How Banks Have Grown.
The resources of our national banks
have practically doubled in the last
seven years. In 1897 the aggregate
national bank resources amounted to
SO, ,446, ,03S 1918; on the date of the
last report the resources had reached
Sc, ,655,9SS. 6S6.63, an increase of $3,-
2O9 $40 $3.50. That increase, it may
be noted, Is very nearly equal to the
aggregate deposits at the present time.
In the seven-year period the loans
and discounts have increased from
81, 1856, ,262 ,264.33 10 $3,595,019.47, a
gain of 81 ,70S, ,791 ,2O314, or something
in excess of so per cent.
The large proportionate gain OBJ
served IN the returns of the national
banks. is found in the individual de-
posits. These grew from 1869 ,219,-
961 .2S, in 1897, to $9,312, ,439 s40.99, in
June of the present year, an increase
of $1,643, ,219 ,S7971, or something in
excess of 9S per cent. For all prac-
tical purposes this was doubling up
in seven years A strong evidence
of the confidence of the people. This
item of individual deposits, taken in
connection with loans and discounts,
lis especially significant as evidencing
business growth in the nation.
On March 8, 1897, the national banks
of the country held 1921 ,61O, 900 worth
of United States bonds to secure cir
culation. and had national bank notes
to the amount of 1902 655, 4OS out

held $4O9, ,977, ,25O worth Of United
United States bonds to secure cir
culation, and had $699, ,5S3, $3.50 of
ma ional bank notes in circulation
That is an increase of $17S,S66, $50 OF

1891 banks of the country had an ag-

Opposition to the Measure Proposed
BY Council.

The proposed ordinance, appointing
the board of city assessors and pre-
scribing the authority of that body, as
published yesterday, appears to meet
with considerable opposition as pre-
scented, both within and without the
council, The ordinance, as read, was
opposed at that time by some of the
four aldermen present, and under the
rules went over until the next meeting,
tomorrow night. AS framed, the ordi-
nance fixes the pay of the three assess
sors at $15 per days each-whereae
the pay heretofore has been So per day
each, Other provisions of the ordi-
nance, also, are distinct departure
from the procedure heretofore obtain
ing. One of the aldermen said yester.
day that he opposed the measure as it
stood, and there are probably others.

% the proposed measure was killed,
and only those medicines are taxed as
heretofore came under the provisions

pose a special tax upon the druggists
created a STIR throughout the state, and

OF Minister Leishman in behalf OF
American citizens in the Sultans do
mains. The squadron, which is COM
manded by Rear Admiral c. T. Jewell,
will start for the East on Sunday or
Monday and win await instructions at
Smyrna. The trip will take about three
days.
Not only have these decisive orders
been given the European squadron, but
II is expected the battleship squadron,
which is due at Gibraltar by Monday,
will be detained in that vicinity. If
necessary it will be sent 10 the Eastern
Mediterranean to reinforce the cruiser
squadron.
Secretary Hay suggested the advisa-
bility of sending a squadron TO Turkish
waters at the Cabinet meeting yester-
day. He had then just received word
of the failure of Minister Leishman to
receive satisfaction from the Sultan in
answer to American demands. The
Cabinet concluded the situation had
reached a stage that called for a naval
demonstration. President Roosevelt
was fully in accord with the idea of
sending a squadron to the East. 1t is
probable the battleship squadron would
have been sent had il not been at sea
and out of reach Of the cable. Under
the circumstances it was felt that no
time was TO be lost, and orders were
given the European squadron.
The battleship squadron consists Of
the modern battleships Kearsarge, Ala
bana, Iowa, Illinois, Maine and Mis-
souri, 1t is commanded by Rear Ad-
miraI Barker and is the most powerful
SQUADRON Of the navy.
The European squadron consists OF the
protected cruisers Olympia, Baltimore
and Cleveland. The cruiser Des Moines.
a sister ship to the Cleveland and a
new vessel. has been added to the Euro
pean squadron and will start across the
Atlantic on August 20. The Olympia,
which was Admiral Dewey's flagship at
Manila, is now the flagship of Rear
Admiral Jewell.
Should the two squadrons be COM
bined ii is evident that they would
form a formidable force. 1t Is obvious
such feet would exert a powerful
moral effect.
Just what course Rear Admiral Jewell
IS expected to follow is not disclosed
1t is known everything will be done TO
avoid complications with other Euro
pean countries. While it Is not expected
that 1t viii be necessary for the Euro
pean squadron to commit any hostile
act, it is nevertheless admitted at the
State Department that the situation is
delicate and trying one.
