STATE BANKS
LOSE DEPOSITS
COLORADO BANKS SHOW TEND.
ENCY TO CONFORM TO AFTER.
WAR CONDITIONS CONDl.
TlON is CONSIDERED VERY
SOUND IN EVERY WAY,

Deposits in the banks of Colorado
at the beginning of 1924 were
S299, 9,7S6,O14.22, compared with
$3O4, ,5s5,996.57 at the beginning of
1923, according to compilations made
by the State Board of immigration,
The decrease is but 1.6 per cent,
which is regarded as an excellent
showing in view of the financial de-
preston that has affected the agri-
cultural districts of the west and
northwest for the past two years.
These figures indicate that loss of
deposits in Colorado has been higher
IN the past twelve months than in
any other state in this section of the
country.
During the period there have been
increases in deposits in 81 counties
OF the state and decreases in 80
counties. Two counties have no
banks. In general way it may be
said that bank deposits have in
creased in the mining counties, the
San Luis valley, the principal fruit
growing counties and the counties
where there was large production of
sugar beets. There have been de-
creases in Denver, Ell Paso and Pu-
eblo counties, which include the three
largest cities in the state, and most
of the non-irrigated farming coun-
ties have shown decreases. The fig
ures generally reflect economical
conditions in the state rather accu-
IA .ely, as the districts in which de-
p' sits have increased are quite
pl; inly more prosperous than they
were year ago.
Loans and discounts have been
further reduced in the past twelve
months as the banks have continued
their efforts to accommodate their
business to the conditions that con-
fronted them when the postwar
period of depression began in 1920.
At that time loans carried by banks
in all parts of the country were
heavy and great difficulty in collec-
tions was met when the depression
struck the agricultural districts.
Loans and discounts at the beginning
of the year We're SlSS. .994, ,720.92,
compared with $193,293, ,542.59 at
the beginning of 1923. Loans have
been reduced very sharply in the ag-
ricultural districts, where land was
the security behind much of the out
standing paper. Inquiries made re-
Gently by the cooperative crop re-
porting service of the state show
that the average value Of land per
acre for the state has fallen rather
sharply in the past year, a continua-
ton of the decline that began in
1920. It has been necessary to re-
duce bank loans materially to meet
this loss in the value of the security
behind the loans.
Banks of the state may be regard
ed as being now in sounder posi-
tion as regard to loans than they
have been at any time since the de-
preston began.
