BANK RESOURCES OF J. 5. SHOW ENORMOUS
 GAINS
Total Resources of American National Banks Greater than Those of Germany, Eng land, Russia and France.
INCREASE HAS BEEN
 GREAT DURING YEAR
Comptroller of the Currency States That the Country was Never in a Stronger Financial Position.

 WASHINGTON, April 12-Fin- ancial prosperity and strength is greater in the United States to- day than ever before and is rais- ing rapidly to new levels, accord ing to the interpretation placed by the comptroller or the curren- cy on figures made public today showing conditions on March :. the date of the last bank call, in the country's national banks. Here is what the returns show:
 Total resources of national banks $I3,S3S, ,O00, ,000. an increase of $2.27l,0o0,GG0 or twenty per cent within year.
 Total deposit s10,790O00,000, an increase of S2.10S.000.00 or near ly twenty-five per cent within a year, and an increase of S411, ,00O,- 900 since December 3l last. An increase of S990, 100000 in loans and discounts within year. Sur plus and individual profits Of Sl.031, PTS. 600. an increase of sIS.- 100000. The increase in resources within the past twelve months alone. Comptroller Williams point ed out in a statement tonight, eX- ceeds the entire resources of the Reichs bank of Germany: and the aggregate resources of Ameri- can national banks. exceed by s. 0U0, 100000 the aggregate resour- ces Of the Bank of England, the Bank of France. the Bank of Rus sia. the Reichsbank of Germany, the Netherlands, the Swiss Ma tional Bank and the Bank of Japan.
 As recently as 1896. the state ment says, the entire amount on deposit in national banks within the United States was less than the increase in deposits within the past twelve months.
 Total reserves held by national banks March :. were S2.227 .000.- GOO. This is $99 9.o00. .OO0 more than the law requires and is more than $100,000.000 in excess of the great est surplus reserve ever held be- fore.
 Tt is conservatively estimated" reads the comptroller's statement, that the surplus reserve now held by the national banks would be sufficient to give a further loaning power of S3.000. .000, ,O00 to S4.000.- 100000 should the growth and de- velopment of commerce, agricul- ture or industry call for such an enlargement of credit.
 Notwithstanding the Anglo French loan of s500.OO0.0O and the loans made to other foreign powers, amounting to several hun dred million dollars additional. which our banks 10 a greater or less degree have participated. there are no indications of un- sound imitation or excessive loans. and the national banks of the country have never been in a stronger position than they are at this time"

w. E. Spencer. counsel for the com mission admitted that there were only 5000 bales available now and intimated that harvester concerns had bought up the entire market in order to discredit the planters organization. Senator Gronna suggested that it might be necessary to investigate the twine manufacture in order to safe guard the farmers.
 NIT. Bailey denied that there ever had been any agreement between Ar thur Pierce. Yucatan agent for his company. and Avelino Montes. who represented the Harvester company there. and asserted his firm. which supplied most of the sisal to the Plymouth Cordage company. never had any relations with the Harvester concern here. He said that except for the compulsion of the planters to join the commission. his firm could com pete with the Reguladore.
