LINCOLN. Neb., April 21.-(special.)-
The state banking board has completed its
compilation OF the returns made by the
various banks Of the state for the quarter
ending March IS. and the compilation
shows the state, especially the western
and rural portions. to be In a most healthy
condition financially. The deposits have
increased over the report Of the last quar-
, ter 81, 619, O01.6 I. AS only the report Of one
bank in Omaha is contained in the COM
~pilation, II is good evidence of the pros
perity Of he agricultural people Of the
state. 1t shows, said the secretary Of the
board, that the farmers instead Of using
the money to pay OF mortgages are putting
their money received for the sale of crops,
into the banks. In many instances the re-
ports show that the farmers are investing
their money in bonds and other securities.
The report shows the number OF depositors
to be 1O4,2s3 and the average deposit $S55.S2.
The reserve is 3S rs per cent. Four hum
dred and eighty-four banks filed reports.
The report also shows that the loans also
have increased over the last quarter and
over the report OF a year ago have In
creased almost IS per cent. This 1t IL
claimed by the ofleials as another indlca-
tion Of the increased business being done,
