BAN KS anC
1916 MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR IN THE
HISTORY OF THE NORTHWEST.
By F. B. COLE.

The banks and financial institutions
of the Northwest have just completed
one of the most successful years of
their history. At time when money
has been so cheap that there has been
danger Of imitation and general
breakdown in the usual methods of
safeguarding loans, the banks here
have maintained a careful attitude
which has been reflected in their ex-
tremely healthy condition enjoyed
throughout the year.
That it has been possible to place
good loans for large amounts on the
market when the largest banks of the
East were attempting to cut into the
natural territory of the Middle West,
is conclusively disclosed in the reports
of the banks issued on the occasion Of
the five bank calls which have been
made in 1915 by the comptroller Of
currency.
At no time have the deposits over
topped the loans and discounts of the
flected unfavorably on the financial
houses of the Twin Cities. Similarly
there has been at no time DISPOSE
ton here to throw money on the mar
ket simply to get rid of it at any rate
possible.
An interesting feature of the year
has been the establishment of new
banks, the large volume of money ap-
parently attracting many of the bank
ing field for investment.
Investment conditions in the Twin
Cities during 1916 afford no parallel
The sunniest optimist would never
have ventured to predict year ago
the tremendous buying power of this
community as reflected in the imme-

date absorption of high class invest
ment offerings. The close of the year
finds the bond houses practically "sold
out" a condition which has been
exasperatingly common to them
throughout the twelve months-and
this in face of the fact that local par
ticipations in the many big under
writings have been doubled and tripled
as compared with the best years pre-
vious. The time has long since passed
when attractive local securities are Of
fered in sufficient quantity to absorb
the surplus funds of local investors,
and so the buyers are looking more
and more to standard outside invest
ments.
1t is stated by prominent bankers
that a greater volume of money was
invested in stocks and securities, other
than local organizations during the
past year than during any previous
periods of two years.
Stocks and bonds of the public ,utili-
ties have been attractive to the local
investors, owing largely to the stabil
ity of earnings and their freedom from
war risks.
From the banking standpoint the
year has been quiet, free from the
usual 1uctuation in rates, and char
acterized by substantial increases in
deposits. The demand for money has
quietly extended until the close of the
year finds the banks with largely in
creased loans and discounts, and with
the prospect that the approaching an
nual meetings will disclose banking
profits quite as satisfactory as in any
previous year. The growth in banking
strength appears healthy, with no
signs of over-expansion apparent.
