ADVANCING WASHING
TON’S INTERESTS
WCOMPANY
JYS SAVINGS
BANK
/I- ■
i Guaranty Savings Bank Is
> Bought by Continental
Trust Company.
r By HARRY GUSACK.
Purchase of the Guaranty Savings
Bank, 1121 Fourteenth street, by the
Continental Trust Company was an
nounced last night. The trust com
pany, it was stated, purchased the
assets of the savings bank, has taken
over its liabilities, and assumes its
deposit liabilities.
By agreement between the officers
and directors of the two institutions,
the deposits of the Guaranty Savings
Bank have - been transferred to the
books of the Continental Trust Com
pany, and beginning today, the busi
ness of the savings bank will be con
ducted at the trust company. Four
teenth and H streets northwest. The
savings bank will not be used, be
cause both buildings are in the same
neighborhood.
The Guaranty Savings Bank was
opened in April, 1922, and its assets
amounted to about $300,000. The
; Continental Trust Company has a
surplus of $140,000 and a capital of
$1,000,000.
Bank Clearings Gain.
For the first time annual clear
ings of Washington banks will ex
ceed the $1,000,000,000 mark. The
total for the year up to and in
cluding Saturday was $1,098,787,871,
and, with $3,500,000 estimated for
the closing business day of the
year, the final figure will approxi
mate $1,102,200,000. This is far in
excess of the clearings for any prev
ious year. The rapid strides made
by local business in the last few
years are indicated by the following
figures, showing clearing house re
ceipts in the District since 1918.
1922, $980,491,620; 1921, $76,405,-
f 0«; 1920, $897,109,844; 1919, $814,-
462,041; 1918, $714,890,179.
Banks Have Good Year.
The closing year was marked by
several important financial trans
actions which further attest the
growing importance of Washington
as a banking and investment center.
Outstanding among these was the
Increase of the capital of Riggs
National Bank from $1,000,000 to
$2,500,000; the completion of altera
tions to its main office at a cost of
approximately $500,000, and the
opening of its new Park road and
Dupont circle bank buildings.
In the last year, also, the Ameri
can Security and Trust Company
opened a new branch at 1140 Fif
teenth street northwest, while the
Second National and the Franklin
National each acquired an outside
office. Two other branches, one of
* the District National and the other
of the Lincoln National are in the
process of being equipped.
The year stands out as a "branch
banking” year as distinguished
from a new Lank organizing year,
which was characteristic of 1921
and 1920. With the exception of
the. Prudential Savings, no new
banks were formed in 1923. There
has been a disposition in recent
months for larger banks to absorb
smaller ones, while the smaller ones
have manifested a willingness to
be absorbed. This tendency in
banking activity locally is looked
upon as distinctly in favor of the
general stability of the banking
business.

FOR NEW YEAR
FORECAST
Financial Editors of U. S. Are
Optimistic As They View
Trade Conditions.
Sound, prosperous conditions, no
: boom or inflation, but Increasing ox
-1 pansicn in trade and industry, are
. among the features expesto! during
- 1924 by merchants, manufacturers
and heads of financial institutions.
This was made clear in an au
’ thoritative survey of the state of
opinion concerning the outlook for
; next year wired today to The Wash
ington Times by U.e financial editors
of lending afternoon newspapers of
the country.
New York reports sentiment is
soEuified for facing the New Year
without fear of depresauai, though
business men are stih inclined to be
cautious.
The Pacific coa.,t expects prosper
ous months to come, for at Holly
wood, near Los Angeles, plans are
being made to spend $100,090,000 in
1924 for promoting the moving pic
ture industry. San Francisco re
ports the oil, lumbtr and agricultural
conditions faqt geti i<g-on their feet.
Bolton reports New England

optimistic as surrounding prosperity
will be reflected there.
By Merryle Stanley Rukeyser,
financial editor New York Evening
Journal: New Yorkers face the
New Year unafraid, foreseeing no
depression. Expectations of a rea

on the belief that America is to
a large extent self-contained. The
standard of living at home is on
a higher -plane, making the domes
tic market enormous. Prospects for
export trade to non-European coun
tries seem bettet and experts to Eu

bottom. Banking conditions here
are sound and the supply of credit
is abundant. Business men are
still inclined to proceed cautiously.
By Frank H. Meloon, financial
editor Boston American: Manufac
turers in New England are very
nearly unanimous in forecasting a
good year ahead. None of them
looks for a great business boom,
however, and the feeling is that we
will do well if we run around the
figures of prosperity for the last
half of the current year. President
Howard Coonley, of Woolworth Man
ufacturing, head of the Boston
chamber of Commerce, thinks the
new year will repeat 1923 with
greatest activity in the spring.
By Stephen P. Toadvine, finan
cial editor, Syracuse Telegram: Bus
iness in Syracuse and Central New
York, as a whole has enjoyed its
best year since 1919, while many

believe that this prosperity will ex
tend into the New Year,” Hurlbut
W. Smith, treasurer of the L. S.
Smith Typewriter Company, de
clared today.
Merchants, builders, manufactur
ers and bankers expect a continu
ance of the good times which have
marked 1923 as a. banner year.
Many go so far as to predict still
better business, while the more con
servative except a continuance of
the trade which has set many rec
ords during the past year.
By W. W. Norton, financial edi

I By E. L? Roney, financial editor,
- Minneapolis Evening Tribune: While
r trade prospects for 1924 are fairly
1 promising, no one is counting on
1 pronounced revival in general.
, Farm conditions appear to be Im
i proving slowly and the extent of
b this improvement will govern busi
t ness activity. Industries centered
t here and prepared for expansion.
- during the year if present business
1 prospects prove well founded. The
j federal reserve bank review, out
1 this week, forecasts a healthy win
ter trade in this territory.
By Earl R. Obem, financial editor
- Los Angeles Evening Herald. Los
r Angeles has probably the best busi-.
s ness outlook for 1924 of any city tn
r the country.
1 The motion picture industry an
-1 nounces that they will spend
- $100,000,000 in their enterprises for
t 1924. Value of manufactured ar
. tides for Los Angeles for 1923 will
!- be about $1,200,000,000, and 1924
will probably total $1,500,000,000. The
* oil situation is rapidly stabilizing it-
* self and with higher prices on crude
’ oil ih sight, everything points to
* a better year for this industry. The
1 building is again reaching high fig
■ ures after a temporary dedine dur
' ing one month, indications are that
’ 1924 will run far above 1923.
By Thomas M. Dargie, financial
‘ city editor San Francisco Call and,
’ Post: California banking and indus
’ trial leaders are unanimous in
voicing optimism over the 1924 out
look. The “handwriting on the
' wall” spells prosperity.. - The pe
: troleum, lumber and agricultural
industries in the Pacific coast are
fast getting on their feet. Bank
clearings dally reflect large gains.
Another year of enormous building
development is in sight. Everything
' pertains to prosperity in 1924.

Shipping and Railroad Stock*

,NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Firstmesi
prevailed in the first two hears
trading on the stock exchange toda&
The market presented a curious mix
ture of price movement. w
A heavy volume of “cash” salet
representing belated establishmeni
of losses against 1923 taxes placed a
check on any forwatd tendency lx
the issues concerned, while stocks in
r which this form of liquidation ap
peared to have been completed, es
peeially the fertilizers, the shippingi
and the northwestern rails, respond
ed easily to new buying. Reporcbas
ing of holdings previously sold foi
taxation purposes was also a factoi
making for swift rebounds.
Business news over the week encl
was constructive with further ad
vances in crude oil, prices attract
ing most attention. As a result, oil
shares came again briskly to the
fore. Producers and Refiners taking
the lead with a rise of 3% pointi
to 41%, seconded closely by Phillips
Petroleum, which went above 36 for
a gain of nearly 2 points.
The brighter outlook for ths
chemical industry converged specu
lative attention on the shares ot
these companies, Virginia-Carolina
preferred being particularly promi
nent. Little or any tax selling was
seen in the steels, the equipments
and the motors, but with the excep
tion of Willys-Overland preferred,
initiative in these groups was lack
ing, and transactions represented
principally final adjustments of ac
counts in preparation for the holi
day. Sugars were somewhat de
pressed, but coppers showed up
well, notably American Smelting
and Refining, due to a further ad
: vance in the quotation of lead.
r The rally in the railroad list was
not at all confined to issues which
had emerged from the pressure of
tax liquidation. A fresh demand
’ sprang up for some of the low
! priced carriers shares for which the
coming year holds dividend pros
pects in store, such as Southern
Railway and St. Louis and San
1 Francisco preferred.
Call money renewed at 6 per cent.
