BANKS AND TRUST
COMP PAN|ES REPORT
Gains in Deposits in One
Year Nearly 50, 900, 900.
Flatrering Showing of Financial Insti-
tutions, Including Savings Banks
That Publish Statements.

The reports Of the national banks
and trust companies OF this city on
January 29 as required by law show
that ths total deposits were $46, ,17g, ,25s,
and the total loans and discounts $685.
79es076. In comparison with the reports
as made on January IL Of last year, it
shows a net aggregate gain Ia deposits
of s., ,g17, $50 and loans of 81 4S8. $40
This is a most gratifying condition
of affairs. more particularly as the call
of this year. coming somewhat later
in the month than that OF 1905, did not
show up as well as an earlier date
would have done. The losses and gains
are about even among the banks. which
aggregate about half a million increase
in deposits, while the trust companies
have grown rapidly into favor and make
up five-sixths OF the increa5a. In loans
and discounts the banking institutions
have fully kept pace with the demands
upon them.
To the reports of the national banks
should be added the several savings
banks that publish periodical state
ments and which are appended TO this
article as showing their increasing favor
with the public making the aggregate
Of deposits in our banking Institutions
approximating the magnificent sum Of
$50, ,Oo0,O0
When it is considered that the past
two months have marked more or less
stringenCy in the money market and a
demand which has forced interest rates
high enough to be attractive 20 those
having idle funds, the showing is one
that there Is much reason 10 De proud
of. The amount Of reserve as required
by law is but - per cent, but generally
our banks carry much larger quantity
of available cash assets, and at this
time notwithstanding the increase OF
loans. thew art much IN excess Of the

No Danger to Home Interests

in the course Of his testimony the Sec
retary declared il absurd that the beet
sugar industry of this country would be
injured by the passage OF the bill.
He called attention to the fact that
the United States consumption of sugar
exceeds the supply raised in this coun-
try by 1.100000 tons, The price of sugar
in the market in which they sell their
product is what interests the beet plant
ers In this country. and this price de-
pends upon the cost OF production of the
highest price sugar that comes over the
tariff wall.
Therefore. said the Secretary, until
the production of sugar In the Philip
pines reaches 1,ic0.0G0 tons its introduC-
ton into this country cannot have the
smallest effect upon the price The most
liberal estimate of the total possible pro-
duction of sugar in the Philippines does
not exceed 400 800 or 500 900 tons per an
mum, and that not for many years to
come. Until enough free sugar is brought
from the islands to supply the deficit be-
tween production and consumption In
the United States the beet sugar farm
ers need be under no apprehension
