST BANK OFFICER FOR MISMANAGEMENT.—An action will not lie by a stockholder in a national bank against thepresident and directors for their neglect and mismanagement of the affairsof the bank, whereby insolvency ensued and the stock became worthless.{New Jersey Supreme Court. Conway vs. Halsey.)

SHARES OF STOCK.I. A national bank whose certificates of stock specify that the shares are trans-

ferable on the books of the bank on surrender of the certificates, and nototherwise, and which suffers a shareholder to transfer without such surren-der, is liable to a bonajide transferee, for value of same stock, who producessuch certificate with usual power of attorney to transfer; and this is sothough no notice had been given to the bank of the transfer. (Bank vs.Lanier, 11 Wall, p. 369.)

II. Shares are quasi negotiable. (Ibid, p. 369.)III. Stock of an incorporated company is chose in action. (B. U. Keyser vs. Jane C.

Hitz, Sup. Court D. C, June 26, 1883.)IV. The creditors of a shareholder in a national bank sued him in the place where

the bank was located, and attached his stock, obtained judgment, sold theshares on execution, and on the sheriff's certificate the bank transferred thestock to purchasers. It appears that a year previous to this action theowner had assigned them to D, with power of attorney to make the trans-fer, and, January, 1869, D assigned them to S for full consideration, powerof attorney, &c. S went to bank to make the transfer. The bank refus-ing, he brought suit and recovered judgment. The judge held that wherethere are no positive provisions of law making transfers without publicnotice void as against attaching creditors, such creditors take their debt-or's property subject to honest and bonajide liens and equitable transfers.(Scott vs. Pequonnock NatH Bank, U. S. Circuit Court, S. D. N. Y.)

SHARES OF STOCK—Continued.

V. ASSIGNMENT OF BANK STOCK NOT TRANSFERRED ON BANK BOOKS.—The by-laws of the Eliot National Bank provided that its stock should be assigna-ble only on the books, and that when the stock was transferred the certifi-cate should be returned and canceled, and a new one issued. The ownerof stock assigned his certificate with power of attorney to the ContinentalNational Bank as collateral security for a loan: Held, that this assignmentto the latter bank was valid against an attachment of the stock by the for-mer bank in an action by it against the owner of the stock. ( United StatesCircuit Court, Mass., May 21, 1881; Continental National Bank vs. Eliot Na-tional Bank.)

VI. The payee and indorser of a negotiable promissory note is liable as maker wherehe knows the maker is a fictitious x>erson; and if he were to be regardedas an indorser, he would be liable on his indorsement without demand ornotice. The sale which section 5201 Rev. Stat. requires a national bankto make of its own stock is real and not fictitious. And where the presi-dent and cashier of a national bank, which is the owner of some of its ownstock, purchase such stock, and execute their note to the bank for the pur-chase money, in a suit against them on the note by the receiver of suchbank they are estopped to set up as a defense that their purchase of thestock was unauthorized, or that their purchase was merely colorable, or toavoid a forfeiture of the bank's charter, or for any other deceptive or ille-gal purpose. The sale by the president of a national bank to himself andthe cashier of the stock of the bank owned by the bank may be ratified bythe bank or its legal representative; but a sale by himself to the bank ofits own stock, where he acts in the double capacity of seller and buyer,cannot be ratified when the purchase of the stock by the bank is not neces-sary to prevent loss upon a debt previously contracted. In the one casethe sale of the stock is enjoined by law, and its sale by the president maybe ratified, however irregular it may have been in the first instance; butthe purchase of its own stock by the bank is interdicted by law, and forthis act there can be no authorization in advance and no ratification after-wards. (Bundy, as Receiver, etc., vs. Jackson. Federal Reporter, vol. 24,p. 628.)

SURPLUS FUND.I. Where the shares of a national bank are assessed for taxation at their par

value, the surplus fund of such bank, in excess of the amount required bylaw to be kept on hand, is taxable. (First National Bank vs. Peterborough,56 N. H., p. 38.) But when such shares are assessed at their market value,and the amount of such surplus is taken into account in estimating suchmarket value, it is iiot taxable. (State vs. City of Newark, 10 Vroom \_N. </.],j>.380.)

II. Neither a dividend which has been declared, nor a portion of capital of a na-tional bank remaining after a reduction has been made, can be retained bythe directors to constitute a surplus fund. (Seeley vs. New York NationalExchange Bank, 4 Abb. [N. Y.~\,p. 61.) ^

III. The surplus fund which a national bank is required, by section 5199, U. S. Re-vised Statutes, to reserve from its net profits, is not excluded in the valua-tion of its shares for taxation. (Str afford National Bank vs. Dover, 2 Thomp.Cases, p. 296, Sup. Court N. H., following National Bank vs. Commonwealth,9 Wall.,p. 353; People vs. Commissioners, 94 U. S., p. 415.)

TAXATION.I. BY LICENSE.—The District of Columbia imposed a license tax on all the na-

tional banks in the District, the rate being 50 cents annually on each $1,000of the capital invested. The Citizens1 National Bank refused to pay thisassessment, and a test case was made in the District criminal court, Mr.Justice MacArthur presiding. This court, after full argument, held the taxillegal and void, as being contrary to the mode of taxation prescribed byCongress, which mode was held to be exclusive. This ruling of JudgeMacArthur is fully sustained by the supreme court of Missouri. (Carthagevs. Carthage National Bank, 71 Mo., 508 ; also by National Bank of Titusvillevs. Cadwell, U. S. Dist. Court, West. List. Pa., Fed. Reporter, XIII, p. 429.)

II. OF INSOLVENT BANKS.—A tax levied upon the property of a national bank,subsequent to its insolvency, is subordinate to the rights of a receiver, eventhough he be appointed after such levy. ( Woodward vs. Ellsworth, 4 Colo.,p. 590.)

102 REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY.

TAXATION— Continued.III. OF INTEREST AND DIVIDENDS.—Under the internal-revenue act of July, 1870,

interest paid and dividends declared during the last five months of 1870are taxable, as well as those declared during the year 1871. {Blake vs.National Banks, 23 Wall., p. 307.)

IV. OF SHARES OF STOCK.—The act of 1864, rightly construed, subjects the sharesof tbe association in the hands of shareholders to taxation by the States,under certain limitations set forth in section 41, without regard to the factthat part or the whole of the capital of such association is invested in na-tional securities, which are declared by law exempt from State taxation.( Van Allen vs. Assessors, 3 Wall., 573. Chase, C. J., and other judges dis-sented.)

V. Act thus construed is constitutional. (Ibid.,p. 573.)VI. A certain statute of New York, which taxed shares of national-bank stock, was

declared void, because shares of State banks were not taxed, although theircapital was; the act of Congress prescribing that shares of national banksshall be taxed only as shares of State banks are. (Ibid., p. 573. The rulingas to taxing shares of stock reaffirmed in Bradley vs. People, 4 Wall., p. 459;National Bank vs. Commonwealth, 9 Wall., p. 353.)

VII. In last case, Held, that a State law requiring the cashier to pay the tax wasvalid. Meld, also, that a certain State tax law virtually taxed "shares ofmoneyed corporations," <fcc. (Ibid., p. 353.)

VIII. Section 5219 of United States Revised Statutes applies to and includes aswell the valuation of shares for taxation as the rate of tax to be imposed,and prohibits a State from discriminating, detrimentally to a nationalbank, as to either valuation or rate. Therefore, a statute of the State ofNew York which permitted a party, when being assessed, to deduct hisjust debts from the value of all his personal property, save such as was in-vested in shares of national-bank stock, was held void as to taxation ofsuch shares. (People vs. Weaver, U. S.,p. 539, overruling the judgment ofNew York court of appeals in same cause.)

IX. So in another case, where local assessors valued all other property below itscash worth, but assessed shares of national-bank stock at par or their fullvalue: Held, that the tax upon shares thus assessed ^vas invalid, and that,upon payment of the amount justly assessable, a court of equity wouldenjoin collection of the residue. (Pelton vs. Commercial National Bank ofCleveland, 101 U. S , p. 143.)

X. Where i t appeared that throughout a portion of Ohio, including Lucas County,and perhaps all over the State, a settled rule with the equalizing officerswas to value real estate and ordinary personal property at one-third of theirworth, while moneyed capital was fixed at three-fifths, and the State boardof equalization, without changing the valuation thus made of real estateand ordinary personalty, assessed national bank shares at par: Held, thatsuch unequal valuation was in violation of the constitutional rights of suchshareholders; and, on payment of the tax justly due, equity would enjoincollection of the residue. (Cummings vs. Merchants' National Bank of Toledo,101 U. S.,p. 153.)

XI. Shares of stock in national banks are personal property, and though in onesense incorporeal, the law which created them could separate them fromthe person of their owner for taxation, and give them a situs of their own.(Tappan, collector, vs. Bank, 19 Wall., p. 490.)

XII. S ction 41 did thus separate them and give them a situs of their own. (Ibid.,p. 490.)

XIII. This provision of the national currency act became a law of the property (inshares), and every State in which a bank was located acquired jurisdiction,for taxation, of all the shares, whether owned by residents or non-residents,and power to legislate accordingly. (Ibid., p. 490.)

XIV. Under the act of Congress of February 10, 1868, enacting that each State leg-islature may direct the manner of taxing all shares of stock of nationalbanks located within the State, subject to the restriction that the taxationshall not be greater than the rate assessed upon other moneyed capital in thehands of individual citizens of such State, and of a certain act of the legis-lature of Pennsylvania, which provides that such shares shall be assessedfor school, municipal, and local purposes at the same rate as is now or mayhereafter be assessed and imposed upon other moneyed capital in the handsof individual citizens of the State : Held, that shares of national-bank stockmay be valued for taxation for county, school, municipal, and local pur-poses at an amount above their par value. (Hepburn vs. School Directors ofthe Borough of Carlisle, 23 Wall, p. 480.)

[NOTE.—In this case it appeared that Hepburn owned several thousanddollars of national-bank stock, the par value of which was $100 per share,Digitized for FRASER

and that it was valued for taxation, for a school tax, at $150 per share.This assessment was held valid, notwithstanding that by a certain act ofthe State legislature, applicable to the county of Cumberland, in which theborough of Carlisle was situated, certain specitied kinds of moneyed obli-gations were exempt from taxation except for State purposes. ]

sho

XVI.

The rate of taxation of shares of a national bank by a State should be thesame as, or not greater than, that upon the moneyed capital of the indi-vidual citizen which is liable to taxation ; that is, no greater in proportionor percentage of tax on the valuation of shares should be levied than uponother moneyed taxable capital in the hands of the citizen. (People vs. TheCommissioners,'(f'c, 4 Wall., p. 256.)

The act of Congress approved June 3,1864 (R. S., sec. 5219), was not intendedto curtail the power of the States on the subject of taxation, or to prohibitthe exemption of particular kinds of property, but to protect the corpora-tions formed under its authority from unfriendly discrimination by theStates in the exercise of their taxing power. (Adams vs. Nashville, 95 U.S. [5 Otto'], p. 19. See also, Saint Louis National Bank, National Bank ofthe State of Missouri, Third National Bank, Valley National Bank, and Mer-chants'' National Bank of Saint Louis vs. Papin, in United States circuit court,eastern district of Missouri, September term, 1876. Also, Gallatin NationalBank of New York vs. Commissioners of Taxes, supreme court of New York,first department, general term, November, 1876. These latter cases are pub-lished in the Bankers7 Magazine for December, 1876.)

XVII. OF TOWN AND CITY NOTES, ETC.—Section 3441, U. S. Revised Statutes, whichenacts that every national bank, State bank, or banker, or association shallpay a tax of ten per centum on the amount of notes of any town, city, ormunicipal corporation paid out by them, imposes the taxes thus laid not onthe notes, but on their use as a circulating medium, and is therefore constitu-tional. (National Bank vs. United States, 101 U. S., p. 1.)

XVIII. When by a State statute the citizen may have the amount of his indebted-ness deducted from the total value of his personal property, thus ascertain-ing the amount of bis personal estate subject to taxation, and a subsequentstatute relating to taxation of bank shares makes no provision for such de-duction, the latter statute is nevertheless the valid rule for assessing suchshares in all instances where there are no debts to be deducted. That thelatter statute does not authorize a deduction for debts does not invalidateit, except as to that distinct and separable principle.

Under such statutes assessments of bank shares where there are no debts todeduct are valid. Even in cases of assessments where debts exist, whichshould be deducted, but are not, the assessments are avoidable only, notvoid. (Supervisors of Albany vs. Stanley, U. S. Supreme Court, April, 1882.Fed. Reporter, Vol. XII, p. 82.)

Johnston vs. U. S. Court of Claims, December 1, 1881. Under section 22 of theact of March 3, 1869, relative to abatement of taxes versus insolvent na-tional banks, semi-annual taxes are expected to come out of profits of thebank, and, thus reducing dividends, they are a tax on the proprietors of theinsti.ution, not on the depositors. (Court of Claims Reports, Vol. 17, 158.)

XXI. In the two following cases, one in California and one in Alabama, it wasdecided in each instance that the particular form of discrimination underthe laws and regulations of the Stato was contrary to the Federal law per-mitting the taxation of national-bank shares by States. (Pollard vs. Zuberf65 Ala., 635, Miller vs. Heilbrun, 58 Cal., 133.) '

XXII. The former decisions of this court do not sustain the proposition that national-bank shares may be subjected, under the authority of the state, to localtaxation, where a very material part, relatively, of other moneyed capitalin hands of individual citizens within the same jurisdiction, or taxingdistrict, is exempted from such taxation. While exact uniformity or equal-ity of taxation cannot be expected under any system, capital invested innational-bank shares was intended by Congress to be placed upon the samefooting of substantial equality in respect of taxation by State authority asthe State establishes for other moneyed capital in the hands of individualcitizens, however invested, whether in state bank shares or otherwise.(Boyer Y8.*Boyer, V. S. Supreme Court, Bankers' Magazine, June 1885, p. 934.)

rassed, makes to it a loan, taking as security therefor a pledge of part ofthe assets of the bank, this transfer does not give him the preference pro-hibited by tbe statute. (Casey vs. Le Societe de Credit Mobilier, 2 Woodstp. 77.)

II. WHEN NOT BINDING.—Under said section 5242, which declares void transfer*of its property by a national bank, made in contemplation of insolvency,and with a view to give a preference to one creditor over another, or witha view to prevent the application of the assets of the bank in the mannerprescribed by law, such a transfer is void if the insolvency is in the con-templation of the banl^ making the transfer, although the party to whomit is made does not know or contemplate the insolvency of the bank. (Case,Receiver, vs. Citizens1 Bank, 2 Woods, p. 23.)

III. As to when & pledge of assets, even when intended as security for. a loan to anational bank, will be held invalid as against general creditors, see thecases of Casey, Receiver, vs. Le Societe de Credit Mobilier; Same vs. NationalParlc Bank; Same vs. Schuchardt, 96 U. S. [6 Otto^pp. 467, 492, 494.

IV. After a vote of the directors to close their bank and go into liquidation, anytransfer of the assets of the bank to a creditor, whereby that creditor secures*a preference, will be presumed to be made with a fraudulent intent. (Na-tional Security Bank vs. Price, Receiver, Federal Reporter, Vol. 22, p. 697.)

Y. The Pacific National Bank of Boston suspended November 18, 1881, but afterexamination resumed March 18, 1882, with the consent of the Comptrollerof the Currency, and continued to transact business until May 22, 1882,when it again failed. Between March 24, 1882, and April 28, 1882, certaincreditors, whose claims had been disputed aud placed in a suspense account,,attached the property of the bank, whereupon the bank gave bond withthe president and a director as sureties, and the attachments were dissolved.The bank transferred to the sureties, March 22, 1882, a certificate of depositfor |100,000 on another bank, which, on April 13, 1882, was exchanged forother property. Held, that such transfer was not made after the commissionof an act of insolvency by the bank, or in contemplation thereof, and witha view to a preference or to prevent the application of the assets as pre-scribed by the banking act. (Price, Receiver, vs. Coleman and others, FederalReporter, Vol. 22, p. 694.)

VI. A bank is in contemplation of insolvency when the fact becomes reasonablyapparent to its officers that the concern will presently be uuable to meetits obligations, and will be obliged to suspend its ordinary operations. Theintent to give a preference is presumed when a payment is made to a cred-itor by a bank whose officers know of its insolvency, and therefore that itcannot pay all of its creditors in full. Where property is transferred by abank to a creditor to avoid paying him the amount due him, and thus post-pone the failure of the bank, it is none the less fraudulent and void. Onrehearing, former opiuion (23 Fed. Rep. 311) is overruled, and transfer heldfraudulent and set aside. (Roberts, Receiver, etc., vs. Hill, AdmW, etc., Fede-ral Reporter, Vol. 24, p. 571.)

TRUSTEES, ETC.I. A trustee transferred sureties to the Merchants' Bank of Boston as collateral

for money advanced and lost in speculation. The Massachusetts supremecourt compelled the bank to restore the collateral, some $40,000, to theplaintiff, a lady, on the ground that the stocks and bonds were transferredunder such circumstances as to put the bank on inquiry.

ULTRA VIRES.I. WHAT IS.—National banks cannot sell railroad bonds for third parties on com-

mission, or engage in business of that character. (Susan Weckler vs. First .National Bank of Hagerstown, Court of Appeals of Maryland, 42 Md., p. 581.)

II. In an action of deceit against a national bank, for alleged false representa-tions of its teller in the sale to plaintiff of certain railroad bonds: Held,that the selling of such bonds on commiHsion was not within the authorizedbusiness of a national bank, and being thus beyond the scope of its cor-porate powers, the defense of ultra vires was open to it, and it was not re-sponsible for the deceit of its teller. (Ibid.)

III. A national bank has no inherent power to act as age*nt in the purchase ofbonds or stocks for third persons, and its president cannot bind it by anagreement so to act without special authority. (First National Bank ofAllentown vs. Hoch, 89, Penn., p. 324.) Quere: If the bank has no such in-herent power, how can it confer uspecial authority" on the president?

are in conflict. That such purchase is valid, see Pape vs. Capital Bank ofTopeka, 20 Kans., p. 440; Smith vs. Exchange Bank, 26 0., p. 141, $c. Percontra, see Farmers and Mechanics' Bank vs. Baldwin, 23 Minn., p. 198; FirstNational Bank of Rochester vs. Pierson, 1 Thomp. Cases, p. 673. There ismuch in the point that if a national bank can purchase promissory notes, itcan do so for such price as the seller may be willing to take; and thus theprohibitions as to usury may be practically nullified. But further, whyshould not the rule a expressio unius est exclusio alterius" control? In Na-tional Bank vs. Johnson, 104 U. S. 271, the United States Supreme Courtheld that a national bank may purchase business paper (promissory notes)when the transaction amounts in law to a discount, but expressly leaves un-decided the question whether such bank can buy such paper "indorsedwithout recourse," or transferred by delivery only. (See the closing para-graph of opinion.)]

IV. WHAT IS NOT.—A national bank took a lien upon real estate to secure a pre-existing debt. Afterward the bank paid $500 to discharge a prior lien uponthe land, taking a note and mortgage on laud in Kansas to secure this ad-vance. Lien and mortgage held valid and warranted bylaw. (Ornn vs.Merchants1 National Bank, 16 Kans.,p. 341.)

V. A chattel mortgage taken by a national bank to secure a pre-existing debt isvalid, and will be enforced. (Spofford vs. First National Bank, 37 Iowa, p.181.)

VI. A bank organized under the national bank act has power to sell any im-movable it may own, and may reserve a mortgage and vendor's privilege(lien) thereon. (New Orleans National Bank vs. Raymond, 29 La. Annual, p.355.)

VII. It would seem that where a national bank had realized the considerationagreed upon for its guarantee of the paper of another, the doctrine ofestoppel in pais precludes such bank from asserting that such guarantee is-ultra vires. (People's Bank vs. National Bank, 101 U. S., p. 181.)

VIII. A national bank has corporate power to enter into an agreement with a cus-tomer to exchange for him non-registered for registered United States,bonds; and it is bound by an agreement to that effect, made for a sufficientconsideration by its cashier. (Yerkes vs. National Bank, 69 N. Y., p. 382.)

(See, also, Title "DEPOSITS, SPECIAL," ante.)IX. A township in Vermont issued its bonds with interest coupons attached.

Each coupon contained an express promise to pay, &c. A national bankbought of these bonds, and sued the township in assumpsit, on unpaid cou-pons : Held, that the action was in due form, and that a national bank couldlegally buy, hold, and sue upon such bonds and upon the coupons. (NorthBennington Bank vs. Bennington,16 Blatchf.,p,h3.)

USURY.I. State laws relative to usury do not apply to national banks. (Farmers and

Mechanics7 National Bank vs. Dearing, 1 Otto, p. 29.)II. The only forfeiture declared by the 30th section of the act of June 3, 1864

(Revised Statutes, section 5198) is of the entire interest which the note orbill carries with it, or which has been agreed to be paid thereon, when therate knowingly reserved or charged by a national bank is in excess of thatallowed by that section ; and no loss of the entire debt is incurred by suchbank as a penalty or otherwise, by reason of the provision of the usury lawof a State. (Farmers and Mechanics7 National Bank vs. Bearing, above cited;National Exchange Bank vs. Moore. 2 Bond, p. 170; Barnett vs. National Bank,98 U. S. [8 Otto}, p. 555.)

III. If usurious interest has been paid to a national bank, twice the amount ofinterest thus paid may be recovered from such bank by the person payingthe same, or his legal representative; but as this provision of the statute ispenal and the same statute prescribes how such recovery may be had, noother remedy can be resorted to. It must be recovered, if at all, iu a suitin the nature of an action of debt. That the borrower from a nationalbank has paid usurious interest can avail him nothing, as a defense, or byway of a set-off, when sued for the amount of the loan by the bauk. (Bar-nett vs. National Bank, above cited.)

(See Title "INTEREST," ante.)IV. While the national bank act prescribes penalties for usury, it does not make

the contract (e.g. contract of indorser) void; and for the court so to decidewould be to add a penalty not imposed by the statute. This the court willnot do. (Oates vs. First National Bank of Montgomery, 100 U. S., p. 239.)

USURY—Continued.V. The assignee in bankruptcy of a borrower from a national bank may sue for

and recover the penalty for having received usurious interest. ( Wright vs.First National Bank of Greensburg, 2 Thomp. Cases, p. 138, U. S. Cir. Court,Indiana.)

VI. The exacting of usurious interest by a national bank, upon the diseount of anote, works a forfeiture of interest accruing after, as well as before, thematurity of the note. (National Bank of Uniontown vs. Stauffer, 2 Thomp.Cases, p. 178, U. S. Cir. Court, Western District Penn.)

VII. There are no State banks of issue in this State entitled to receive more thansix per cent, interest, consequently national banks cannot contract for orreceive a higher rate than six per cent. Where money is recoverable undera statute that makes no provision for interest none can be recovered.(Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Columbia National Bank vs. Bletz.)

A person who procures the discount by a national bank of promissory notesof others, held by him, he indorsing the same, at an unlawful rate of inter-est, may maintain an action to recover back from the bank twice the amountof such interest, under the provisions of the United States Revised Statutes,section 5198, giving the right to such an action, and this, notwithstandingthe transaction, would not, under the law of the State where the bank islocated, be usurious if between private persons. (United States SupremeCourt, December 12, 1881. National Bank of Gloversville vs. Johnson.)

VIII. Th« provision of the national banking act against usury will be enforcedin favor of the original borrower, or any one who, for a good cause, repre-sents his interest. The bank will be allowed to set off the penalty by ex-penses of exchange, and by any just debt against the original borrower.State laws not applicable. (Barrett vs. Shtlbyville National Bank, Banker'sMagazine, Vol. 40, p. 212.)

IX. The Federal statute provides the only remedy, and that by way of penalty,against a national bank for the taking of usury; thus the plaintiff hadbrought a suit in the United States court to recover the penalty prescribedby the said statute, and had obtained a judgment. Held, that he couldnot thereafter maintain an action of assumpsit in a State court to recoverthe excess above the legal interest paid to the bank. (Phillips Hill vs. Na-tional Bank of Barre; Vermont Supreme Court, Banker's Magazine, April, 1885,p. 775.)

VlSITORIAL POWERS.

I, Section 5241 U. S. Rev. Stats, prohibits a State court from compelling officersof a national bank to produce the bank books for the purpose of ascertain-ing facts upon which to impose a State tax upon the deposits of depositors.(National Bank of Youngstoivn vs. Hughes, Auditor, $"c, 2 Thomp. Cases, p.176, U. S. Cir. Court, N. Dist. Ohio.)
