plenty of money in the United States.

statistics of dazzling millions.
It shows that on June 80 last if
all the money in circulation, exclu-
sive of the treasury reserves, were
divided among the population, every
citizen would have $34.56. That per
capita wealth is greater than it has
been for number of years. 49,.
If the wealth in the treasury were
divided among the people every one
| would get $3.50. That is the highest
per capita amount since 1908.
In number, capital and deposits
Inc banks of the country have grown
considerably since a year ago. On
June 80, 1912, there were 28,995 banks,
with $2,OSO,S43,505 capital and ST.
494, 067, 606 deposits. A year later the
