Time And Demand Deposits Increase
$1,175,427 In Three Local Banks

Time and demand deposits in the
three Farmville banks have in
creased Sl175,427 since a cor
responding time last year. With the
economy Of the entire nation on an
upswing. it is not surprising that
the local economy reflects this
prosperity in terms of increased
deposits.
The gain Of 1858 over 1857 was
Slight. only 1854 .0o7 This makes
the two year increase slightly over

creased S76l ,030 in the past II
months. The call statements at the
three Farmville banks reflect the
condition of the banks on June 10,
while the statements we're called
last year on June %. by the Comp
troller Of the Currency and the State

Observers feel that it is healthy
sign to have the savings accounts
increase. as that reflects more

Government Deposits Drop
United States government de-
posts have generally dropped in
most banks throughout the State,
This was true in the report from
the First National Bank. which
saw a decrease from $li.443 to
S5,275, and in the Peoples Ma
tional Bank, where government de-
posts dropped from 50. 400 to S243,
Planters Bank and Trust Company
was the exception to the rule as
government deposits increased over
1858. from 1886 to s8.867.
Several bankers advanced tn G
theory that federal deposits have
decreased in anticipation At the
government raising debt and in
terest ceilings, and they have put
more money in circulation. Others
suggest that tightening money
market has reduced the federal
funds available for deposit.
