Kansas Bank deposits.

Bank Commissioner Breidenthal
gave out a statement showing the con-
dition of the 322 state banks and 81
private banks of Kansas. It shows
that the banks had on deposit $27, 229,-
517.47, an increase of 81, O76, 171.66 over
the call of December 2. The loans
show a decrease of over $4,000. The
deposits of the banks are larger now
than ever before in the history of the
state. The highest point reached in
deposits previous to this was in April,
1898, when they were $22, 100000. The
loans that year aggregated $23, 100000.
Now they aggregate $21, SIS, 321.72.
This shows that Kansans have more
money to deposit and are borrowing
less to run their business.
