THE SOUTH SHOWED GAIN
IN WEALTH DURING NOVEMBER
AND DECEMBER. 1910.
Balance of Country. Principally in
New York, Showed Loss in Bank
Depoaita of $191,566,408,
Washington Deposits of >ndivld
ual- m the "200 National banks of the
United States decreased $ I li 1 < ti,
4ss between November I and January
1, a sum probably unprecendenfed in
the reports made to the comptroller
of the currency.
Of lhai sum more loan $I5H,000,000
was withdrawn from the thirty nine
National banks of New York city No
two officials of the treasury agree as
to where the money went. Some are
of the opinion th.it part of it might
have gone to strengthen the New-
York State banks and trust romps
ni( s during the flurry caused by the
so called Robin failure early in the
mouth.
A comparison with I he National
hanks of Chicago shows thai the drop
was confined almost entirely to New-
York city. The eleven Chicago banks
reported a loss of about $!i,no0,000 on
individual deposits. The reserve
Naults of the Western and Pacific
States and the New England Stales
il show lossee, but comparatively
small ones.
The unexpected call of January 7
served to show the conditions of the
□auks and in a new angle. One pecu-
liar aspect of the drop was that the
Sew York State banks alone lost as
much as the combined banks of the
country had gained in November.
Another feature of the situation
which greatly puz/.les the treasury ex
perts is that in spite of the enormous
slump In deposits the banks are s II
holding a higher percentage of re ;
serve than they were in November
snd the lotal loss in loans and dis-
rounts of the whole country had been
inly $ Is,ooo,000, while there has been
s gain in cash of more than $20,000,-
>00. The last call in November show-
Mi a loss in loans and uucounts ami
i loss in cash of $115,000,000.
TJie 'jiuUu* of ihe South are about
he only ones showing gains ot de-
posits. That is said uo be because
:hev are now being paid for cotton.
Reductions of loans is the rule, how
f\er. all over the country, and this is
said necessarily follows such a sharp
•eduction of deposits.
Still, with all the reductions, the
Danks are now holding $Kii,000,000
note in their reserves than is requir-
I'd by law. On the whole the showing
s pronounced good, but the disup-
learanc e of $ I .'.s.OOO.bOO from the
auks of New York is a groat puzzle

Overton B;ink Dynamited.
Overton, Tex The Farmers and
Merchants' State Hank at Overton
was blown open at an early hour on
Tuesday morning nnd $4,200 in cur
rency and silver was stolen A hole

where enframe was made and the
«nfe was a lotal wreck. All paners arc

-ix men, for whose arrest a reward
if $100 each is offered. There is no
clew.
Governor Used Prerogative.
Austin, Tex. When word reached
Austin that the six troops of the
Third United Stales Cavalry from
Fort Sam Houston bound for the Rio

held up at Sanderson on account of
