IOWA DEPOSITS ON INCREASE
STATE BANKS SHOW A GAIN OF
100000 IN YEAR.
During Summer When Business il
Slack a Fine Increase
is Made.

Des Moines, Sept. 23.-Special: De
posits in the 1908 banks under the
jurisdiction of the state banking de-
partment increased $5,967,7 14.l9 in
the year from September IA, 1910, to
August 80, 1911, according to a state
ment just compiled by State Auditor
Bleakly and the state banking depart
ment The gain in deposits between
May 20, 1911, and August 80, 1911,
amounted to $2,931 ,O41.7S. These
gains are the largest which have been
recorded for similar periods in some
years and show a uniform prosperity
in Iowa such as has not existed in
some years in this state.
An interesting feature of the report
is found in the fact that while the
banks have reduced the amount OF
their bills receivable they have at the
same time strengthened their legal
reserves. This is regarded by the
state bank officials as most encour-
aging sign.
The statement as to business on
August 80, 1911, as compared with
their statements as of May 20, 1911, is
as follows:
