BANKING CONCENTRATION
IN PAST TEN YEARS
Iron the Wall street Journal


NEW YORK, Jan 19.-The fact that
the National Bank OF Commerce OF ST.
Louis has increased its capital 70
100000 is suggestive Of the remark
able growth OF banking concentration
which is taking place IN this country.
Ten years ago there was not a single
100000 bank in New York, and only
two having a capital Of 10000 About
six or seven years ago two OF the New
York banks increased their capital 70
SO 600 OOG. and later 70 S5,OO0.OO0. The
increase OF individual bank capital has
been accompanied by a process OF alb
sorbing other banks. and this process
has gone on, not only in New York. but
in other cities as. for instance, Boston,
Pittsburg. Chicago, and ST. Louis.
Along with this development there has
been a notable Identification of great
individual banks with great corporation
interests For instance. in New York
there is a bank which is closely identi-
fed with oil, another with copper. an
other with insurance. another with the
beef trust. another with railroads, etc.
This is not an evolution that is pc
culiar TO the United States. for il has
been carried 10 even greater limits
abroad. Great as has been the growth
of concentration in banking ia New
York. il has been inconsideFable as COM
pared with the enormous concentration
in London. OF the total banking re-
| sources in the United Kingdom amount
| ing to $3.50, 00o000, it is estimated by
W. r Lawson that twenty banks in
London represent S2.s3O, 100000, or over
one-half. Nothing Ike this cOuceutra-
| ton OF banking power in a few institu-
| tiOns exists il the United States o.
though In the aggregate -he banking
power in this country is vastly greater
