First National Sees Deposits, Earnings Rise Since January Upward trends in 1958 in bank earnings, deposits and consumer and mortgage loans at First Na tional bank of Portland were re- nnrted Tuesday bv C B Stephen son, president, as the bank paid an Increased dividend to share holders for the first time since April 1, 1954. "Each week since January, 1!)58. deposits have increased over the comparative week in 1957." Stephenson reported. 'The public's response to the banK s aseressive policies in the field of consumer and home mortgage loans have brought greatly in creased activity in these import ant fields." he added. These factors, which have re sulted in a satisfactory outlook for First Nationals operating profits for 1958, were an import ant consideration in announcing the increased dividend, Stephen son said. The bank will pay a dividend of $110 per share for the first half of 1958 to its 3414 share holdersmore than 80 percent of whom are Oregon residents. Fiftv-fivp rents will be paid on April 1 and 55 cents will be paid again on July 1- 'The decision to pay the ad ditional 10 per cent dividend is a significant expression of con fidence in our state's economy, coming at a time when the stim ulus is most needed," the bank president declared. Strong faith in the long-range economy of the state were listed as another principal point con sidered by the bank directors in making their decision. "Among the indices which we recognize as harbingers oi an imnrovpd wonomv is the in crease in building starts already evidenced in Multnomah county and expected in the near future natlonallv which will, of course, have a decided effect on the lumber market an be an aid to the general economy of Oregon," the banker said. One of the long-range factors considered by the bank directors in their consideration ot uregon s future outlook was the US census bureau's projected 43 percent in crease in uregon s popular.. during the next 12 years, Mepn enson reported. Stephenson expects Oregon s economy, which has declined for the past two years, to ievei uu and recover as residential and commercial building begins its nd the country. Oregon's economic slump, while severe in many respects ana db ,rtr,r,ir,c7 narlipr than in other parts of the nation, should, by the same token recover more rapidly than other areas, he said. Hp believes that as building activity throughout the country expands, the demand ior uregon products, particularly lumber, may well exceed the past.
