The controller of the currency has completed his annual tables, showing the amounts of United States bonds held by the national banks, state banks, savings banks and private bankers, on the 1st of November, 1882. The national banks held on November 1, 1882, as security for circulation and for public deposits and other purposes, $95,528,400 of interest-bearing bonds of the United States. ‘This is nearly thirty million less than the amount held on November 1, 1831, and about seven oe less than for the corresponding date in 1880 . Banking associations other than national hold bonis as follows:—State banks in twenty- $8,739,172; trust companies in five states. $16,924,812; Savings banks in fifteen states, $237,786,442 Total, $263,460,426, ‘There has been during the past year a decrease of about two million in the amount held by state Danks and trust companies, and an increase of nearly twenty-seven million} in the amounts held by savings banks, ‘The amounts held by geographical divisions by these assoctations in 1882 were as follows: West- €rn states, $12,667,248; middle states, $197,135.239. southern states, $258,350; western states, $3/369,414; Pacific states, $20,020,175. Total, $263,.60,426. ‘These returns have been complied from reports made to the officers of the different states, which have been forwarded by them to the Controller. ‘The interest-bearing funded debt of the United tes Was on Novenber 1st last $1,418,080,200. ¢ total amount of bonds held by the national banks, state banks and savings banks at the near- st corresponding date that could be ascertained was $676,639,357, which amount 1s not greatly less than one-half of the whole interest bearing debt. Similar facts have also been complied from the returns made by state banks, savings banks and private bankers to the Treasury department for the purpose of taxation, showing that the banks and bankers of the country, exclusive of the national banks, held an average amount of United States “bonds during the six months ending May 3ist last, as follows: Savings banks, $242,029,782; state’ banks and trust_com- antes, $23,211,430; private bankers, $14,870,745. Potal, $280,110, 957. The amount of bonds given in the returns to the Commissioner of Internal revenue, which is the amount invested in United States bonds and may Include the premium as well as principal of the bonds, 1s $16,050,000 more than the amount ob- tained from the returns to state officers. The dif- ference is small, and the amounts obtained from the one source serve to corroborate the general ac- curacy of the returns obtained from the other. ‘The Treasury Building. ARCHITECT HILL RECOMMENDS RECONSTRUCTION OF THE EAST WING. James G. Hill, supervising architect of the ‘Treasury, has made to the Secretary his annual report for the year ended September 30, 1882, in ‘which are set forth the amounts expended during the year upon public buildings in various parts of the country and the balance remaining in the Treasury to the credit of each. With regard to the Treasury building at Washington the report says: “Upon the Treasury bullding there have been expended $28,002.93 Balance remaining, 29,036.70. This building 1s generally !n good con- dition, except the east wing and the root, portions of which should be renewed. The heating appa- ratus in the east wing, which has been in use for about thirty years, is reported by the engineer as worn out. In the attic, which is occupied by Mes, the protection against fire 1s insuMclent, and Mr. Hill recommends, as a measure of safety, the con- struction of cut-off walls, extending above the roof at the intersections of the various wings, the openings for communication to have fire-proot doors. ‘The east front of this building 1s unsightly, constructed of material inferfor to that of the rest of the building. The rooms are small, and those in the upper portion are defictent in light, Mr. Hill suggests the advisability of recommending to Congress the reconstruction of this portion of the building. This, while adding to the appearance of the building, would give some of the Increased accommodation which the crowded condition of the various offices demand.” THR NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. ‘The following are the opening and closing prices ci the New Yi Stock Market to-day, as reported by special wire to H.
