WHY DEPOSITS INCLEAsE. - Bank
Commissioner Albaugh says that sit is
impossible to give specific reason why
deposits should have increased SO much
in recent months. 1t wasn't the sea-
son when farmers were selling any
stuff. 1t was their planting season;
the time when they draw money out
instead of putting it in. The only rea-
son for the growth of deposits is the
increase in the general development OF
the state"
