ALL A MISTAKE.
Mr. Roj-ce Finds That Banks Show
Increased Deposits After All.
PUT EAGLE OH GUARD.
Says T.andis, to IVeVcnt Vultures From
I'iueking Bodies of the Dead.
Washington. Io, 19. Mr. Landis In
discussing the insurance question in
the house said there were in this
country 0.r00,000 policyholders: 20,
policies and at least 40.000.000
people interested in insurance. The
amount of insurance now in force, he
said, was 12 billions of dollars.
"Subject these corporations to na
tional supervision," he said, "and the
eas?ie will keep the vulture from pluck
ing the bodies of the dead."

It turns out that there was a clerical
error in making up the figures on the
bank deposit reports published Monday,
and that instead of showing a decrease
of $400,000 from the last previous state
ment, the fact is that the denosits in
the state have increased $l,214.630.2t
making the total deposits on November
29. $119,362,058.12.
This is the largest showins- of bank
deposits in the history of the state, and
is all the more wonderful because it
comes at a time of the year when the
deposits usually show a falling off.
Loans show an increase of .$3,000,000
over those of three months ago. This
indicates more activitv in business and
more profits for the bankers.
There is also an increase of nine in
the number of banks since the August
call. The number, state and national,
now is 616 as against 607 in August.
The $119,782,058.12 is divided: State
angs. 57,940918.14; national banks,
$61,431,139.98.
A thing most gratifying to the Kan
sas banking department is the fact that
of the $1,214,639.24 increase in deposits,
$1,103,912.11 of it was in state banks. De
posits in national banks only increased
$111,718.13. or abount one-tenth what the
state banks did. The commissioner says
this shows a growing prestige in favor
of state banks. He predicts that within
two years the deposits of state banks
will exceed those of national in the
state.
Here is a detailed, consolidated state
ment, showing the condition of the 616
state and private bank and 175 national
banks at the close of business on No

Chicago, Dec 19. WHEAT Unsettled
weather throughout the United States
held the local wheat market today, iot
withstanding a sharp decline at Liver
pool. A report from Minneapolis declared
that the poor condition of country roads
was to a large extent responsible for the
small movement. The weakness at Liv
erpool was said to be due to reports that
the drouth in India had been broken.
There was fair demand from commission
houses, but offerings were small. May
opened HQVic lower to a shade higher at
