BANKS SHOW GROWTH IN RESOURCES DURING THE YEAR JUST ENDED

By WILLIAM R. 8ANBORN The latest government compilation of national bankstatistics, dating from I Feb. 1874 to June 30, 1919, Is amost j impressive document. This cqmpila-j tion deals with National banks, exclusiveiy out u ; is iau--w.uuuu that the state DanKs ana trust companies have shared as largely in this r .ocnnr'ac anri tllAt 'all are equally prosperous, according to tion .and character of management. There are a vast array 01 irust, lngs and state : financial Institutions, some of them ranging vmn me largeo banking concerns in the entire country, and these are also the depositaries of billions of money." '.. t The record in review shows that In Feb., 1874, the combined resources of all our National banks were but $1,808,501,000, and the total, deposits only $795,500,000.: During the intervening 40 years up to Jan., 1914, deposits mounted to $8,393,372,000, and the total resources to $11,296,353,000. What has happened in the last 56 years, or from Jan., 1914, to June 30, 1919? On the latter date our National banks held almost exactly 16 billions nf iinnsits. and had total resources of oinsft to 21 billion dollars. Of the later 1 &um $2,363,478,000 formed the capital, surplus and undivided profits of the combined institutions, to which cash . . . i J era assets are to db aaaeu rraj uviumt, and other valuables o the various banks.

The brnVprs of Richmond are unanimoulv report In? lrse Increases in resources during 1919, and a satisfactory business from every anle. The brinks have been prosperous because Ri-hmond has be?n prosperous, ana because all of the people within this financial and trading radius have had more money to srend. and to save, than ever r-efore, this, too, in spite of the hVh"t average cost on every essentia to a comfortable existence. Fol'fiiy purchases ind'eated that a flood of money was distributed to Christmas fund and savings depositors tut prior to the annual shopping rush. This dees not mean. h;ever, that Mvlns HCCOuntswere deple cd Thev were not, lor me AZ rt ill' remain hlsh in all of Richmond's or,niQi institutions, aside from tne Christmas Saving club deposits, a part of which have also been redeposited for a coming rainy day. The spirit of thrift inculcated during the dark days of war still persists and should long endure. SecQnd Nationa Bank. At the peak Piatement as to deposits during' I h Seond,'jE" Wnal bank of Richmond showed depo'lSs in exss of three mllons S3 020 604, to be exact, and as of Sept. 1' Where flood of money arc constantly flowing the total of deposits Lm ot opIv varv from day to day. but also from hour to hour, from opening to closing time. This ia.in accordance with the natural order and these daily swings of the banking pendulum have no effect upon the growth of banking institutions, from year to year. The Second National statement of Sept. 12 for instance, showed resources totaling $3,960.728, and an increase ot $563,145 in deposits, as compared with those of the same date in 1918. The last call of the comptroller of the currency for statements as of November 17. showed a gain in deposits of $604,163. over those of November of the previous year. Dickinson Trust Company. In its statement of condition at the i husiness on Nov. 17, made to the auditor of state under the last: "call" of the year me jjickuisuu Trust company lists resources totaling $3,090,457 and reports combined deposits of $2,614,999 in its checking and savings departments. Compared with the statement of November, 1918, this shows a growth of $563,485 In their Jine of deposits during the preceding 12 months, or an average weekly increase of $10,83$ . during the entire year. The Dickinson Trust .loan account showed $2,017,580 outstanding on the date of its November statement, 1919. . -First National Bank.

The growth In deposits and the many new. accounts added daring the past 12 months, shows that the people are well supplied with money, according: to the First National folks, and that there is an increasing - tendency to bank, funds and to pay by check on the part of many who .formerly gave little heed ; to '-the value and convenience of bank facilities and accommodations.-. The First National reported

resources of $2,473,348 on the date of tho WnvOTnher rall anil PrtmhlnH .rloposita of $1,907,788. at that time, this gnowIn, a net increase in deposits of about $470,000 during the previous 12 months. Union National Bank. The latest available figures, as given out by the Union National bank of

Ioca-.Richmond, are those of the statement tc the comptroller of Currency, as of

The Union National has shared In the general growth and prosperity enjoyed by the local banking circle and reports a . satisfactory expansion in deposits and in the loan account, during the past year. The American Trust. The American Trust and Savings bank, the latest among Richmond's financial institutions, was organized in 1915, and has shown consistent growth from the beginning, in its statement of November 17, 1919, the American Trust gave its deposits as $520, 494 as against $402,006 on the same date in 1918, or a net gain of $118,488 for the year.
