Austrian Banks Strong
Deposits, Reserves and Profits
Never Higher

Amsterdam, July Is correspond
ence) The banks Of Austrla-Hungary
are in a very strong position, accord
inc TO the Vienna correspondent of the
Amsterdam "HandelsblGd." "Never
before" he writes, "were the deposits,
reserves or profits of the banks of the
Dual Monarchy higher than at pres
ent" The writer asserts that the de-
mands for capital after the war, which
are expected TO be enormous, Will hnd
the Austria and Hungary banks in a
position to meet them.
There has also been process of con-
solidat;on and accumulation of re-
serves by industrial, commercial and
agricultural organizations. With a
few exceptions, the correspondent as
serts, the Austro- Hungarian business
world is everywhere marked by REIN
forcement. All financial institutions,
writes this correspondent, have proited
from the capital utilized in numerous
new business enterprises.
This, he adds, is shown by the gem
orally increased dividends paid by Aus
trian and HunNarian banks for 1915.
These banks invest in enterprises
which in other countries are not nor
mally exploited by national banks.
These und rtakings include the de-
velopment If shipping companies, coun-
try estates, cafes, theatres and stores.
The increased earnings shown by the
banks is declared by the correspondent
TO reflect increased profits in these
various industrial or commercial en-
terprises

N. Y. State Banks
Pay Nearly Fourth
Of Liberty Loan
Trust Companies Were the
Largest Subscribers, TAX
ing $319,3O1,2 ESQ

Albany, July 29.-State banks In New
York and their patrons subscribed for
nearly e-quarter of the s2,000,000, 10
Liberty Loan recently foated by the
United States government, according
to a report made public to-day by the
State Banking Department, their total
subscriptions having been s467,597,i ,i23.
This amount, said the report, was
within Sl30,O00,OOO of the total amount
requested by the government from the
so-called New York District, which in
cluded all of New York State and
parts of New Jersey and Connecticut.
The total amount allotted to this dis
trict was S596,OOO,OOO, while the total
subscribed was approximately Sl,200.-
100000.
Trust companies, the report shows,
were the largest subscribers, their
total being S319,3O1,2 ,25O, while the
banks of deposit and discount were
next, with $1O4,76S,21O. Savings banks
subscribed for $23,25O,34O and OBJ
tanned subscriptions for s12,S92 ,563
additional. Private bankers under the
supervision of the department sub
scribed for S1,2S9,71O for themselves
and customers, and savings and loan
associations took s1,471, 900 worth Of
the Liberty bonds.
Withdrawals from savings banks
from June % to July u, as reported to
George I. Skinner, Superintendent Of
Banks, the report said, amounted to
S56,227 ,O6SO9, while total deposits dur
ing that period were Si5, ,710, and it
is estimated that ss,2SS 1882 of the with
drawals went for the purchase of Lib
erty bonds.
The 2l0 state banks of deposit and
discount under the supervision Of the
State Banking Department increased
their resources from February % tc
June 90 this year from 1862 2,623.2 .281 to
sS98, ,585, ,696, a gain of s35, AIS. Dur
ing the same period the deposits OF
these institutions increased S3l $685.
the total on June 20 being 1856, ,977.415.
On June 20 private bankers under
the supervision of the department had
total resources of Sl5,0l9,322 and total
deposits Of S9,79S,021.

mittance is steadily growing. The
economic saving is enormous, for,
through the workings Of the coun-
tTy's clearing houses, it means a
great reduction in the amount of
currency that has to be transferred.
Some interesting figures on Clearing
House operations have been pre-
pared by the American Bankers As
sociation. 1t says that the number
and volume of out-of-town checks
are constantly increasing. The vol
ume has reached the mark of $780,
000,000,000 annually, and the num-
ber now being handled is at the rate
Cf over 723,O0O,OOO a year. There
are eleven well organized country
clearing houses in the United
States. In the three months ended
June 80 these institutions handled
1851 $50 out-of-town checks, aggre-
getting S844, ,723,956. AT the New
York Clearing House 2,156,519
checks were handled during the
quarter, aggregating $439, ,5S7,274.
The cost Of handling averaged
$C.OO51 per check and S0.O25 per
81, 900. The American Bankers As
sociation believes that, as a result of
the service rendered and great saw
ings effected, some plan should be
worked out whereby additional
country clearing houses would be
and united in a national
association, affording an agency
through which checks on every town
in America might be handled to ad-
vantage.

Monday July so, 1917

While the market for long term
investment issues suffered from
neglect during the last week-a con-
dition which has been existent for
many weeks nova quickening IN
the demand for high yield note Sc
curities stood out as bright spot IN
the situation. Brisk buying of a
number of new short term issues is
reported at the moment, develop
ment that is stimulating consider
able fresh corporate financing OF
this character. A number of rail-
wav and industrial corporations
have sold notes recently. Last week
the Canadian government came into
the market for S1OO,0O0,O00 of two
year 3 per cent notes, which syndl-
cate of bankers is selling on a yield
basis of slightly more than per
cent. This is a high rate for coun-
try of Canada's standing to pay for
funds, but the bankers insist that it
is necessary in order to attract in
vestors, who are generally demand
ing greater returns on their invest
nents. With gilt edged short term
issues bringing 6 per cent and bet
ter it is not surprising that the bond
market should continue stagnant.
The turnover of listed bonds showed
little change last week. The price
range was irregular, with the ma
iority of issues showing net losses
o. the trading for this period. For
eign securities as a rule sold off, the
outstanding Canadian issues declin-
ing 1 to 2 points. This, of course,
was due to tta new Canadian fiota-
ton.
New-York tribune., 1917-07-30

The point is being made in i'm
portant Wall Street banking circles
that the government, through the
Treasury Department, should un-
dertake closer control of the local
money market. Such move, 1t is
argued, would be advantageous to
the government, the banks and COM
mercial borrowers, for the reason
that it would keep money rates on
more even keel. If handled properly
there would be less frequent occur
renee of the periodical tightening Of
money rates, followed by pro-
nounced ease. The way to do this,
the bankers point out, is to take a
leaf out of the British book. The
English authorities have been very
successful since the early months Of
the war in keeping money rates
steady. They have done this largely
by sales of Treasury bills. These
have been issued over the counter,
running for comparatively short
periods, and have proven an at
tractive investment for the banks.
By regulating the sale of these bills
the British Treasury has found
them a convenient means Of con-
trolling the London money market.
Here the medium that could be used
il TO be found in the certificates Of
indebtedness, of which Secretary
McAdoo has issued several hundred
millions of dollars worth. Bankers
who advocate closer governmental
control of the New York money
market insist that were the Treas
Try Department to keep up a steady
flow of the certificates this would af-
ford a good means of keeping money
rates stable. AS matters now stand,
funds accumulate here and cause
great ease. Then suddenly the gov
crnment makes heavy Withdrawals.
Immediately money rates harden.
This happened a fortnight ago,
when call loans went to 10 per cent
or the Stock Exchange. With a
steady flow Of Treasury certificates
being issued, while others were
steadily coming due, the banks
would be assured Of an excellent
short term investment, which at the
same time would keep the govern
rent in funds without seriously dis
turbing money rates every little
while, as is now the case.

excellent results in the spring bring
up the total to normal Russia, IN
spite of late frosts and cold, faces a
favorable situation on the whole, ana
may hope for results equal at least 10

The report then deals with the Unit
ed States. and finds that prospective
losses due to had weather have been
overcome, so that the crop total may be
expected to be about 2i9 per cent pet,
ter than last year, even though SUI!
18 per cent behind the average.
OF Canada the report says that the
next crop may be counted upon as 4
per cent better than last year and 10
per cent better than the average for
the last five years. In India, conclude
the report, the situation is excellent,
the production being l9 per cent better
than last year and . per cent above
the average.

New-York tribune., 1917-07-30

Money has worked into an easy
position again. Banks last week
were liberal with their offerings OF
day-to-day funds, so much SO that
the rate fell to 215 per cent and
lower for call loans at the Stock
Exchange. Owing to the fact that
most of the leading institutions are
proceeding cautiously in the matter
of putting funds out on time, rates
or loans of this character, while
easier, were not lowered correspond
iugly. Commercial paper ruled
around per cent and a shade
below. Few bankers look for any
additional strain on the money mar
ket as a result of the current in
stalment Of the Liberty Loan, as so
large a portion of the subscriptions
have already been paid in, deprlv-
ing the instalment periods Of their
active Importance. Large estimftes
Of the governments war expetdl-
lures have induced a certain amount
of caution among bankers, but IN
general the feeling seems 10 be Slat
the money market, having weathered
successfully the July l period, can
not be relied upon henceforth to
take care of the huge governmental
and other periodical demands with
cut undue disturbance.
