BANKS HAVE USE FOR MONEY.
lions Manage to Pay Dlvidonds
to Shareholders.

Many people wonder how banks use
all the money deposited in them and
how they manage to pay interest there
on and yet come out at the end Of the
year with a big profit on the business,
says the New York Telegram.
What they do is trade with the money.
To the depositor they pay between one
and two per cent, but the money they
lend brings them in three, five, six,
seven, and even eight per cent.
For instance, they give loans on all
sorts of securities, such as railway de-
bentures, government stock, public
company shares, dock warrants, bills
of lading, etc.
They also lend money on the Sc
curity of houses and land, but not to
a great extent, as repayments are
slow.
When a couple of substantial business
men or farmers or professional men
back a bill the bank often lends without
any security at all; but now and again
they have heavy and ruinous losses on
these loans.
All banks, however, have large sums
of money constantly lying idle, for they
must keep sufficient cash at the various
branches TO- pay checks, and even TO be
more or less prepared for panicB. Still,
the difference between the one or two
per cent: they pay and the three or
eight they receive on millions of dol
lars leaves them an immense nrofit on
the years business.
