BANK EARNINGS
SHOW INCREASE
FOR PAST YEAR
Twenty Leading Cities Report
Increase for 1921 as CON-
pared With 1920.

Net earnings OF national banks n
twenty important cities IN as many
States in 1921 exceeded those of 1925
by $3,636, 900
While decreases were shown in
eleven of th2se cities, the gairs In
the other nine more than offset
them.
Largest Increase was in Chicago
Expansion of $2.945, 900 in earnings
was accompa iied by growth of ap
proximately 100000 in capital
invested.
Losses Were chiefly in Southern
cities. Not a single city of the
South increased its earnings in 1921
In case of New Orleans decline is
fully explained by a reduction OF
Sl,250,Oo0 la INFESTED capital but
Tor other Southern cities there is
no such exclamation. In many of
the cities shown no change was made
In invested capital. In others
changes wer.- slight
Largest loss was sustained by
Cleveland. This is more than ex.
planned by reduction in invested
capital from $19.975 900 in 1920 to
$8.325, 900 tor 1921.
New York national banks increased
their earnins;s $4,000, while invest
ed capital ,rcreased approximately
$32, 900, 900.
Seattle showed the lea st change in
net earnings, but there was an in.
crease of about 20 per cent in capital
invested.
Relatively. ST. Louis made the
best record. Net earnings increased
about 20 pc" cent. There was a small
decrease in capital invested.
In numerous cases gross earnings
increased out of proportion to net,
as expenses grew rapidly. In New
York gross earnings increased $l6,-
6S6,O0O, expenses s16,5lO 900, leaving
only $4,000 net gain.
However, bankers believe expenses
for the current year will be ma.
terially reduced. In some quarters
opinion is expressed that they may
be reduced sufficiently to offset ex-
pected reduction in gross earnings.
over forty years national bank
earnings have shown slow but grad.
ual increase. Lean years have not
greatly reduced net income and pros.
porous years have not resulted in
enormous profits.
Net earnings on capital stock of
national banks for past fifty-two
years have. averaged more than l3
per cent.

SOY BEAN IS GOOD
CROP FOR VIRGINIA
Agronomist at v. P. |. Advises
It as Good Substitute for
Wheat Growers.

BLACKSBURG, Va, March 25.-
IL. Il. Redd, agronomist at the Vir.
ginia Polytechnic Institute. saws
soy beans will produce more profit.
able yields in Virginia than wheat.
A statement issued by Prof. Redd
says in part:
That the farmers Of Virginia are
convinced OF the practical value of
soy beans Is proved conclusively by
the rapid increase in acreage de.
voted to this crop during the past
few years.
According to the 1920 census the
number of acres need to soy beans
for seed in this State has increased
from 20 acres in 1909 to 1O,283
acres in 1919, an average Of prac.
ucally 1000 acres per year for the
ten year period.
This enormous increase in acreage
Is due Of course to the fact that
the trainers in the State are begin.
ming to realize the greater money
value of the soy bean crop over
others that have in the past been
produced at very small profit and
In some cases at a loss.
Wheat is being produced in many
sections OF Virginia at a loss. The
y Coi -pooh vi tiit ollItto SldttS lDe-
partment of Agriculture 1920 shows
that the ten year average 0911 to
1S20) yield of wheat for Virginia
was 1928 bushes per acre. The
average of several well kept cost
accounts shows that II costs under
normal conditions, $3.50 to pro.
duce an acre of wheat in this
State.
At normal prices for wheat this
leaves very little, II any profit, be.
yond the cost of production.
Soy beans will under ordinary
conditions produce as large II not
larger yields per acre than will
wheat. The cost of rows or broad
cast has been estimated by com.
petent authorities to cost the same
as that OF wheat, $3.50 per acre.
When we consider that the
market Of soy beans in the past
has been about double that of
wheat IT can be readily seen that it
would be profitable in most sec.
tons OF Virginia to substitute soy
beans for a part of the wheat crop.
The Washington times., 1922-03-26

OF the automobile companies, includ
ing the Ford, Studebaker, and Other
plants, while a good demand fol
commercial vehicles has favorabl,
affected the shares Of nearly all o,
the producers of this type Of ma
chine. The large orders Of the equip
ment companies have resulted in
greatly increased activity on thei,
part with decided advances In value
during the past week or more. Ir
line with these symptoms of bust
ness gain, is the steady growth OF
the demand for copper and the cor
responding decrease in the supply
OF copper stocks on hand. The higher
quotations for copper stocks un
doubtedly point to the spread of a
belief that with fresh business will
come the re-opening of mines and
eventually the resumption Of divi
dends on the part of those who have
suspended them.
Traction Situation Interesting.
In the face of the fact that very
low valuations of local traction prop
critics have been established by the
transit commission, traction shares
have held their own we'll, and in
some cases improved. Many of the
lines are unquestionably worth far
more than the valuation set upon
them by the commission. In the
event or continued difference of
opinion. moreover, they have. of
course. their right Of appeal to the
courts. IT may reasonably be ex.
pected that with the improving eco.
nomic conditions, these stocks will
continue TO gain in strength. That
such Will be the case is indicated
py the shares of other companies
locateo elsewhere, which are already
showing the results OF better traffic.
improving business has also du--
ing the past week led to distinct ad.
Vances In some OF the railroad shares.
especially Of New York Central
which has again been reported 60
likely to make absorptions of sub.
ordinate lines that may increase its
earning and hence its dividend ma y.
ing power. The recent decisions of
the Supreme Court in connection
with railroad rates, especially the
unanimous verdict in the Wisconsin
case. holding that the railroads are
entitled under the transportation act
10 rates that will permit the nav.
ment OF remunerative return on the
entire mileage Of the country. have
had distinct effect in reassur,ne
doubtful buyers Of Transportation
issues
Market Review and Outlook.
There has been well.sustained
volume Of trading during the past
week, and while prices have held
their own tolerably well, there has
been some irregularity and uncer.
tainty. A number of issues have
gone up to points which make thorn
look less attractive, but outside OF
reactions due to profit
taking there Is nothing to indicate
that the top has been reached. Here.
tofore the general public has been
timid in purchasing the stocks OF
which showed moor
in 1921. The better pros
poets now held out are oyercomir q
this reluctance and many now be.
lieve that the outlook is sufficiently
to warrant them in pur-
chasing more freely. Some tempor-
ary or minor recessions are always
to be expected In every general for.
ward movement, but this has no
bearing upon fundamental conli-
tions, which have again reached a
point where they can be regarded

would not be SO complicated as price
fixing for New York city alone. In
population New York city is as big
as Australia; with Jersey City and
Hoboken included. bigger than Aus
