er j. N. Dolley shows that:
There are TT state banks in
Kansas.
The total deposits in state
banks will amount to 1913, l21 ,2S7.
SO. :
The increase in deposits since
November q, 1908, is 1884, 1885,.
IS.
The increase is the largest ev-
er recorded in Kansas during the
same length of time.
The legal reserve represents 4
per cent of the entire deposits.
The banks Of Kansas were new
er in a more flourishing eondi-
ton than they are at present.
These are just a few of the
prospective items connected with
the statement which is made from
individual bank statements show
ing the condition at the close of
business March 16, when the last
call was made. In speaking of the
showing made by the statement,
Bank Commissioner j. N. Dolley
said:
1.-THE official call statement
given out from this department
shows an increase of deposits in
the state banks of Kansas amount
ing to 1894, 1885, the largest
increase during the history of the
department, for the same length
of time and the aggregate depos-
its are much larger than any
point reached heretofore. The
call for this statement was issued
for March 10th.
1.-THE state banks of Kansas
were never in a more furnishing
condition than they are at this
time and their future is most
promising. The legal reserve on
hand March 18th represents 40
per cent of the entire deposits.
This is a splendid showing and
seldom equalled and shows the
solid, sound basis upon which the
state banks under charter in
Kansas is TIT, a large increase
during the past two years.
1.-THE banks are showing much
interest in the new deposit guar
anty law and from advices reach
ing this office it is certain that
they all intend to participate in
it as soon as it goes into effect
which will be after juno 90th.
The more the law is studied and
investigated by the bankers the
better they are pleased with it
and the more certain they feel
the results will be most benefic-
ial to the state banks of Kansas
as well as offering absolute Sc
curity to the depositors and
thereby insuring confidence and
stability to the commercial inter.
est Of our state"

HORSE sPECTACLEs,

The business of one we'll known
firm Of opticians in England consists
largely in the manufacture of horse
sDectacles. The object Of the, spec.
tacles is to promote high stepping.
They are made of stiff leather, en-
tireIy closing the eyes Of the horse,
and the glasses used are deep con.
cave, and large in size. The ground
seems to the horse to be raised, and
he steps high, thinking he is going up
hill or has to step over some OBJ
stacIe. This system Of spectacles ii
generally adopted while the horse is
young. and Its effect on his step and
action is said to be remarkable. II
has been discovered that the cause
Of a horses shying is, as a rule, short
sight. and 1t is now suggested that
the sight Of all horses should be
tested. like that Of children. Boston
