Too Many Bnuk. I'm Citie..

There are Indications that there are too
many banks in the cities and too few in
the small towns. The cities have more
currency than they need while the coun-
try districts haven't as much as they need.
In our dispatches yesterday it was stated
that the Atlas National Bank of Chicago
/ had decided to go out of business, although
in perfectly solvent condition. The rea-
son given for this decision is that younger
banking institutions have taken away from
it a large part of its business.
1t is safe to say that in many of the
cities there are banks that are not making
dividends. They have a surplus out Of
which they are paying dividends, hoping
all the time that business will improve.
Eventually the most of them will find it
advisable to wind up their affairs.
The announcement comes from Boston
that some of the savings banks of Massa-
chusetts have plan for closing about a
half dozen of the national banks of that
city. The law of Massachusetts permits
savings banks to invest in the stock of
national banks, and the savings banks of
that state hold 1859 of the 522,5OO shares
of the national banks of Boston. A ma
jority of the stock of each of eight national
banks of that city is owned by the savings
banks of the state The savings banks
own 81 per cent. of all the stock of the ma
tlonal banks of Boston.
AS already stated the savings
banks think that Boston has too
many national banks, and the
proof that it has is found in the
fact that the stock of twenty-five out of
the sixty banks is below par. 1t is also
claimed that some of the banks whose
shares are above par are not so healthy
as their shares Indicate
This condition of affairs is not at all sat
isfactory to the savings barR<s. They are
tired of carrying so much deprecated bank
stock. Therefore, if reports are to be
credited they have appointed a commit
tee to devise plan to force some of the
national banks out Of business. 1t is hoped
by this means to improve the market value
of the shares of the other banks.
1t is not claimed that any of the banks
are in a shaky condition. The contention
is that there are too many of them for
the business that is to be done, and that
some of them must close up their affairs.
As the savings banks are in position to
speak with some authority it is not i'm
probable that Boston will nave fewer banks
in the near future.
