BANK DEPOSITS INCREASE
Gain of Two and Half Millions Over
June Of Last Year.

the Report Issued I'm Response
90 the Cali of the
Com ptroller.

Bank deposits in Omaha's banks are
s., 966,9s5 greater this June than at this
time last year The total amount OF money
deposited in Omaha banks, according to
the statement being made up for the
national comptroller Of the currency for
June T. was S55,9S9.074. while last year when
the comptroller made his June call there
were only S5S 622 1S9.
This is regarded as a most substantial
growth OF Omaha banking concerns, as
business conditions are no liveler this
year than last Loans have made an APP
preciable advance also according to the
statement, showing that the alleged tight
ness Of money Is exactly the opposite.
Since March Z, 1911, when the comptroller
made his last call, there is a gain of
S27,ss7. This is also regarded as a good
omen of big gains and business booms COM
ing, as there is generally as much money
in the banks in March as at any time of
the year.
The South Omaha banks are showing a
steady growth.
