great prosperity enjoyed throughout
the south. Since Jan /, 1900. ffty-nine
new banks have been established in
this district most of them in accord
ance with the act Of March Ia, 1900 The

twenty-one national banks have been

big increases in national bank assets
have been observed, and the same en-
cOuraging reports are made concerning
