BANK DEPOSITS SHOW A 4
DECREASE OF OVER MILLION IN
YEAR; GRAIN MONEY NOT IN YET

ords at the close Of business septem-
Der 8.
The statements issued at the close
OF business September IL, 1919,
showed an increase of $3,249a993,48
over the deposits for the year preyi-
GUS. This represented a gain Of owe
SO per cent from August 81, 1913, to
September 12, 1919.
Various reasons are given by local
bankers for the decrease during the
past year.
Grain Not Moving.
In the first place. farmers OF North
DakotasareS not selling their grain at
this time, and deposits from country
banks are mot coming into the central
points as they did a year ago.. It is
estimated that the deposits from
country banks in Grand Forks should
average $500, 900 or 100000 daily at
this time of the year, but. because
farmers are holding their grain and
because transportation facilities him
der the shipment of grain, this amount
of money is not coming in as yet.
Bankers are somewhat at a loss for
an explanation for the holding of
grain on the part of the farmers.
They do not believe that the farmers
are holding out for more money, for
it generally is believed that the
farmer is satisfied with the prevailing
price.
State Bank Enters In.
The Bank of North Dakota also has
played a material part in cutting

down deposits III city banks during
the summer. The State bank also has
created another situation which has
been somewhat difiicult for banks In
the smaller communities, presumably
banks that were not friendly to the
Nonpartisan league. Local bankers
report that during the past month or
50 country bankers. after they already
had made loans commensurate with
resources. ETC., these bankers have
come into the city and made demands
for more money. They declared they
had to do so because the Bank Of
North Dakota had recalled its deposits
on very short notice. Il
The August. 16 statement OF the
Bank OF North Dakota showed bills
payable OF q million dollars. SO it
readily cab be zen why General
Manager Cathro had to recall much OF
his deposits in a number OF the coun-
try banks. Many Of these country
bankers told local bankers, upon
making additional loans, that here
after they would not accept deposits
from the Bank of North Dakota, for,
after basing their years activities up
to have affairs brought to a crisis by
a sudden demand for the withdrawal
of state bank deposits.
Naturally, the necessity for making
additiopal loans at local banks has re-
duced the deposits of country banks
at this time. n

Bankers believe, however, that the
movement of grain will be well undAf
