RICHMOND BANKS

K. On another page we print comparative
4 statement from Mr.. W. M. Habliston,
president of the National Bank OF Vir-
stnia, showing most satisfactory con-
dition of the banks Of Richmond. inc
statements Of September 9Th show an IN
crease in four months Of over N,ao' oOo
n deposits, and over s1,ooo,0Oo In cash.
There Ia no better evidence OF the sub
sstantial growth Of Richmond than IS
found in the steady progress Of our bank
ing institutions. N
In 1880 the deposits Of the Richmond
banks and trust companies amounted 20
xs, rs, 900; in 1897 they amounted to 3d.
$4,000 an increase of 81 ,o3s, 900 in seven
wears. But on September 9th, 1908 the
denosits amounted to s23,07o,0oO,, an In
crease during the past six years Of s1a'-
oss 900. or twelve times rs great as IN the
previous seven years. In thirteen years
the deposits have Increased over lSo per
cent. i. 55
Il is also gratifying to state that the
increase in deposits during tho past
three years has been steady On sep
teulber 9Th, 1900, the deposits were Slo'-
o1s 900: on September Both, 1901, ST COY 0oo;
8, September 18TH 1902, slo,o45,ooO; on
september 9th, 1908, s21,57o,ooo. and, In
Guiding two trust companies, we're S2S,-
o7o,ooo.
- II will be seen from this that there has
heen a steady increase of about $1,000. ooo
n year during the past three years rms
4 is all the more gratifying when the the. snow c
ing is compared with the banks OF New
York, which have shown a falling of IN
deposits and an increase In loans ana
discounts. From May 10th, 1902 to Sep
TEMPER 10th, 1908 the New York banks IN n
CREASED their loans and deposits $4,000 900,
and decreased their deposits about Sol'-
co., 600 During the same period Rich
mond Increased its loans about Sl,7oo'ooo
and its deposits nearly S3,ooo,ooo.
This shows our banks to be In thor
] oughly healthy condition, and shows also
that Richmond Is rapidly becoming one
of the most important financial centers
