Balance discrepancies on development chain

[billtlee]

Hi, I am just playing around with the api. I have started a canvas chain with canvas --dev --tmp. I am attaching to it using canvas ui and am able to make calls to get the balances for Alice, Bob, and Charlie. However, the balance I get from canvas ui is different from the balances I am getting with the api. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Here is a snip-bit of my code and the output. Seems like I am connected to the development chain since the block number matches.

  const ALICE = '5GrwvaEF5zXb26Fz9rcQpDWS57CtERHpNehXCPcNoHGKutQY';
  const BOB = '5FHneW46xGXgs5mUiveU4sbTyGBzmstUspZC92UhjJM694ty';
  const CHARLIE = '5FLSigC9HGRKVhB9FiEo4Y3koPsNmBmLJbpXg2mp1hXcS59Y';

  const wsProvider = new WsProvider('ws://127.0.0.1:9944');
  const api = await ApiPromise.create({ provider: wsProvider });

  const [chain, nodeName, nodeVersion] = await Promise.all([
    api.rpc.system.chain(),
    api.rpc.system.name(),
    api.rpc.system.version()
  ]);
  console.log(`You are connected to chain ${chain} using ${nodeName} v${nodeVersion}`);
  const balances = await api.query.system.account.multi([ALICE, BOB, CHARLIE]);

Here are the outputs:

It seems in the one case you are querying the contract balance and in the other the on-chain balance?
