Eight MiIIions Les After the Autumn
The reports of the state banks OF
Nebraska at the close Of business No
vember 30 have been compiled by Sec
rotary Royse of the state banking
board. showing a total deposit of $73..
2S3,626.75. This is a decrease Of only
100000 from the high water mark
reached in August.
OF the report Mr.. Royse said:
although the demand upon the
banks for money has been unusually
active during the last two months,
caused largely by the impossible con-
dition of the country roads. making 1t
almost impossible for the farmers to
market produce of any kind. and the
increase of loans over four and one
half millions of dollars since the re-
port of August 81, last, the banks are
running strong, carrying an average
reserve Of over twenty-six per cent.
being almost double the amount re-
Quired by law.
'The deposits amount to over sew
enty-three and one-quarter millions of
dollars, being only about one and one
half million dollars less than the
amount reported August 81, 1909.
which was the high water mark in the
history of this state. This Is an un-
usually light decrease In deposits for
this season of the year.
Compared with one year ago the
number of banks has increased thirty
four, deposits have increased nearly
eight millions of dollars, and loans
and discounts have increased $1O,3OO,-
10000.

healthy condition generally and there

Death Of Mrs. Barton.

Mrs. s. r. Barton, wife of the state
auditor, died at her home in Lincoln.
She had been confined to her bed but
short time and death came with
suddenness that found the family en-
tirely unprepared. The remains were
taken to Aurora, her former home, for
interment. Mrs. Barton had not en-
joyed good health for several years,
but her troubles were not considered
dangerous. A complication of long
standing ailment in virulent form re-
suited in her final illness and death.
