IOWA BANKS AND CROPS.
A Little More Money Will Be Needed
20 Move the Stuff.

Washington, Aug. 29-The following
statement yesterday was issued by the
comptroller of the currency:
For the purpose of ascertaining the
general condition OF the national banks
and their ability to meet the demands
,,pon them incident to the annual
movement of the crops, the comptroller
OF currency, under date of August 4.
1904, sent to the national bank examin-
,srs, with the exception of those whose
districts are comprised within the New
England states and the city of New
York, a circular of inquiry containing
the following questions:
VIII the demand of your section be
greater or less this year than last, and
will 1t come any earlier, or any later?
2. Are the banks In your section bet
ter prepared to meet the demand on
them from their own resources than
they have been in the past year or two?
3. VIII the money required by the
banks in your district come mainly
from their deposits in the reserve and
central reserve cities, or Will they be
large borrowers?
4. Will there be any increase or de-
crease in the amount your banks will
have to borrow?
Replies have been received from
nearly all the examiners and the results
of this inquiry may be summarized as
follows: The demand on the banks
will be about the same as last year and
about the same time with the excep-
ton of those In the following states:
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Ohio. Min
nesota and Wisconsin, where it will be
greater and some two to three weeks
later, and in Indiana and Missouri,
where it will be less and little later.
The banks are generally as well, but
in most cases no better prepared than
they have been in the past year or two
to meet the demands made upon them.
The banks in the following states are
better prepared:
Arizona, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland,
Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New
Mexico, New York, New Jersey, Ne
braska, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Dakota, Texas. Tennessee. Utah,
Virginia, wisconsin. West Virginia,
Wyoming and Washington. The banks
in the states of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Indian territory. Iowa,
Louisiana, Missouri and Oklahoma are
not - well prepared.
