The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1905-04-22

The action of Mississippi farmers ia
forming an association to handle the
cotton crop and care for the surplus
will be the entering wedge that will
put thousands of spectators out of
business who have amassed immense
fortunes manipulating the price.
These fellows never saw a bale of spot
| cotton, likely, but they have managed
to control the price and prevent the
producer from getting what it was
worth. The movement is gaining
friends every day and, being a worthy
cause, sfoald be encouraged and main
| tanned &c all hazards.

The last census only gave Missis-
sippi three cities with over 10000 in
habitants, but the next is reasonably
sure to show up nine with that num-
Der. and probably ten. Two or three
of these will likely go over the 25 5000
mark. With a proportionate increase
for the next five, as in the past five
years, the State should show up two
and a quarter million people. 1t looks
very much that way now.

The Strong Financial Institutions
Of the City Their Part in
the Business Life.
National, State and Private Banks
and Trust Companies-Phe-
nomenal Progress.

The year 1905 has emphasized in
most marked manner two features of
the commercial life of Minneapolis;
that is, the constantly growing import
ance Of the city as the financial center
Of the northwest and the substantial
independence Of Minneapolis fnan-
cially.
Banking capital, deposits, clearings
and all the other evidences Of financial
strength continue to increase while the
relations Of the city's banks and fnan-
ciers to the commercial interests of the
northwest show more plainly than ever
that Minneapolis has taken undisputed
place as the money center Of the region.
All local banking records have been
broken during 1905. The largest depos-
it's have been reported, the largest clear
ings for a day, for week, for six
! months and for a year have been
recorded, the largest aggregate of loans,
the greatest savings deposits--and so
on. One large bank reports a gain Of
800 accounts during the year-probably
the largest ever made by any bank in
the west in a similar period. And this
gain was not made at the expense of
any other banking institution as, large
and small, the banks of Minneapolis
have all forged ahead this year. .s
| Balances of country banks are more
numerous than ever on the books of the
large Minneapolis banks at the close
| of 1905. Among the outside bankers
the city is now looked upon as the bank
ing center almost as a matter of course.
An interesting incident serves to illus
trate the force Of this statement. In
the course of the organization Of new
financial institution soon to commence
business in the state, stock subscrip-
| tions were invited from the country
bankers and they. were asked to indi-
cate, when sending in their subscrip-
tions, whether they preferred to have
the new concern located in St. Paul or
Minneapolis. After a good many sub
scriptions of stock had come in they
were examined as to preference, and it
was found that of the forty-one
received, forty had voted for Mime.
apolis and one for ST. Paul.
There is now abundant promise that
these conditions will bring about a
much greater Capitalization Of capital
| in Minneapolis within a few years
There is opportunity in Minneapolis TO,
the organization Of number of insur
ance companies-life, fire and indem
nity-which would employ local capita
now being invested in other directions
and retain millions Of money in the
city and state which now goes to east
ern centers in the form of premiums

doubling it's capital-from 100000 to
100000. It has been very successful
and is now planning to double again.
With 100000 capital it will be one Of
the leading fire companies Of the west.
The surplus funds Of such companies
as these will be available for loans.
Western people who invest in them, in
stock or premium payments, will have
the satisfaction Of knowing that their
money will remain in the west to help
in the development of their own sec
tion. "
The capital stock Of Minneapolis
banks was increased during the year,
thru the doubling Of the capital Of the
Swedish American National bank and
the organization Of several smaller
banks, and is now well over $6,O00,OO0.
Deposits Of the institution doing a
general banking business were $50, 455,
952 at the time of the last statement,
Nov. 8. This was about $7,000,0O0
greater than on Nov. 10, 1904, and
$S,00O,000 larger than at the time of
the August statement. The following
table shows the deposits in detail:

New Banking Houses.

There is not better evidence of the
stability and permanence of the fnan-
cial institutions Of Minneapolis tand
incidentally Of the prosperity and gen
eral commercial soidity Of the. city,
than the movement toward the erection
Of bank buildings of the better class.
The year 1905 saw the foundation laid
for the new First National bank build
ing--to be probably the finest banking
building in the west outside Of Chicago
the erection Of handsome building
for the German-American bank, the re-.
modelling VIRTUALLY a new construction
Of the st. Anthony Falls bank, and the
arrangement for new quarters for the
Security bank in building, which while
not the property of the bank, bears its
name and will be a permanent and pala-
tial home for the institution.
Another interesting development Of
the year is the attention to savings de-

Clearings are not to be taken as an
infallible gage Of the relative business
Of two cities, but they suffice for gen
eral comparison, and it is therefore of
interest to note that the clearings Of
St. Paul this year retained their pro
portion of about 81 or 50 per cent Of
those of MINNEAPOLIS,
