That Los Angeles 10 rapidly developing into

ed in more ways than one. The fioulishing
condition of its numerous banks is well known;
the soundness of any OF which was never ques-
toned in recent years. except during the tenn

cat concern went to the wall, thus precipitat-
ing foolish run en- banks il general. somt-
what embarrassing several of them, but causing
no permanent impairment of their business or
capital, except in few minor instances where
such banks went out of business, after paying
depositors dollar for olar, because the stock
holders saw more profitable fields Of investment
in other directions.
The sta bility of the remaining banks is bet
a'tested by the hie premium at which stock In
the respective institutionsis is he'd. Quotations,
corrected daily, sre given below
Another evidence of the increased financial
importance of the city is the growth of the
stock brokerage trade, both as to the number OF
firms engaged and the amount of business
transacted. One prominent firm in this line
reports sai es of $3.50 900 of Southern California
