. King's handbook of Springfield, Massachusetts : a series of monographs, historical and descriptive. was to reduce materially the current rate of discounts in thisvicinity.

They do also a general com-mission business in stocks and other securities for a large patronage, andthe house has the reputation of a conservative counsellor in the manage-ment of investments. The Active Banking Capital of Springfield in 1883 is thus about $5,000,-000; deposits in national banks, $4,000,000; circulation, $2,640,000; depositsin savings banks, $11,600,000, secured by assets good for $12,400,000. Inshort, the banking interest of the city commands over $20,000,000. Theclearings at the clearing-house rank in magnitude with those of cities muchlarger in population, being only exceeded in Massachusetts by those ofBoston and Worcester. WILAIOT LILLIE WARREN, I.
