THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1935.
Significance of Increased Deposits
“It Is particularly gratifying to note
the expansion of deposits, since it was
their decline which made necessary the
liquidation of investments, the calling
of loans, and all the other phenomena
which go under the name of 'deflation'
and have brought banks so much criti
cism in recent years. It is now plain
that this was due to efforts of the
banks to place themselves In the pos
session of enough liquid assets to meet
the growing demands of depositors for
the return of a part of the money which
had been placed on deposit.
“That this is true is borne out by the
movement of invested funds of state
banks, which has paralleled that of de
posits. These invested funds (loans and
discounts plus investments) tor state
banks, dropped from $20.291.320.000, at
the end of 19 31, to $14.915,773.000 at the
end of 1933. By December 31, 1934, how
ever, they had recovered to $15,769,510,-
000. All of this gain is accounted for
by the increase in investments during
1934, the expansion amounting to ap
proximately $1,300.000,000.
"As for loans and discounts, they reg
istered a slight drop again In 1934, but
the rate of decline was much smaller
than in previous years, which in itself
is progress. Whereas the drop in loans
and discounts amounted to approxi
mately $3,300.000,000 In 1932, and to ap
proximately $1,300.000,000 in 1933, it
was less than $500,000,000 in 1934.
“In another respect the balance sheet
figures for December 31, 1934. were es
pecially impressive. Bills payable and«
rediscounts of the state banks, which
at the end of 1932 had reached a de
pression high of $669.709,000, had
dropped by the close of last year to the
low figure of $82.101,000. One must
search the records as tar back as 1917
to find bills payable and rediscounts of
state banks at a lower figure. More
over, It is reasonable to expect a further
reduction of such borrowings during
the current year."

NEW YORK.—The American Bank

has developed a plan of bank inspec

The inspection covers eighty leading
