I tried that already but it doesn't work:
foreach var in realloangrowth realdepositgrowth {
local v1: variable label `var'
graph bar (mean) `var', label ///
over(year, relabel(2005 "2004-05" 2006 "2005-06" 2007 "2006-07" 2008
"2007-08") ///
label(labsize(vsmall))) ytitle(`v1') ///
bargap(2) b1title("Year") by(ctype, title("`v1' by cgroup")) ///
/*graph export `var'_pre.png, replace*/
}
