Des Moines. March 13.--Thc banking
department Of the state auditors office
Is greatly rejoced at the showing OF
the cons olidated statement of the state
and savings banks and trust compan-
les as made up from the reports to the
state auditor showing the condition Of
these Institutions at the close OF bust
ness on Feb. Ia. The chief cause
for congratulations is that In spite of
the panic and the withdrawal OF de-
$9,16l .010 in the amounts due deposit
ors over the statement of Jan. &c. 1907.
The report on Jan. &c, 1907. showed
an Increase OF S9,012,7S3 over the
amount due depositors for the same
time in 1906. Sc the increase this year
Is up to that of last. There were
resulting in many people withdrawing
their deposits would result in very
much less increase
Ibc itPpiL Nioo All lHSltuSc III
the capital stock OF banks and trust
companies since Dec. 3, 1907. of $107,-
500 and an Increase in surplus since
Dec. 3. 1907, of $223.299. The total
amount In Iowa banks and trust COM
panies due depositors on Feb. IA,
of this year was s19s.967076 the
total capital stock was $2s, 434. 400, the
surplus $b,642,Il6, and the undivided
profits s5.o29.517.
There is decrease OF $519373 in
the amount due depositors since
Dec. 3 last but IT. is believed this
is due TO the fact that there are many
settlements of financial affairs on
Jan. ! necessltating Withdrawals.
There is a decrease of S6d5,590 in I'M
divided profits but this is due to the
custom OF banks in dividing their div
idends and profits on Jan. l. There
is always a decrease in that item at
this time of the year.
The item that gives the banking de-
partment chief cause for congratula-
tons Is the fact that the average re-
serve in the banks Of the state has
jumped from 1875 per cent on Dec. 3,
1907, to 21.9 on Feb. IA, showing
that the scare Of last fall is having
It's effect on the banks and that they
are increasing their reserve against
possible catastrophies in the future.
