AMERICAN BANKING RESOURCES.

AMERICAN bANKiNS hESoOnSEo'
While we are tripping talk of bill
lions Of dollars on our tongues these
days, it is interesting to note the re-
sources of American banking as is
sued by the comptroller OF currency,
recently.
We tind that the total resources OF
all the national banks in the United
States is considerably in excess ot
elxteen billion dollars.
Except insofar as the mere mention
of billions" of itself implies q vague
bigness. these figures are not easily
comprekended.
Nor does the further fact that the
Total of these resources Is more than
double what 1t was ten years ago
help us 10 an understanding. what
lever suggestion 1t may convey to the
tremendous growth and development
Of the national banking system.
The Philadelphia Commercial Mus
cum gives an interesting comparison
of The resources of the national banks

the resources of the great banks Of

national banks of the United States
