STATE BANKS ARE PROSPEROUS
Report Of Commissioners Moore Shows
Satisfactory Condition.

A prosperous condition OF the state
banks OF Michigan is shown by the
report OF Banking Commissioner
Moore for the year Just ended.
During the year twenty-five new
banks and one trust company were or
ganlzed. 1--WE trust companies and one
society for savings under the super
vision OF the state banking depart
ment.
The increase OF capital invested in
banking institutions during the year is
remarkable. Ten banks have added
$407,500 to their capital stock and.
with the new banks organized, total
OF sl.322.500 has been added TO the
banking capital of the state.
Two state banks went into voluntary
liquidation during the year. There
were no bank failures.
On December l last there were In
the 277 state banks and eighty-eight
national banks OF the state 237, 209 saw
ings depositors. The total depositors
numbered 665.140 and their total de-
posts s25l,Sl2517. the average OF each
depositor being 1878.
AT the last session OF the legislature
the state banking law was amended
SO as to require two examinations
each year The amendment did no.
take effect until in March and the
commissioner has been unable TO ex-
anime all state banks twice.
During the present year. however.
the number OF examiners will be suf-
flcient TO make the necessary exam
nations. The commissioner thinks
the extra examination will produce
good results.
The total expenses OF the banking
department were $24,56S.61 and the
total fees received s2,6S5.35 less.
