Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, Miss, June 29.-State Audi
tor e. ]. Smith, after much delay,
due largely to the hardness of some of
the bankers in sending in their state
ments, has at last been able to sum-
marize the results and information
submitted by the banking house Off
cials. Auditor Smith includes in the
general summary the figures showing
the business represented not only by
the state banks but also the national
banks, which makes the report still
more useful and comprehensive. Re-
ports were received from BIG state
banks and trust companies, and in ad-
dition from twenty-six national banks
in the state, there being only two or
three remaining to be heard from. AT
ter holding up his report and resting
on the tabulations compiled, for what
seemed reasonable time, rather than
wait longer on the uncertainty the
statement was closed, and as 1t stands
is fairly comprehensive.
The last report made was on March
= IA, 1908, when returns We're received
from 90S state banks, but minus those
from the national banks, over which
: the state auditor exercises no juris
dietion, the total resources of which
totaled $59, ,0S5,55O, and surplus of 81,
747,5O4OS, with paid in capital OF
$12,517,679.55.
The present statement, from "a;
hanks, state and national, gives tota
resources account of $75,S65, O2S.99
surplus and undivided profits of S.
57o,742.99, and paid in capital Of $15,
719,55650.
The report is considered by Audito
Smith to be a most satisfactory and er
couraging one for the season, muc
better than he had expected, and
indicates that the business of tn
state is in a very fair condition for tn
dull season.
