The first annual report of the State
Commissioners of Banking has been
fled with the Governor. We CLEAN the
following points from the report:
From reports made to the State Treasurer,

417l9 when the present general banking law
went into effect Jan. T. 1889. On Dec 81, 1889,
10 new banks had been authorized to commence &c
business, and loan and trust company, with
total capital of SJ20,OO0, so that there were ON
Dec. 81, 93 incorporated State banks, also lib
national banks doing business in Michigan
354,277.90; national banks, $50, ,O5l ,5O2U.
The capital stock OF ninety State banks ON Dec.
IL 1889. was S7 ,25l, ,55o To- Under the provisions
of the law the following have been designated

City, the saginaws, Kalamazoo, Jackson,

The law which provides thaS savings banks
shall keep on hand, or on deposit in banks in

had a ndency TO mass deposits in the large
cities designated by the Commissioners as re-
serve cities. The resources of fourteen State
and national banks in the city of Detroit are
$40 0a0, 735.25 OF three State and five national
tanks in Grand Rapids 50 9,4G7, 1850; OF four
State aud six ma ional banks in the Saginaws,
S7,0i 9c2.6i of five State and two national Bay
CITY banks, sioo1. .s9o.I7. F1fty-n state bank
are savings institutions; these report such do
posits at S23 $50 03O % distributed among 07 ,sU3
depositors, and paying an average interest OF
3l9 per CT mt. to depositors, or an aggregate OF
SS00,O00 annually for interest on savings depos-
its. The Commissioner suggests that there be
some needed additional Legislative enactment
regulating the business of private banks" with
a view to greater security to depos tors. There
are fifty.nfne building and loan associations or
eanized in the State. These are commended
whom under conservative and honest manage
ment, but as the associations charge borrowers
higher rate of interest than the current, h.
thinks in those institutions, where one-han OF
the membership is borrower and one-haf dc
positors, that the latter profit at the expense
OF the former.
