Bank Report Shows Prosperity.

Denver.-Colorado's state and pri-
vate banks are in flattering condition.
according to statement issued from
the state bank commissioners office.
In January a report was issued giving
figures which broke all records for in
creased resources. The total read $685.
7O9,775.62. The midyear report is al
ways larger than that Of any other
season because 1t contains the bulk
of the money deposited by the agri-
culturists, but the last abstract shows
almost that amount in the total Of
$55 ,426, ,0SS.97-and this during the
dullest season of the year places the
state on a new high record again in
the matter of prosperity. The figures
compiled by the bank commissioner
show bonds and other securities In
the state to the value of $S,794, 4,147.66,
which does not include $685. In
state and savings banks and in trust
companies as bonds to secure postal
savings. They show also that there
is due from reserve banks the sum Of
$40 1924, ,SS9.9S, and from banks not re-
serve s42.7s7.Os. The corresponding
report of the bank commissioner for
last year gives a total of $53, ,799, ,643.s7
