or 60 per cent of the retail trade of the
country is settled by means of checks
and other credit instruments. Over 90
per cent. of the wholesale trade is done
with credit Instruments"
Such are the conclusions of DIR. David
kinley of the University Of Illinois, eX-
pressed IN monograph which the ma
uunal monetary commission VIII issue in
a day or two, under the title of The Use
Of Credit Instruments III Payments IN
the United States"
During 1909, DIR. kiulcy made an in.
vcStlgatlon of this object through the in
strumcutallty of the commission and the
comptroller of the currency. lnterroga,
tories were sent to all kinds Of banks.
National Banks Lead.
The aggregate retail deposits of March
l6, 1909, which was the day on which
the banks were requested to report their
retail deposits, showed some interesting
facts, according to DR. Kinley. The
largest amount of deposits was
i'll the returns Of the national
banks, where the percentage of
checks was III, the highest shown by
any class of banks The loan and trust
companies next came with 49, per cent,
but their total deposits were only about
one-eighth of those of the national banks.
The third in order was the state banks,
the percentage of credit paper in their
deposits being 70 in deposits amounting
to about 40 per cent. of the national
banks. The private banks, with less than
SIoOoooO deposits reported GS.4 per
cent of checks. Stock savings banks
with deposits Of less than $500 900
showed 64l per cent Mutual savings
banks had 1873 per cent in checks IN
deposits Of less than $4,000.
Sees Element of Danger
The transaction Of 50 large volume
of our business by checks is an element
of dagger in times of stringency AND
crises" says DR.. Knley. In such
times the uncanceled balances Of credit
transactions creates n larger demand
for money, but the habit OF settling
by check has meantime kept tho avail
able amount Of money ut q minimum.
Consequently there ought to DO some
means Of supplying additional currency
when credit a. means OF payment dI.
mnished This currency ought to be NJ
safe and rs uniform as the ordinary
currency
