IMPROVEMENT IN
ARKANSAS BANKS

Little Rock, June A complica-
ton of statements filed with the state
bank commissioner by the state banks
was presented yesterday by Mr.. Max
we'll and it shows a gratifying upward
trend in bank resources and deposits.
The peak Of resources was reached
May 4, 1920 with $189,064 ,079 80.
This steadily declined during the en-
suing five calls until it reached the
lowest point March 81, 1921. with
$159,763 ,893.40. The statement Just
completed shows that conditions are
beginning to pick up, with total re-
sources of $16O,626,283.9O.
The item of total deposits shows a
somewhat similar course, beginning
with S15O,743,06634 February "a,
1920, and declining with each state
ment to $1O2,4O9, 592.89 on March 81,
1921, since which time there has been
the first increase to total of S105,-
544,880.13. The individual deposits
still show decline, not yet having
commenced the upward trend. The
total at this time being $56,741 ,662 90
as compared with $9s,S44, O39.7s in
February, 1920.
That the state generally however
is beginning to pay its debts is shown
by the fact that bills payable and re-
discounts have decreased from the
peak of S40,246,646.95, which was
reached November Is, 1920, to $27,-
761 ,424.96 in the last report. There
is also very heavy decrease in the
cotton loans, which reached the high
est point May A, 1920 with $685.
86053, which is now reduced to less
than one-third this amount, or $685.
58313.
The legal reserve has increased from
"a per cent in the last report to &c
per cent.
Reviewing the entire situation, Com.
missioner Maxwell considers that the
station is very hopeful and he is
confident that conditions will continue
on the upward trend.
