REPORT OF DEPOSITS
IN STATE BANKS
(Br The Associated Press)
COLUMBUS, O., March 2 Total de
posits of the 755 state banks under
state supervision amounted to f 1,170,-
000,000, at the close of the year 1921,
a summary prepared by H. B. Scott,
superintendent of banks of Ohio,
shows.
VS$ii this total is smaller than that
of the preceding year, the shrinkage
is not larger than was expected by
the banking department, in view of
the diminished industrial and com
mercial activities, of the country, Mr.
Scott said.
Tho decrease in deposits was ma
terially lesa in the last half of tho
year than in the first half. From Jan
uary to Juno there was a reduction
of $SO,000,000, in deposits, while for
July to Diecomber, it was but $19,000,
000. Savings deposits reached the high
est level In the history of the banking
department last February, when they
registered $584,000,000. On December
21, 1921, savings deposits totaled $552,-
000,000. This is considered a favor
able showing by the banking depart
ment. The larce amount of credit extend
ed agricultural Interests during tho
last year by banks Is reflected in the
real estate loans granted by these In
stitutions, which show an increase of
$21,000,000, most of the loans being
for the benefit of the farmers. Real
ostate loans totaled $296,526,579.
Banks perceptibly increased their
holdings in government bonds and se
curities slnco the beginning of the
year, having had a total of $55,000,
000, of such holdings on Dec. 31, 1921,
an increase of $2,000,000, since tho
preceding year.
These Institutions also materially
Increased their reserves during the
year. The cash they had on hand and
in reserve banks on Dec. 31, 1921, to
taled $l4i,000,(JOO, an Increase of $3,
00Q.000 during the year." Considering
conditions, the record made by banks
in the maintaining of reserves de-
serviea much commendation," declar
ed Mr.. Scott.
Capital 1 Block, surplus, and profits
show a nek increase of $4,634,736, dur
ing the year. Banking house, furni
ture and fixtures, and other real es
tate shows an Increase of $7,510,000.
Eighty-six banks now hold member
ship in the federal reserve system.
They have total resouroes of $780,000,-000.

Indicating that Secretary Mellon still
remained firm in his opposition to en
actment of any bonus legislation at

.drain the treasury.
High treasury officials declared that
from the treasury viewpoint, the ad
justed service certificates would make
the financing a bonus much less diffi

with less disfavor the prospect of pro
