home furnishings, it is perhaps not
to much to say that the above figures
will about even up for the city alone.
I Bank statements show a great in
crease in the volume of business
done. The amount of deposits for
1906 up to recent date has been ST.
525, $50. 81 as against sl,097, ,564. 10
for 1905, an increase of $427, 99l. .53.
But perhaps smaller figures may
make comparisons more easy. One
of the leading banks held on deposit
on June Is, 1905, cutting off cents,
s453, 324. On the same date in 1906
the figure was 1881, SIS, an increase
of SITS, PSI. Another leading bank,
going still farther back and giving
accurate and comprehensive figures,
shows that the deposits at the begin
ming of 1900 were s211, 765, and in
1906 s5l2. OBJ, an increase of $500, 272.
An idea of the advance in the
