total resources for the year ending

panies reporting, as compared with

In commenting ON Trust Company
conditions during the past year, John
". Platten. President OF the United
States Mortgage & Trust Company
says:
"No stronger evidence OF the ,tabil-
itv of Trust Companies has been forth
coming during their entire history than
was demonstrated during the past year
in connection with their banking OPP
eration,. The year ending June 3d.
1921, covered by the latest returns as
given in the, 1927 edition OF Trust
Companies Of the United States"
was one of tremendous recession Of
prices and values attended by reduc-
ton of bank loans, contraction OF Gre
dit and rapid falling of of deposits.
Notwithstanding these adverse con-
ditions. the resources OF the Trust
Companies of the United States, as OF
June 30, 1921, amounted to $l2,323, $780,
GOO for the 1890 companies reporting, a
decrease for the year Of only Sl2S,OOO-
600.
"This situation, coupled with the fact
that a substantial increase is shown in
all branches of fiduciary business, is
extremely gratifying, and affords fur
Their and convincing proof OF the recog-
milton by both corporations and in
dividuals of the value of Trust Com
pany service"
