Excerpt from Report of the Bank Commissioners: January 1844 Further developments must take place before any estimate, entitled to confidence, by whomsoever made, can be put upon the value of the liabilities to the public, or the stock of these institutions. Of the banks and savings institutions visited or examined since the date of the last annual report, (excepting such as have been visited a second time within the year, ) no report in detail is necessary. Generally the remarks therein made rela tive to the other solvent banks in the Commonwealth, apply to these with equal, perhaps greater force.
