TO Our Visitors, Greeting.

To Our Visitors, Greeting
There viii be many visitors in Rich
nond during the present week TO see our
Horse Show and to enjoy the Hospitality
d o. the city. They come primarily Tor
pleasure, but many of them are business
men and will be interested in the mate
g rIal affairs Of Richmond We would di-
rect their attention especially to the OK
hibit made in our columns of Monday by
Mr. w M labliston, president of the
National Bank of Virginia, III which 1t Is
shown that the deposits in our city banks
have more than doubled within the past
seven years, and that they ore now more
!nan three and n half times AS great
MS they were at the corresponding period
In 1890 In december of that year they
amounted t. :S,7i9,S02; in July, 1898. they
lad increased to 81, 1914, and in August
1906 they had increased to S2S,3o'so6.
There was corresponding increase in
loans and discounts, and in the total
banking assets. During the past twelve
months the deposits increased more than
100000, in spite of the fact that In
,l.at year thr government reduced Its
deposits from sl,el7,A7o, TO sia9,9o2.
8ft8rt is vol, known that the State of
4 South Carolina has made great strides
II progress during the past ten years,
ANA If was recently shown by an official
,cnor, that the deposits In all the banks
I#of The State incrca sed during that period
more than one hundred per cent. but
for All that the deposits in the banks
of Richmond to-day are larger than the
total deposits in all OF the banks of the
state of South Carolina South Caro-
glina,s deposits are $2S, 1890; Richmond 8
deposits are scS,305, 956. This Is said in
