INDEPOSITS HERE ' Controller’s Call of March 27 Finds Many Increases De- spite Heavy Withdrawals. BY EDWARD C. STONE. Today was another one of those big days In the banking world, made so by & call for condition statements issued | by the controller of the currency. The call sent out today by Controlier John W. Pole ask- ed for the condi- tion of all national banks in the coun- try and_all banks in the District of Columbia at the close of business on Wednesday, March 27 The call, which came as a surprise to local bankers, since the blanks were received oniy yesterday, found the Washington in- stitutions in excel- marry €. Grete. lent condition, f: better than m bankers had pre- | dicted. It was possible before going to press to secure the deposit figures from 25 local banks. Eighteen showed gains and seven declines over the deposits Teported on the call of December 31, 1928, Substantial Gains Revealed. Rifgs National reported the largest deposits the bank has ever had, it be- ing the second call in which the de- | posits of the Farmers & Mechanics Na- tional Bank of Georgetown were in- cluded, as the result of the merger. The bank had a gain over the Decem- ! ber 31 call of $2.467.826. ‘The American Security & Trust Co. had a gain in deposits of about the same proportions and geveral other banks also had very generous increases. ‘The declines noted are of small propor- tions, ‘There are three big factors which have vital bearing on the present call. The income tax, personal tax and tax | on real estate are all due in March. The income tax made heavy withdrawals from the banks all over the country. The personal tax makes another drain and the real estate tax draws from many individual accounts as well as from estates in the trust departments ©of many banks. ‘The showing here will cause general rejoicing as it proves Washington's banking position as most sound. Below + are presented the deposits on March 27 from representative local institutions. They are compared with the deposits on the last call, December 31, Comparison of Last Two Calls.

The New York Stock Exchange, curb market and all commodity markets are closed today for the observance of Good Friday. The security exchanges also | will be closed tomorrow. The volume of sales in March on the New York Stock Exchange passed the 100,000,000-share mark for the third time on record for one month. Stock sales were approximately 30,000,000 shares ahead of February. Bond and curb stock sales also were ahead of February. Developments this week in the bank- ers’ acceptance market attracted special attention to the New York Federal Re- | serve Bank's report on its holdings of bankers' acceptances bought in the open market. These holdings decreased | $7.998.000 for the week, and the total, $35.821,000, compared with $104,034.000 | at this time a year ago. The revival of | interest in this . market, which had caused a cancellation of an earlier ad- | vance of 1 of 1 per cent in yield rates, | had created a belief in some quarters that Reserve banks were supporting the market. The figures showed, however, | that the maturing bills were being al- | lowed to run off without replacements. | The buying was partly traced to fo eign accounts. Net profit to the Standard Screw Co. of Hartford, Conn., in 1928, Increased to $1,024.448, equivalent to $16.70 a common share, from $577.769, or $3.87 | a common share in 1927. The company | in 1928 continued its policy of buying | preferred stock at the market, and now owns 77 per cent of the total preferred issue. Both sales and profits were the largest in the company’s history. Plans for the formation of what its sponsors say will be one of the largest aviation companies operating on the Atlantic seaboard were revealed today with the annoauncement of the organi- zation of the Atlantic Seaboard Air- ways, Inc, A $10.000,000 chain store candy busi- ness, founded 50 years ago by George W. Loft. passed today from the control of his family. An opposing group of stockholders took advantage of its stock holdings to oust George Leon Loft, son of the founder, from the presidency, electing its own directors. The stockholders’ committee was | headed by O. E. Dunham, president of | Page & Shaw Co., another candy con- cern. Dunham heads the new board of directors. e HUNTER OF WOLVES FINDS PREY SCARCE Charley Cummins and His| Dogs Bag Only 44 Marau- ders in Season. By the Associated Press DE SMET, S. Dak., March 19.—Charley Cummins and his eight famous dogs | are pack from their annual Midwinter | wolf hunt in Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado. They ranged farther than ever before and found less prey. Only 44 marauders of the farmers’ sheep and cattle pastures and chicken pens fell in the quest, whereas 151 were killed a year ago. Half of the dogs are registered grey- hounds and half of them “cold bloods,” best for wolf hunting. Cummins says that of the dog, trap and poison methods, dogs are the most effective against wolves. He made the trip this year in the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ©.” FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1929. WHOLESALE PRIGES LOWER IN DISTRICT Butter, Pork and Lard Cheaper as Demand Shows Drop. Prices of butter shaded off slightly to- day, as did those of pork and lard| products on ths wholesale market here. ! This is attributod to the usual slump in | demand with the approach of warm| weather. On the other hand, eggs of all sorts are in great demand for Easter. With adequate supplies coming in from farms | surrounding Washington, the prices | have remaincd stable despite the in- crease in trade. i Some wholcsalers, with an eye to Easter, are selling colored eggs in retail lots at prices ranging from 10 cents each to 3 for 25 cents. The average price this 920 | | obtained for commodity is cents a dozen. Quotations on poultry and fresh killed meats remained today at current levels.

Teports a gain i net income of $4,045.39 in February, 1929, over February, 1928, according to the monthly report filed with the Public Utilities Commission. * The company showed a deficit of $3.256.3¢ in February, 1928, and a deficit of $2,396.96 in January of this year. The improvement is attributed in part to an increase of 1.237 in revenue passengers, which numbered 442,660 last month. A contributory factor was a decrease of 5285.7 in bus mileage, which fell to 133,357.4 in February. Operating revenues amounted to $46,- 157.62 last month, a gain of $1.260.07 | over the same month a year ago, and operating _expenses aggr $41.- 168.79, a falling off of $3.967.44 from | February, 1928 The company reports net operating revenues of $4,988.83, which contrasts with a deficlt of $23868 a year ago. Taxes were $1.441.19, against $658.33 in February of last yea ing in- come amounted to $3547.64, as com- pared with $897.01 in red ink a yea 2ago.

Nine shots were possible with the extra magazine attachment, the gun prov- ing deadly at a distance within its range. Al greater distances, the gun crippled the wolves and the dogs were | released to finish the job. | An experienced trapper, the best | in the region, said that Cummins and | his dogs cut a swath wherever they hunted, and spoiled his trapping. In the sand brakes of Nebraska and Colo- rado, where it had been thought the ideal protection would make it im- possible to clean out the wolves, Cum- mins picked them off one by one as they came out for forage. Inquisitive by nature, the wolves | came out of hiding at the sound of Cummins’ weird siren. As their heads showed in the brakes, Cummins fired | and the dogs dashed to the fray. ‘The good price for skins and the in- creasing scarcity for skins account in part for the smaller kill this year. Hunters are going out earlier in the season. Cummins says there are few young wolves left. For the most part he got tough old campaigners of many & year—and they were hard to run down. His best record was six in one day and nine in two days. DECLINE IN WHOLESALE TRADE IS REPORTED By the Assoclated Press. Decreases in sales of drugs, boots and shoes and groceries are listed by the Federal Reserve Board as causes of a 3 per cent decline in the total wholesale trade of the country during February. There were increases in men’s clothing, furniture and dry goods, but they were smaller than usual at this time of the year, the report saic. The decreases in the various lines included: Groceries, 8.7 per cent; meats, 2.6 per cent; boots and shoes, 13.6 per cent; hardware, 7.2 per ccnt and drugs, 19.6 per cent. The in- creases included men’s clothing, 54.2 per cent; dry goods, 0.2 per cent and furniture, 8.7 per cent. Increases also were reported in sales of agricultural implements and tools, not included in the board’s index. | MARTINSBURG ‘BANKS ARE CONSOLIDATED Special Dispatch to The Star. MARTINSBURG, W. Va..
