ABOUT THE STATE BANKS
Large Figures Are Shown as Evidence
Of Firm Financial Foundation

White Sulphur Springs char
acteristic breyity, State Bank Com
missioner S. v. Matthews delivered an
address to the West Virginia Bankers
association which contained a great
many figures and facts that show how
the banking business in this state has
grown. He referred in his opening to
the great increase in deposits in the
banks of the state, and then made a
comparison which showed the increase
with relation to the increase in popu-
lation. Mr.. Matthews said:
''In 1900 there were AZ national
banks, the deposits of which amount
ed to $15,549,000 (as taken from the
report of the comptroller of the cur.
rency). In 1910 there were 103 ma
tional bank with deposits Of $42.731,
900, showing an increase of $27, $4,000
or IT'S pei cent.
I'm 1900 there were 80 state banks,
the deposits amounting to $21, 324,O00.
and in 1910, 127 state banks, with de-
posts of $59.19S,O00, showing an in.
crease of s37,S74,0OO, or 17S per, cent
These figures show that the in.
crease in state and national banks to
gether amount to $65,056,000, or l76
per cent. The census of the state OF
West Virginia for 1910 shows an in
crease of II per cent in population for
the last ten years, while the desposits
in the banks have an increase of 17G
per cert.
Gentlemen, this is remarkable
showing for the banking business OF
our state, and something you should
be proud of, and know of no other
state that can equal it. will say
further that the Improvement in serv
ice has been in about the same pro-
portion, and to-day West Virginia with
her natural and largely undeveloped
wealth can look upon her bankers with
confidence and assurance that with
their aggressiveness and honesty the
business interests will be competently
taken care of. You can not go to any
city in the state without being I'M
pressed by the beautiful and up-to-date
bank buildings, most all of which have
been built within the last ten years,
and no business that know OF has
improved as the banking business in
West Virginia.
THE deposits for the last year
show a healthy increase. From June
80, 1910, to June Z, 1911, there was an
increase Of $3,954,48S in state banks.
and s3,976,306 in national banks, max
ing an increase in total deposits OF
$7,930,794.
