STRENGTH Of j. S.
+ BANKING IS SHOWN
Treasury Data Reveal I'm.
usual Soundness of Ameri-
can Institutions.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer.

The banking structure of the United
States is shown by figures on file at
the Treasury to be not only sound but
in position Of unparalleled quick
liquidity.
While failures continue to occur from
time to time, positive proof is offered
that fears for the future financial
structure have no foundation in fact.
For instance. it is shown that less
than 4 per cent of the total deposits
of the country have been affected in
the relatively high number of cloSin9s
during the last year. In addition, this
estimate is before making allowance for
deposits restored when a total of 202
institutions reopened after a temporary
shutdown.
New York Banks.
The larger city banks, forming the
hub of the banking wheel with their
possession of 40 per cent of the total
banking resources of the country, are
in excellent shape. The banks in New
York City aptly illustrates this point.
They had on June 80, last cash and
assets Immediately and fully convert
ible into cash to an amount equivalent
to SIS per cent of their net demand and
time deposits Report of conditions for
the third quarter of the year has not
vet been announced. but it is believed
the percentage has even increased since
the last report.
On the basis of Federal Reserve Bank
gold holdings on october %, an addi-
tional $4,000, 100000 Of reserve note
circulation could be brought into the
market whenever needed. The men,
Der banks themselves could call this
credit into use as on last June 80 they
held eligible paper amounting to more
than $500, 900 900, including about
SIS, $50 600, 900 of Government securities.
Faith in the country's financial struc-
ture is apparent in cases where strong
institutions have voluntarily come to
the assistance Of weaker ones, faced
with abnormal Withdrawals. Formation
of the National Credit Corporation Is
the administrations gesture toward
confidence and Hquidity.
