SISTERSVILLE BANK FIGURES The statements of three Na tional and the one State bank of this city called June 9 of this anc on the same date last year show some interesting totals. As whole the total resources of the four banks show from June 9, 1903, to June 9, 1904, an increase of $275,427.92, or considerable over a quarter of a million dollars in twelve months' time. The total resources of the four banks on June 9, 1903, was as follows: First National $ 865,627.38 Tyler County 641.993.57 Farmers' & Prod's... 533,186.73 People's National... 497,955.58 j Total' : $2,538,743.26 i The total resources June 9, 1904, were: First National $ 881,074.49 Tyler County 713,798.201 Farmers' & Prod's... 563,749.88 People's National... 655,548.61 Totals $2,814,171.18 The increase in one year, $275, 427.72. Increase by banks: First National?Total in 1903' was $865,627.38; in 1904, it is $881,074.49; increase, $15,447.11. Tyler County?Total in 1903 was $641,993.57, and in 1904 it is $713,798.57; a gain of $71, 904.57. People's National?Total in 1903 was $497,935.58, and in 1904 it is $655,548.61; a total increase of $157,613.03. Farmers^?& Producers' Nation al?In 1903 had total resources amountin to $533,186.73, and in 1904 it had $563,749.88; a total gain in one year of $30,653.15. These figures are interesting from another standpoint. It will | be'recalled when the People's Na tional bank was started in Janu ary, 1903, it was predicted among other things that the Farmers' & Producers' bank would go up the flume, the Tyler County bank would lose heavily, an/1 there would soon be only two banks here?the People's and the First National. The comparisons above made from the printed reports of these four banks shows in the year the People's have made by far the largest gains, the total gain being $157,613.03, the Tyler County | bank comes in second with a gain of $71,804.63, the Farmers' & Pro ducers' third with a gain of $30, 563.15 and the First National last with a gain of $15,447.11. These figures show beyond ques tion all the banks are solid, gain ing steadily, and that a fourth bank has not shut up any other bank, but, on the contrary, all of the banks have made substantial increases. That is exactly what The Review predicted. There has been more hustling for business, the competition has been keen and active, but for the most part in good humor, and the final re sult of a year's work shows each bank made gains in its total re sources. The individual deposits for 1904 in the four banks aggregate the sum of $709,793.83. On June 9, 1903, the total deposits were $645,110.62. The increase over last year was $64,683.21. The Tyler County bank increas ed, including its saving account from $204,828.86, in 1903, to $267, 954.40 in 1904. The People's increased from $171,542.68 in 1903 to $200,341.83 in 1904. The Farmers' & Producers' de creased from 1903, when it hac $106,479.18, to $97,313.14 in 1904 The First National decreasec,' from $162,259.90 in 19t)3, to $144, 184.46 in 1904. The time certificates, which mean's the amount of money de posited for six months or one year, and for which all the banks pay 4interest, in 1903 agregated the sum of $724,320.72, and in 1904 it had increased to $929,711.46?? an increase of over $200,000. The total increase for the year of the amounts of the deposits and mon ey loaned to the banks shows an increase of nearly half a million dollars. Taking the round numbers only the Tyler increased from $273,000 to $302,000. The First National from $223,000 to $254,000. The People's increased from $119,000 in 1903 to $228,000 in 1904, and the Farmers' & Producers increas ed from $107,000 to $143,000. We challenge any city on earth the size of Sistersville to show better bank totals.

Yesterday morning the steamer Barnsdall, running in the Mari etta-Sistersville trade, was sunk in the Ohio, opposite Waverly, through having been snagged. The low stage saved her from being completely emerged, but she sank only to the first deck. The boat was insured, and when an adjustment of loss has been made she will be taken to the Parkersburg docks for repairs. In the meantime the steamer French, which was forced to abandon the Creston trade, has been chartered in her trade. Subscribe far The Oil Review. Music?Geo. F. Bell, chairman; Wm.
