WHAT BANKS ARE DOING,
Capital is Increased. Deposits arc
larger and State Banks are
Broadening OuI.

The Aberdeen News has an inter-
esting atricle concerning the busl-
ness of the State Banks, which is
based on the call that was made by
Public Examiner LeClaire on April
is. and it shows these banks to be
growing stronger in every class OF
the banking business. Concerning
this feature OF the financial interests
in South Dakota the News has the
following article, a portion of which
is quoted from Public Examiner Le-
Claire
Under the call OF April 18th last
the state and private banks made
the following showing of liabilities:
Capital stock paid in. So. 503. .07O. 20;
surplus and undivided profits, S599,
6S2 80: earnings, S674, 1874: depos-

certificates of deposit. S7.l07, l2S. 90:
rediscounts aud bills payable, $685.
040. 96.
The resources We're shown as fol-
lows: Loans and discounts, SILL
40. 263. 66: county and municipal
warrants. $3.50, AIS. 10: tax. certiti-
Gates. $40, 506.2l: overdrafts. s276,-
800. II: banking houses and fixtures.
s667, 426. 50; other real estate ana
property. s62s, 525: 2l: expenses and
taxes paid. S229. 235.3 "a: money in
banks. ST, 900, ,0Ol. Al; cash and cash
items, 81, 594, ,066. 81: total. $50, ,402,-
351. II.
Commenting on these figures, Mr..
T ,Cl -; ~ Ia ~
of banks has increased from l79 to
2l2. the capital stock has increased
1913 900, an average OF $4,000 to each
bank. That the institutions are run
on an economical oasis is shown by
the expense account and we find by
examination Of reports that the Off
GERS holding the larger shares of
stock are keeping their own salaries
down to living basis merely, while
we further notice that institutions
having branches and employing out
side talent are remunerating such
employees in fairly liberal manner.
In this connection | am OF the opin-
ion that the banking business has in
creased IN proportion to other branch
es and know of no points lacking pro-
per facilities. That our banking
llUuSeS dIc UeCOLllIS IHOlC dllu UCl-
ter prepared to meet the demands of
home customers is shown by the grat-
flying decrease in rediscounts and
bills payable. With deposits aggre-
eating SIG. 100000 we find only $3.50.
900 in 1900. when deposits were only
SS. 500. 600. The magnificent gain in
deposits irom SIS, 600. 900 in 1900 to
sl6. POO, 900 in 1902 is something for
which this state may well be proud.
And the further fact that the cash
reserve. as shown by money in banks
and cash aud cash items, Of nearly
s6, 500, 900, or small fraction more
than 40 per cent of the deposits, is a
further evidence that the days of
wildcat banking are gone, along
with the bad man of the frontier. .
Mr.. LeClaire confines himself
strictly to the state and private
banks, the statistics as to national
banks being entirely in the hands of
General Geo. A. Silsby, national
bank examiner.

had an acqua intance with the writer,
but concluded that he had not, and
tie letter was carefully deposited in
his official waste basket. About three
days later another mandatory mis-
sive came TO him from the young lady.
This time the request for call was
still more urgent, and still unex-
plained. Representative Richardson
dictated a brief missive to the young
lady. calling her attention TO the fact
that he did not know her and knew no
reason why he should call upon her.

humble apologize note. The young
lady was having trouble with her
