The last Of the reports from ma
tional banks in Missouri detailing
their condition on the twenty eighth
day of September last have just reach
ed the Office Of the comptroller oil
the currency and an aggregate state
ment is published. This is a state
ment of the national banks OF the
state exclusive of st. Louis, st. Jo-
seph and Kansas City. The report
is generally indicative of the same
condition OF business which has been
made evident by reports from the
west generally. As compared with
the abstract made from state ements
Of the condition on July IL, there ID
generally to be observed an increase
in the money traffic. On July II tho
loans and discounts of the Missouri
banks amounted to 81, 1872, 1924. In
September they amounted to $7,-
87S, 1886. The average reserve held
shows best whatever revival OF bust
ness there was. At the close oi
business on July IL there was 33. II
per cent. held, as against 1927 on
the last Of September. OF course, 1t
is generally known that the fall trade
has not actively begun in September,
and these abstracts would make q
much better show II they were tc
represent some typical day in Octo :
Der. But in the reports from Texas,
which cover all the national banks In
the state, the first movement Of the
cotton crop causes much greater
difference to be shown, In compari-
son with the July report. In July
the loans and discounts In Texa,
banks amounted to s42, 401, 1s9, and
In September to s45, ,2o6,ss The
reserve held in July was 5,7o1, 1876,
and in September 1t amounted ts
s4,649,827. There is an increase IL
individual deposits, consequent on
the sale Of the cotton crop, and IL
July there was only sS1, $3.50, 100 OF
deposit, against sss, ,2S2, ,eo4, in Sep.
tember. But In Texas the average
reserve held has fallen in September
to 27.4o per cent. % compared Will
80. IL per cent. In July.
