Made in Deposits, Loans,
and Surplus.

Proof that the country is prosperous
is given b. the abstract of reports on
condition Of national banks made pub
lie today by the Comptroller Of the
Currency, Lawrence O.. Murray.
The abstract gives the financial con-
ditiOn of the 6,S53 national banks at
the close of business September %, 1908.
The figures speak louder than words,
and the noise Is so pronounced that the
calamity hOwlers cannot be heard. The
resources Of the banks aggregate S,O2i,-

the 14th of that month-the resources
amounted to $3.50, S71.9H. And from
February to September 3. 155 new ma
tiOnal banks were established, thus Civ
ing additional evidence that the people
do not lack confidence in the present
financial system. And this is further
emphasized by the showing in indi-
vidual deposits. which showed a total
of $454S. 135.165. an increase Of nearly
two hundred millions since July is Of
this year. and over four hundred mil
lions since last February
Surplus Grows by Millions.
These 6,s53 national banks show a sur
plus fund OF $3.50, 566, 207. which Is So
OOO,O 600 larger than the surplus fund on
hand last February
That the business Of the banks has
steadily increased is attested by the
loans and discounts, which at the close
Of business September . amounted to
S47JO5lo,I51, an increase Of 13i.937,-0,
since July Is, and an increase OF S52S..
