Record Of Financial institutions for
the Year 1905 Shows Remarkable
Prosperity All Over the Dominion.
Ottawa, Canada, March 1.-The year
which has just closed has been one Of
the most satisfactory and progressive
with the financial institutions of Can.
ada, and the business of the charter.
ed banks reflects the unprecedented
prosperity enjoyed throughout the
country during the year 1905.
The increased demands made upon
the banks of the Dominion by the COM
mercial and agricultural expansion OF
the year were provided for without
the monetary disturbances sometimes
noted in the United States. Whatever
opinions may be held as to the COM
position Of the Canadian banking sys-
TEN. it is claimed that its flexible
currency has many commendable
features, and without which the last
few months Of the year must have pro-
duced money stringency with prob
ably disastrous results. 1t is felt that
a wider field of credit in the Dominion
is needed. and consequently the capt.
tai of many existing banking institu-
tons has been increased and several
new banks are in progress of organiza-
ton.
The chartered banks of Canada to-
day enjoy the confidence Of the gen.
eral public to greater extent thar
ever before. The total deposits Of the
people in these institutions last year
were $522,317.0C0 which shows an in.
crease of over $56. 900. 900 for the year.
In actual money in bank probably no
other country in the world. compare
showing than Canada.
The total deposits of the Canadian
people in the Government savings
banks, in special savings institutions.
and in the chartered banks alone
amounted last year to the enormous
sum of $6O9.454,00O This represents
an average credit balance of over
$500 per head of the population of the
Dominion, and 1t is stated that tho
only other country in the world that
approaches this record is Denmark,
where the average credit balance IL
about $3.50 per capita. The above
figures. however, do not comprehend
moneys deposited with private bank
ers. loan companies. mortgage cor
porations and trust companies, or
what is boarded up in secret hiding
places.
The annual report of the Dominion
finance department, which has Just
been issued to the public. shows .
surplus In the Dominion treasury for
the fiscal year Of $7.s63. 900. and refers
to the remarkable increase in the pub.
lie rsvenues during the year.
