This increase In deposits has come
since the passage of the act permitting
the organisation of national banks with
as little as $2S.oo capital. and. In the
case both of national banks and of other
financial institutions, in consequence Of
the era Of prosperity which the South
has enjoyed since, with the turn Of the
century, raw cotton began to bring re-
munerative prices to the growers. In
1880 there were GIG national banks in the
South and 2,sS4 in the rest of the coun-
Try. There was a comparatively slow
increase by 1900 to sos in the South,
or at the rate of 1S.s per cent, and to
the rate of ~ per cent. There are now
in the South 2.04s. only forty-seven
fewer than the number in the whole
country in 1850. The increase In number
between 1900 and 1872 was at the rate
OF 1854 per cent in the South and 751
per cent in the rest of the country.
The greater rate of increase in the
South reflects the wonderful develop
ment of the past few years In axricul-
ture, mining. numbering, manufacturing,
and commerce in that section.
