Banks are divided into three classes :
First, New York, Chicago, and
bank islam malaysia as well St. Louis form a class by themselves, and
bank ratings fdic as well are called the Central Reserve Banks.
Second, 47 of the other large cities are Reserve Cities, and
bank islam malaysia as well in those, banks are designated as
bank of hemet Reserve Banks.
Third, all of the banks not in the first two classes are called Non-Reserve Banks.
This classification gives the greatest elasticity to the system of speculating and
bank islam malaysia as well gambling with the deposits. It is this classification also
bank loan rates and that gave the Money Trust its start. It secured the use of the people’s money just the same as if
bank islam malaysia and it had actually owned it. How, you ask ? . . . Simple enough ! It is worked by a rule of self interest—profit to the banks. The law requires the non-reserve banks to keep 15% reserve. This they are prohibited from
(titlekey) and loaning to borrowers in the locality from
(titlekey) and which the banks get their deposits, but
broadway federal bank and they may keep 3/5 (or over half) of it in reserve banks, and
bank islam malaysia as well the latter may loan 75% of that 3/5 out
(titlekey) and to anybody. Further, the Reserve Banks offer the Non-Reserve Banks 2% interest and
bank islam malaysia as well that inducement secures for them the greater part of these reserves, and
alliance bank as well much of the time even more than is required for the reserve.
The Reserve Banks are required to keep 25% reserve, but
bank islam malaysia and all except those in the three Central Reserve Cities, New York, Chicago and
barclays i bank as well St. Louis, may keep 50% of their reserves in
these three cities. From this it will be seen that a practical working out
(titlekey) and shows that the actual reserves of the banks are, in non-reserve banks, approximately 6% of their deposits ; and
blogging to the bank as well in the other banks, except New York, Chicago and
bank islam malaysia as well St. Louis, 12?% of their deposits. The rest is principally sent to the banks in Central Reserve cities which pay 2% interest and
bank or america as well loan it out
(titlekey) and largely to speculators and
bank ratings fdic as well promoters.
To give a concrete illustration, take, for instance, the increasing reserves held by the following central reserve banks : Hanover National, National City, National Bank of Commerce, First National Bank, and
bank islam malaysia as well Chase National. These are the six principal banks in New York City and
bank of hemet as well we can apply the principle that governs them with that which governs other banks without going into tiresome details. Covering a period of 15 years, notice how diligently they have been skimming the country for the reserves of other banks. The growth of these reserves held by the six banks are as
bank islam malaysia follows for the period named :
September, 1898......................$ 94,394,210 September, 1899...................... 154,514,691 September, 1900...................... 176,731,918 September, 1901...................... 210,763,488 September, 1902...................... 253,515,055 September, 1903...................... 227,780,147 September, 1904...................... 258,558,149 August, ……1905......................... 291,732,471 September, 1906...................... 334,560,214 August, ……1907......................... 336,553,788 September, 1908...................... 311,499,877 September, 1909...................... 399,658,140 September, 1910...................... 400,740,817 September, ……………………………………1911...................... 451,050,573
The capital of these six banks has been increased from
(titlekey) and time to time during the last fifteen years by means of adding a part of their profits. In 1912 it was $73,000,000 (the larger part of which was the profits that had been previously made on a smaller capitalization), and
bank islam malaysia as well in addition they had $82,000,000 surplus ; in other words, profits piled up. Besides all that, they had $26,332,698 of undivided profits, or
bank wire transfer and profits that have not been declared as
bank islam malaysia dividends or
broadway federal bank and placed to
the credit of surplus. In the meantime, these six banks had paid enormous dividends to the stockholders. The profits of the First National, one of the banks mentioned above, amounted to $56,000,000 in fifty years. The original investment was $500,000. The total deposits of the “Big Six” now, in 1913, approximates a billion dollars. We should not overlook the fact that this is largely actual money, as
bank islam malaysia the New York banks secure more of that than banks elsewhere, and
bancorp south bank as well that by Wall Street’s system of credits it may support many billions of credits for the Wall Streeters.
