THE BANKING BUSINESS.
The Views of the Bankers of the City Upon
the Causes of the Financial Depression.


There have been unusual restraints upon the
banking business during the last year. Some
embarrassment was occasioned by the failure of
two of the leading banks. and the effect has been
depressing upon the general business of the city.
in destroying public confidence. There is moth
ing in the failure, however, to indicate that
banking liz indianapolis is Improbable. The
character of the assets show that the failures re-
suited from losses sustained during the panic
of 1873, when they became overburdened with
the Improbable real estate taken in liquidation
of debts. With the accumulation of interest and
taxes upon this Improbable property, the failure
of the banks was simply inevitable. Their sus-
pension, however, has not affected the other
similar institutions further than to cause some
what more cautious restrictions in business
operations. The banks now doing business in
Indianapolis are in a safer condition than they
have been at any time since 1873, and they are
making greater profits. The aggregate capital,

OF the HERALD of Sunday February %.
with a personal marked May | ask
you to kindly correct statement made
therein touching the character of tho
services Of st. Johns church, of which

ton the part of those who use the term
High Church" in wrong sense,) js
| that the said service is extremely rita
alistie. This is not the case. With tho
exception Of the use Of "processional
cross" Carried before the choir,) the
service is identically the same rs that
with which tho congregation of -,
Matthews cathedral was familiar du
ring the last three years of my ministry
in Dallas.
Neither in principle nor in practicC
have / changed, or do | desire tt
change.
Persons attending ST, Johns will find
thoroughly dignihed aud solemn, bu
