In order to summarize the figures for the six chief classes of banks in the United States, and therefore to give a comprehensive view of our financial power, the following statistical statements are given. These figures are, of course, not inclusive of our complete system, as figures for the federal reserve banks, federal farm loan system, the building and loan associations, the Morris-plan banks, the remedial loan associations, etc., have been omitted, since the inclusions of such figures would probably be more confusing than helpful. Moreover, the statistics concerning these last-named institutions are not as complete as those on the six principal classes of banks. The figures have been gathered by the Comptroller of the Currency, who must in certain cases depend upon voluntary reports from the state and private institutions; hence these data are not absolutely full and complete.
