NET PROFITS OF NATIONAL BANKS, 1890-1931

The average rate of net p r o f i t s * 1 ' on invested c a p i t a l for national
banks during the ten years, 1921-1930, was 7.3 per cent, compared with an
average y i e l d of s l i g h t l y l e s s than 5 per cent on the sixty "bonds used in
the Standard S t a t i s t i c s Company1 s compilations.

For the f i s c a l year end-

ing June 30, 1931, however, the r a t e of net p r o f i t s of national banks
dropped to l.U per cent.

For the f i s c a l year 1932 national banks as a whole

reported a net d e f i c i t of $l4o,071,000.
Trend of Net P r o f i t s
The r a t e of net p r o f i t s of national banks has fluctuated much more
widely than bond y i e l d s and frequently the movements have been in opposite
directions.

From 1905 to 1915, for example, the trend of net p r o f i t s was

downward, while bond y i e l d s were r i s i n g .

From about 1921 to 1928 the trend

was upward for net p r o f i t s of banks and downward for bond y i e l d s .
1921-1930 ^ie

rate

During

p r o f i t s of national banks was lower than in the

twenty years 1901-1920, while bond y i e l d s were higher.

The r a t e of net

p r o f i t s of national banks a t 7«3 P e r cent during the decade ending with 1930
compares with an average of S.3 per cent during the years 1901-1910.

Although

there was a declining tendency in the net p r o f i t s of national banks after the
early part of t h i s century, the rapid r i s e during the war years offset the
( l ) Net p r o f i t s represent gross earnings from the y e a r ' s operations l e s s

the amount i s referred to as a net d e f i c i t . Expenses are d i s t r i b u t e d
amon
S s a l a r i e s and wages, i n t e r e s t on deposits, and other expenses. Net
losses represent gross loeses l e s s r e c o v e r i e s . Gross losses include
charge-offs on loans and investments, and depreciation on banking house,

pronounced decline from 1907 to 191*+ and the average net profits for the
second decade were equal to those of the first.

The trend of "bond yields,

however, was upward until iy20 and while they have declined from the high
level of the inflation years they averaged slightly higher in the years
1927-1931 than during the years 1909-1913.
This difference between the trends of net profits of national
hanks and bond yields is illustrated in Chart 1 which gives the annual rate
of net profits on invested capital of all national banks from 189° to 1931*
and bond yields from 1900 to 1931*

banks are given in Table 1 of the text and for bond yields in Table 23•

The period 1900 to 1920 was characterized by an almost continuous rise in commodity prices and land values. This formed a favorable "background for net profits of "banks during the early years of
that period, hut, concurrent with a rapid increase in the number of
hanks and a consequent growth of competitive factors, a decrease in
net profits of hanks "began to "be apparent prior to the World War,
Baring the period of rising prices there was a growing tendency by
hanks to grant capital loans, the practice being apparently justified
by experience which showed that these loans usually proved to be well
protected by gradual capital appreciation even though not always collectible out of current income of the borrower. Losses were small and
the number of banking institutions continued to expand rapidly.
Between 1920 and 193'lf however, bankers faced a situation
different in many respects from that existing in the two previous decades.

Taking the period, 1920-1931* as a whole, the averages of whole-

sale commodity prices greatly declined and agricultural land values decreased almost continuously.

The tendency, therefore, was for the mar-

gin of security in capited commitments to diminish rather than to increase as had been the case during the period of rising prices. Most
of the bankers in the country had been trained under the favorable conditions of rising prices and many were unable to cope successfuly with
the new conditions.







~ 5-

The large increase in the number of banks in the two
decades prior to 1920 brought with it a severe competition among
banks, and at the same time non-hanking competition was growing
stronger from a variety of sources.

This competition worked

in the direction of a narrower margin of net profits on a -unit
of hanking business.
Changes in the net profits of all national banks taken
together, however, do not indicate the relative results obtained
by different classes of banks since the good record of some institutions is averaged with the poor record of others.

The

tendency towards a declining rate of net profits generally has
affected certain types of institutions more vitally than others.
In actual practice under our banking system the poor net profits
or net deficits of one institution cannot, of course, be offset
by the higher net profits of another.

The problem therefore

lies in the net profits, or lack of net profits, of the individual bank.

Data for Analysis of National Bank Earnings, 1926-1930
Composite figures for net p r o f i t s of national banks, such as
those used in the preceding paragraphs, have appeared in the annual r e ports of the Comptroller of the Currency for many decades.

They are

compiled from the semi-annual reports of earnings, expenses, and d i v i dends rendered currently "by individual n a t i o n a l banks.

In these com-

p i l a t i o n s , the comptroller has presented earnings and expense figures
for large groups of banks according to geographic location only, unprofitable banks being averaged with p r o f i t a b l e ones; large banks with small
ones; metropolitan banks in some cases with v i l l a g e banks*
In order to i s o l a t e the typically p r o f i t a b l e or unprofitable
banks, with a view to determining t h e i r s i z e , location, and operating
c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s , i t has been necessary for the Committee to make a bank
by bank analysis of earnings over a period of y e a r s .

This has proved

to be a heavy undertaking and has been of necessity limited in scope.
In the f i r s t place, the number of years to be included was limited to
five, 1926-1930.
In the second place, national banks were taken as representative
of commercial banks in g e n e r a l .




This grew p a r t l y out of n e c e s s i t y because

~7 ~

earnings and expense figures for the main "body of State "banks were not
available. The Federal Reserve Board collects such data from the limited
number of State banks which belong to the system, but member State banks,
being larger on the average, are not typical of State banks as a whole, and
these were omitted from the analysis.

On the other hand, the banking

authorities of Iowa in cooperation with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago
have set up an analogous body of data for all Iowa State banks so that these
can be used as a check upon the assumption that the major conclusions to be
drawn from the study of national banks in all probability are valid for
State banks as well.
A schedule was designed for the analysis of the earnings and expenses of each bankf which provided first for the tabulation of ten earnings and expense items and four balance sheet items. These data were compiled for each of the five years from the forms upon which reports were made
to the Comptroller of the Currency.

The schedule also provided blanks for

the computation of twenty-six operating ratios for each bank.
this schedule is included at the end of the appendix*

A copy of

There is also in-

cluded at the end of the appendix a copy of the form on which banks report
earnings and expenses, and a copy of the form on which balance sheet items
are reported.

These are inserted for the convenience of those wishing to

determine the exact meaning of the income and balance sheet items which are
used in this study.
In the case of national banks some 37*000 separate analyses were
made, one for each of the five years for each national bank; about 5*000
additional analyses were required with respect to the 1,000 add Iowa State
banks.




The individual bank analyses were made by the Federal reserve banks

~ g ~

for the national "banks in their respective districts, and in addition the
Chicago Federal Reserve Bank made the analyses for Iowa State banks-

After

the analysis sheets had "been completed in the Federal reserve "banks, groupings of the data were transmitted in tabulations designed by the staff of
the Committee which analyzed and organized the material in its present form*




CHAPTER II

SEE PROFITS BY SIZE OF BASK. 1926-1930

During the five years I926-I93O the average annual number of national banks which rendered earnings reports was 7>^03«

Of these U,000, or

somewhat more than half, on the average annually earned 6 per cent or more
on their invested capital; 1,39&» or nearly one-fifth, earned less than 6
per cent hut as much as 3 P e r cent; 856, or about one-ninth, earned less
than 3 per cent; and 1,171, or about one-sixth, earned no net profits or
had annual net deficits.
Banks, which reported net profits of 6 per cent and over on invested capital year after year during this 5~year period, and which held
well over half of the loans and investments of all national "banks, included
banks of all sizes, from the smallest to the largest, and banks in all sections of the country, as shown in detail in accompanying tables and charts.
These more profitable banks, by reason of their good earnings and their consequent ability to build up reserve funds, were in better position to prepare themselves to meet unforeseen losses and protect themselves in periods
of stress. Banks which reported lower net profits or had net deficits,
like those in the more profitable group, were of all sizes, from the smallest to the largest.

These percentages change

somewhat for banks showing net deficits or net profits of less than 3 Per
cent or less than 6 per cent, "but they reveal essentially the same fact,
that a large proportion of the banks that had unsatisfactory rates of net
profits during the period were institutions with limited resources. Table
2 gives for various size groups the average number of national banks submitting annual earnings reports during 1926-1930, and the average number
reporting specified rates of net profits on invested capital.

-livable 3 shows for each of the 10 designated size groups the number
of banks per hundred that reported, over the period I926-I930, net deficits
or less than 6 per cent net profits annually on invested capital.

It brings

out the fact that anong banks in the sniallest size group 3 ia h failed to
realize as ouch as 6 per cent, while anong "banks in the next largest size
group the proportion was about 3 banks in 5i in the next about 1 bank in 2,
and anong the others fron about U in 10 to about 2 in 10. Groups of banks
of less than $500,000 loans and investnents were below the average experience
of all national banks.

(l) In arriving at the percentages of banks in size groups showing
annual net deficits or net profits of less than 6$, for example,
over the five years 1926-1930, the banks in a particular size
group for each of the five years were added together; those in
the group reporting net deficits or net profits of less than 6$
in each of the years were likewise added together, and then expressed as a percentage of the total number of banks in the size
group. For this reason if the figures in Table 2 are reduced to
percentage relationships, there will be small but unimportant
variations from the percentages appearing in Tables 3 and U.
Charts 2 and 2A show for each of the size groups the proportionate
number of banks that reported over the period annual net losses or net profits
of less than 6 per cent and those reporting annual net profits of 6 per cent
and over.

Chart 3 compares for each of the 10 designated size groups the proportionate number of banks that reported during the five year period net deficits or less than 3 P^r

cent net

profits annually on invested capital. This

chart brings out the fact that when the banks reporting for the period net
profits of less than 3 T?eT

cent are

classified with those reporting net defi-

cits or no net profits there are three of the size groups that failed to show
average results, these three being again those comprising the banks that had
less than $500,000 of loans and investments. Among these three groups, furthermore, it was that comprising the smallest banks, those with less than
$150,000 of loans and investments, that made the worst comparative showing.
In this size group more than half of the banks reported either less than 3
per cent net profits on invested capital, no net profits, or net deficits. In
the next largest size group, that

comprising banks with loans and investments

of $150,000 to $250,000, the corresponding proportion was more than 2 banks in
5, and in the next largest it was about 1 bank in 3«
The proportion of banks in various size groups reporting annual net
deficits or no net profits during the five year period 1926^-1930 is illustrate'
in Chart 3A.

In the smallest size group, that for banks having loans and in-

vestments of less than $150,000, one out of every three banks reported during
this period net deficits or no net profits, and in all three of the size
groups of less than $500,000 of loans and investments the proportionate number
of banks that had net deficits or no net profits was above the average for all
national banks. During this five year period the total number of national
banks in these three size groups represented about 37 per cent of all national
banks in the country and about 3*5 P e r

cent

°^ *ke "total loans and investments

of all national banks in 1930*
Table h gives the complete percentage distribution of national banks
in size groups according to rates of net profits on invested capital, representing the average of the years I926-I93O.

Geographic Differences, - This record of net profits daring
1926-1930 for national banks over the country as a whole indicates that
a large proportion of smaller banks reported annual net deficits or a snail
rate of net profits on invested capital. A survey of various geographical
groupings indicates that the rates of net profits varied somewhat from one
section of tbe„ country to another and from one year to another*
Charts k and 5 bring out contrasts in experience between industrialized urban areas and areas which are primarily agricultural and rural#
A group of eleven Northeastern States, along with the District of Columbia,
and a group of eleven Mid-continent States have been selected for comparison
to represent a predominantly industrial area on the one hand, and a pre-

Each group has between a
in the country. Large

"banks, those having more than $5,000,000 of loans and investments, fared
approximately as well in the agricultural as in the industrial districts,
only about 5 out of 100 reporting annual net deficits or no net profits
and about 10 out of 100 reporting annual net deficits or net profits of
less than 3 P e r cent.

Smaller banks, as a rule, however, have fared

much better in the industrial Northeastern States than in the agricultural
Mid-continent States.
In the Mid-continent States, for example, 3 banks out of 10
in the size group $150,000-$250,000 reported annual net deficits or no
net profits, and 5 out of 10 reported net deficits or net profits of less
than 3 Per cent.

In the Northeastern States, on the other hand, 2 out of

10 reported net deficits or no net profits and 3 out of 10 reported net
deficits or net profits of less than 3 per cent.

In the Northeast the

proportions of banks in many of the smaller bank groups showing net deficits or no net profits were less than half as large as in the Mid-continent
States, although the contrast is not quite so sharp with respect to the
portion in smaller bank groups which reported net deficits or net profits
of less than 3 P e r cent.
These facts suggest that in the Northeast, an industrially developed and stabilized community offering a diversity of risks, small

banks have fared better than in the agricultural communities where the
assets of most small banks are tied up in agriculture, often in one crop.
It will be recalled that many agricultural communities have never fully
recovered from the effects of the price deflation which began in 1920
and the continuous decline in land values since that time. On the other
hand, most industrial communities have had several years of prosperous
business during the same period. That the large banks of the Mid-continent
States achieved as good results as banks of like size in the Northeast was
doubtless associated with the fact that these banks, being in the large
centers of population, have a greater diversity of assets than the country
banks.

If the small banks in the Northeast had been subjected to tne

same tests over a period of years as those in the agricultural regions,
there is no assurance that they would have fared any better.
Owing to the limited number of banks in the Mid-continent States
in the size groups above $5»000,000 loans and investments, these groups
have been combined into one in order to have enough banks to render a
percentage distribution significant. Furthex-more, the number of banks
of less than $150,000 loans and investments in the Northeastern States
was so small as to make the ratio at this point of questionable value.
Tables 5 and 6 give the complete percentage distribution in size groups
according to the rates of net profits on invested capital of national banks
in the Northeastern States and the Mid-continent States.

it is not the purpose to "bring out in the text all the minute
variations which may "be found from one geographic locality to another,
or from one year to another. The statistics, "by States and "by years,
are included in the appendix in Table 1 and Table Ila-j for the use of
those interested in the records of particular localities.
She statistical analysis of the years I926-I93O was organized
on a geographic basis under the same classification of States used elsewhere in other studies made by the Committee; namely, New England, Middle Atlantic, North Central, Southern Mountain, Southeastern, Southwestern, Western Grain, Rocky Mountain, and Pacific Coast.*1'
In order to have enough banks in some size groups to make a
percentage distribution of value, it was necessary to effect certain
geographic combinations. The New England and Middle Atlantic groups
were combined to represent the industrial area heretofore presented,
while the Western Grain and Southwestern States were used in combination as representing an agricultural area. In order to show roughly
what conditions have been in the remaining portions of the United
States, three other groups are given in Table 7•

Ehe North Central

States are combined as one group; the Southern Mountain and Southeastern States form a second; and the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast
States, a third.

The table shows the proportion of banks in each size group reporting annual net deficits or net profits of less than 3 P e ^ cent on the
average for the years 1926-I93O.

The average experience for all size groups

was "best in the Northeast where 17 out of 100 banks failed to return as
much as 3 P e r

cent

on invested capital. The mid-continent experience was

lowest with 37 out of 100 banks in the low profits groups.




- 23 -

The Western States made the poorest showing of all the geographic
divisions in three of the size groups, nineteen out of every 100 hanks with
portfolios of $5,000,000 and over reported annual net deficits or net profits
of less than 3 P e r cent. The two groups of smallest banks also showed poorer
earnings in the Western States than anywhere else.

In the Southeastern and

Southern Mountain States the large banks also made a relatively poor showing.
If the size group $150,000~$250,000 is compared with that of
$5*000,000 or more, the situation may be summarized by saying that the proportion of banks with unsatisfactory net profits was more than four times as
great among the smaller banks as among the larger ones in the Mid-continent
States; more than three times a,s great in the North Central States; and between two and three times as great in the Northeast, Southeast, and West.
There are, of course, many profitable small banks in all localities,
some highly profitable ones.

The experience of the five years, however, was

that the probabilities of profitable operation are ranch lower for smaller
banks than for larger ones.

On the other hand, in the group of banks with

loans and investments of less than $150,000, 2b out of 100 annually showed
net profits of 6 per cent or more on invested capital during the period. In
the group with loans and investments of $150,000-$250,000, 3S out of 100 reported net profits of 6 per cent or more. In the group with loans and investments of $250,000-$500,000, U7 out of 100 reported net profits of 6 per cent
or more.
Annual Variations. - Of the five years included in this survey, the
poorest net profits were shown in 1930 a ^d the best in 1928. This is illustrated in Table g.

Forty out of every 100 national banks reported net deficits

or net profits of less than 3 P e r cent in 1930* while in 192S the figure was




- 2k 22 out of every 100. In three of the five major geographical groupings 1930
afforded the worst experience during the five years• The Mid-continent and
the Western States, on the other hand, showed the highest proportion of unsuccessful hanks in 1926, while in "both cases the experience in 193^ w a s to.*
a trifle better.

The Northeastern States, the most highly industrialized area, showed
a much better experience than any other region in every year, except 1930»

In

that year there were more unprofitable hanks in the Northeastern region than
the average for the whole country, reflecting the result of widespread industrial depression. The North Central States also made a poor record in 1930#
The agricultural

difficulties of earlier years were reflected in the large

proportion of unprofitable banks in the Mid-continent and Western States in
1926 and 1927.
Chart 6 shows the variations in the proportion of banics reporting
net deficits or net profits of less than 3 P e r cent by years and by geographic
divisions among banks of less than $500,000 of loans and investments, contrasted with those of more than $5J000,000«

In several of the geographic

divisions the year 1930 was mack out of line with the other four, showing a
much higher proportion of banks with unsatisfactory net profits among both
large and small banks. However, the contrast "between the two sizes of banks
in that year was nearly as pronounced as in other years•

The year 1930 was characterized "by cheap money; 192S, by dear
money.

Net profits of large city "banks are much more sensitive to money

market rates than are those of hanks in small places. The rates charged
on customers1 loans by the latter vary little from year to year, while
the large city banks are forced by competition to adjust their rates to
large customers to meet .prevailing conditions. Large banks from I92S
to 1930i therefore, suffered a much larger shrinkage in their rate of
gross earnings than small banks.
TOiile the net profits of both large and small banks varied
from year to year and from district to district, the chart illustrates
in a striking manner the fact that the latter made a much poorer record
each year in each district than did the former.

Rate of get Profits of Iowa State Banks by Size of Bank
It is quite likely that the net profits of different size
groups among State "banks over the period under discussion have contrasted in a way similar to that among national banks. The analysis
of Iowa State banks as given in Charts 7 a n ^ 8 and Table 9 would indicate this. When the Iowa, State "bank experience is compared with
the national banks in the Mid-continent States just presented in Charts
k and 5, it will be observed that the proportion of smaller State banks
showing unsatisfactory returns was even larger than among national banks.

Sixty-two per cent of the Iowa State banks in the smallest size
group reported net deficits or net profits of less than 3 P e ^ cent. This
corresponds to 51 psr cent of the isid-continent national "banks* In the second
size group the per cent of banks reporting net deficits or net profits of less
than 3 per cent was 53 for the State banks and US for national banks, and in
the third size group it was ^5 for State banks compared with 38 for national
banks. Among State banks of Iowa with loans and investments of $2,000,000 and
over, 23 out of 100 reported net deficits or earned less than 3 P e * cent annually, while among national banks in the Mid-continent States 18 out of 100
of those with loans and investments of $2,000,000-$5,000,000 reported net deficits or net profits of less than 3 per cent.

Obviously, -under a -unit banking system large banks are not represented
in small places, altho"ugh there are small banks in tlie larger places.
Therefore, Charts 9 and

which compare the net profits of national

banks grouped according to the size of the community in which located,
reflect again chiefly the difference between large and small banks as
already brought out.
In the smallest towns two banks out of every ten returned annual net deficits or no net profits on the average for the years 19261930 as shown in Chart 9*

In towns of 10,000 or more inhabitants only

one bank out of ten showed annual net deficits or no net profits. One
bank out of three in the smallest towns reported annual net deficits or
net profits of less than 3 P e ^ cent on invested capital. In towns of
10,000 or more two out of ten banks failed to earn as much as 3 P e r
net.

c

©nt

In general, the experience with respect to net profits of national

banks in towns of 50,000-100,000 was the most favorable, and there is a
noticeable improvement in the rate of net profits from the small town to
the large town until a population of 10,000 is reached* but beyond this
point the experience improves but little.
Charts 11 and 12 present analogous statistics for Iowa State
banks.

The percentage of unprofitable State banks does not decrease

as steadily with the growth in size of town as was the case among national
banks.

State banks located in towns of from 5>000 to 10,000 population

made the best showing. There is a definite cleavage in the degree of
success of banks located in towns of less than 5>000 as compared with
those in towns above 5i000.

BANKING COSTS PER UNIT OP BUSINESS, 1926-1930

The previous chapter has shown that, from the viewpoint of the
rate of net profits on invested capital, the number of banks that were
unprofitable during the five-year period I926-I93O was disproportionatelylarge among the smaller institutions.

In order to determine the factors

which account for the differences in the rate of net profits among the
smaller and the larger banks, the operating accounts of national banks
have ^oeen analyzed by size groups.
sis was designed to bring out are:

The principal facts which the analythe annual rate of gross earnings on

loans and investments, the cost of handling a unit of business, the proportion of assets written off as losses, and the annual margin of net
profits per $100 of loans and investments.
In order to compare the operating efficiency of national banks
of different sizes, it was necessary to compute the various operating
items per unit of business in each size group.
net profits were related to invested capital.

In the preceding chapter
To compare the unit costs

of doing business for banks of different size groups, however, it was
thought better to use instead of invested capital a basis which measures
more nearly the volume of business of the banks.

Loans and investments

were chosen for this purpose.
Items of earnings and expenses were computed as amounts per $100
of loans and investments bank by bank and year by year, and the typical




-35-

- 36-

ratios of groups of "banks were selected to "bring out differences in the
operating experiences among the different size groups. Although the degree
of difference might have varied somewhat if another measure of the volume
of "business had been adopted, it is "believed that the essential contrast
between different groups of "banks would have remained the same.
The items of earnings and expenses, which were calculated annually
for each national "bank as percentages of loans and investments, are indicated on the earnings schedule reproduced at the end of the appendix.' The
method of determining for a group of "banks a particular typical ratio was
as follows: the annual ratio of gross earnings to loans and investments,
for example, for a group of "banks was taken as the average of the individual ratios of gross earnings to loans and investments for the respective
"banks in the group.

The typical ratio for five years was taken as the

averages of the ratios of the respective years weighted "by the numbers of
banks in the particular group in each of the five years.

It was found by

experiment that when groups consisted of a sufficiently large number of
units, this average was much the same as the result obtained from using
other methods of deriving the typical unit of a group.

G-ross Earnings
Chart 13 shows that the smaller banks made larger annual gross
earnings per $100 of loans and investments than the larger banks. Het
profits per $100 of loans and investments, however, were lower for the
smaller banks than for the larger ones.




The figures are given in Table 10.

(l) Detailed data for national banks in the United States,
by years, appear in the appendix, Table IXa-f.

The typical bank in the size group $150,000-$250,000, for example,
reported annually more than $S gross earnings per $100 of loans and investments but retained only fifty cents as net profits.

On the other hand, the

typical hank of $10,000,000~$50,000,000 reported only ahout $6.40 gross
earnings but retained $1,20 as net profits.

In the agricultural regions

where the smaller banks are most numerous, rates of interest are higher than
in the urban industrial and commercial centers*

Furthermore, a larger pro-

portion of the portfolios of these smaller banks tends to be in customer
loans rather than open market investments, which bear a relatively low
rate.

It will be observed that there is a sharp rise in net return from

one group of small banks to the next larger until the size of $500,000 in
loans and investments is reached, after which the increase is less pronounced.




It is also at this point that the decrease in the rate of gross

- 39 -

earnings from one size group to the next "becomes less marked.
Table 11 divides the gross earnings of national "banks in the
various size groups into interest and discount on loans and investments
and other earnings.

It will "be noted that the proportion of gross earn-

ings derived from interest and discount varies from S3 VeT

ceirt t o

^9 P e r

cent.
The very small "banks and the very large "banks seem to derive
more revenue from "other sources" than the medium sized banks.

Large

banks in general tend to derive more revenue than small banks from such
things as trust business, securities business, and foreign exchange operations.

On the other hand, the large bank has less revenue than the small

bank proportionately from collection and domestic exchange charges and fron
miscellaneous services performed by officials and employees of banks.

Operating Expenses and Met Losses
Chart ik shows the expenses and net losses for the various size
groups, and Table 12 gives the figures on which the chart is based. The
larger banks had better net results because their salaries and wages,
other expenses, and net losses were all lower in proportion to their lo^n-i
and investments than in the case of the smaller banks. Typically, the
smallest banks do not carry as heavy a burden in interest on deposits per
$100 of loans and investments as do the larger banks.

Moving, in Chart lU, from one small bank group to the next larger,
the load of interest on deposits increases until a size of $5*000,000 of

With respect to salaries and wages and

other expenses the movement is in the opposite direction.

The load of

investments is reached, after which there is much less contrast between
groups. This is also true of other expenses* As in many manufacturing
activities, so also in banking, unit costs appear, up to a certain point,
to decrease with large scale activity. Banks with $1,000,000 loans and
investments and over appear to have had most of the operating advantages
possessed by the larger banks.
Comparing the size group $150,000-$250,000 with the $10,000,000$50,000,000 group, the typical bank in the former group had an average
cost for salaries and wages over the five years of $2.46 per $100 of
loans and investments as against $1.22 for the typical bank in the other
group*

Other expenses for the first group amounted to $2.04, compared

with $1.19 for the second group. Net losses for the first group were $1#33>
and for the second group, fifty-nine cents.
Interest on Deposits. - The larger banks paid more interest on
deposits in proportion to loans and investments than the smaller banks.
This was doubtless due in part to greater competition for deposits in the
cities, and in part to the fact that the larger banks could afford to pay
interest on large demand deposit accounts which are carried at relatively
small cost.
Table 13 shows that generally speaking those size groups whose
banks typically reported the highest burden of interest were those which
had high ratios of time deposits to gross deposits. The smallest banks
(under $150,000) had the lowest annual interest burden, $1.3^ per year for
every $100 of gross deposits or per $100 of loans and investments. The
typical bank in this group had less than $23 of time deposits out of every
$100 of gross deposits. On the other hand, the size group $1,000,000$2,000,000 reported interest amounting to $2.27 per $100 of gross deposits,




-U3-

and the typical bank in this group had more than $53 of time deposits out
of every $100 of gross deposits.

There are factors other than time deposits which bear upon the
relative interest burden. The proportion of demand deposits bearing interest and the rates paid upon these deposits are among those factors.
Some of the large banks pay substantial rates of interest on demand deposits. A subsequent chapter will bring out the fact that the development of American banking over the past few decades has been accompanied
by an increasing*burden of expenses in which interest on deposits has been
an important item.
The banks in the smallest places, perhaps, do not always face as
much competition for customers1 funds as those in the larger cities, but
the smallest banks could not afford even the load of interest on deposits
which they were carrying.




Their other items of expenses were so high

-Ir-

relatively that their final result was unsatisfactory.

Table lk shows that

after paying interest on deposits the smaller banks had remaining from
$5 to $7 annually per $100 of loans and investments, while the larger
banks had little more than $U. However, the larger banks, having smaller
expenses per $100 of loans and investments, showed about the same net
earnings (before losses) as the small banks. The smaller net losses of
the larger banks, however, led to their better showing in net profits.

'•*•' After payment of interest on deposits, wages, and other expenses but before provision for losses.

Salaries and Wages. - There are many small institutions which
show favorable wage costs per unit of business, but in general it is necessary that a bank be of a certain minimum size in order to provide earnings
sufficient to cover salaries, other expenses, losses, and a fair profit.
The largest banks achieve a low unit wage cost in part because
they do business in very large units. While a credit officer who passes




-1+5-

upon loans in units of $100,000 or more may command a higher salary than
one who handles loans in units of $100, the former official may cost his
bank less per unit of business handled.

So also the clerical work of

handling the routine of hanking bears a more direct relationship to the
number of physical items handled and the number of bookkeeping entries
made, than to the average dollar size of such items. It seems relatively
clear, therefore, that when large banks take over small banks to operate
as branches, the amalgamated institutions probably are not able to handle
all the new small scale business at the same favorable wage costs as large
unit banks handle large scale business. Pacts brought out in the British
and Canadian studies suggest that the costs of the great branch banking
institutions represent an average of the low cost offices dealing in large
scale business and the high cost offices dealing in small scale business.
Other Expenses. - Important items among other expenses are
taxes, interest on borrowed money, occupancy costs, and general office
expenses. This analysis, as the form at the end of the appendix indicates,
did not segregate these various smaller components of expenses, and therefore specific information is lacking as to comparisons between different
groups of banks at these points.
Net Losses, - In the percentage of reported net losses to loans
and investments the differential between various groups of banks, during
the period 1926-1930> ^ a s even greater than in the case of salaries and
wages and other expenses, as shown in Chart lh and Table 12.
The reported figures, however, do not tell the full story of net
losses.

The proof that a large proportion of net losses was not written

off currently by the banks is found in the records of suspended banks. In




-46-

liquidating suspended banks it has "been the experience that net losses, on
the average, have been sufficient to wipe out all capital funds and roughly hO to 50 per cent of total deposits. Another important limitation on
the reported figures, furthermore, that would explain to some extent the
relatively good showing of the larger hanks in respect to losses suffered,
is the probable understatement of losses by such of these banks as had
affiliates of one kind or another and made use of these affiliations, by
transferring to them questionable assets, to cut down or conceal the
losses of the bank.

Distribution of the Gross Dollar
The previous paragraphs have shown the expenses and net losses
of banks in the various size groups per $100 of loans and investments. The
same general contrast between various size groups is shown when these items
are expressed as percentages of gross earnings*

To illustrate'this dif-

ference two size groups were selected, one with loans and investments of
$150,000~$250,000 and the other with $10,000,000-$50,000,000. For the
typical bank in each of these groups $100 of gross earnings was distributed
during the period 1926-I93O as shown in Table 15.

Although the typical bank in the group $10,000,000-$50,000,000
paid out a much larger proportion of gross earnings in interest on deposits,
the amount remaining for net profits was three times as great as in the
case of the $150,000-$250,000 group. The difference was due to the higher
opera-ting costs and larger net losses in the case of the latter group*
Salaries and wages, other expenses, and net losses consumed $72.2*+ out of
every $100 of gross earnings in the $150,000-$250,000 group, compared with
only $5+7.02 out of every $100 of gross in the case of the $10,000,000$50,000,000 group.

groups differ not only because of the varying rates of net profits per
$100 of loans and investments but also by reason of the relation of loans
and investments to invested capital. The high ratio of $33 of invested
capital to $100 of loans and investments for the smallest size group is
shown in Table l6.

In other small size groups, there is as much as $20

of invested capital per $100 of loans and investments.

In some of the

groups of larger banks, on the other hand, the ratio is less than $l6.
For example, comparing the size group $150,000-$250,000 with the size
group $l0,000,000-$50,000,000, it is observed that the typical bank in
the second group earned $1,21 on loans and investments—a rate nearly two
and a half times as high as the typical bank in the first group. The
typical bank in the second group, however, reported net profits of $8,27
on $100 of invested capital which was about four times the rate earned by
the first group, owing to the fact that the first group had a 50 per cent
higher ratio of invested capital to loans and investments*

Note: If figures in column 1 are divided by figures in column
2, the results will not exactly equal column 3» due to the
fact that ratios given for groups of banks axe not the ratios
that would "be obtained "by treating all "banks in a group as
one big bank, but are ratios typical of the group obtained by
averaging the ratios of all the banks in the group, giving
each bank a weight of one.

These figures raise the question as to why small banks operate
with a higher capital base than large banks. Under the National Bank Actf
banks in towns of a population in excess of 6,000 but not in excess of
50,000 must have a capital of $100,000. In towns the population of udiich
exceeds 3*000 but does not exceed 6,000 the minimum capital may be $50,000;
in towns the population of which does not exceed 3>000 minimum capital must
equal $25,000. All national banks are required to carry 10 per cent of
their net profits to surplus until the surplus is equal to 20 per cent of
capital.




- 49-

At $l6 of invested capital per $100 of loans and investments, a
ratio sustained "by many of the larger banks, the minimum amount of loans
and investments of a $30,000 invested capital "bank would "be $lS7f 500;
an invested capital of $120,000 would support $750,000 in loans and investments. There were, in 1930, 300 national "banks which had less than
$150,000 of loans and investments, and doubtless there are many larger
hanks trying to live where they cannot accumulate a volume of "business
sufficient to cover expenses and losses. This places an undue strain
on management*

To show satisfactory results hanks must have a large

enough volume of "business to support the amount of their invested capital*
A later chapter will "bring out the fact that there has "been
a large increase in the volume of "business compared to invested capital
among national "banks in the aggregate over the past thirty years. Canadian and English experiences with reference to the relation of invested
capital to volume of "business show that the large hanks of those countries
have even smaller ratios of invested capital to loans and investments than
the typical large national hank. Among the "Big Five" hanks of England
in recent years there has "been as little as $6 to $7 of hook invested
capital to $100 of loans and investments; in Canada, $10. Hidden capital
reserves, however, are said to he high in "both of these systems.
In this connection it should he noted that some of our largest
national hanks have more capital funds compared to loans and investments
than many of the medium sized hanks.

In most size groups the hanks of the

industrialized Northeast have more invested capital relatively than hanks




- 50 ~

in the agricultural Mid-continent States.

In the size group $150,000-

$250,000, for example, northeastern national "banks had an average of
$26*50 of invested capital per $100 of loans and investments for the
period 1926-1930, while mid-continent hanks had hut $22.50.

In the size

group of $5,000,000 and over, the figures were respectively $16.70 and
$13.56.
The problem of the proper ratio of capital funds to the volume
of business involves, of course, a compromise between two objectives. On
the one hand, the safety- of deposits is greater when the ratio of capital
funds is high.

On the other hand, a close margin of profit on deposits

converts into a more satisfactory rate of return on the smaller invested
capital.

Geographic Variations in Expenses of Banks
In order to determine how items of earnings and expenses vary in
an industrial area as contrasted with an agricultural area, comparisons
have been made between the Northeastern States and the Mid-continent
States.

Chart 15 shows that gross earnings per $100 of loans and invest-

ments in the Northeastern States vary little from small bank to large
bank.

In the Mid-continent States, on the other hand, the rate of gross

earnings is substantially higher for smaller banks than for the larger
banks.

The figures for both gross earnings and net profits per $100 of

loans and investments are given in Table 17. The fact that both the rates
on customers1 loans and the proportion of funds invested in such loans are
higher in the Mid-continent States than in the Northeastern States is doubtless reflected in the higher gross earnings in the fomer region.

Chart 16 gives the rates of gross earnings and net profits per
$100 of loans and investments for Iowa State hanks by size groups*

In the

size group $150,000-$250,000 the typical Iowa State bank earned $7.52 gross,
compared with $6.65 for banks of more than $2,000,000 loans and investments.
The fact that mid-continent national banks showed a higher rate of gross
earnings than Iowa State banks may be due in part to the higher interest
rates prevailing in other Mid-continent States*
Chart 17 brings out the variations in expense items and net
losses between banks in the Northeastern States and the Mid-continent
States, and Table IS gives the figures. As to interest on deposits, there
was little difference, but for salaries and wages, other expenses, and net
losses decided contrasts appear.

In the Mid-continent States net losses

were larger through all size groups than in the Northeast, reflecting

perhaps a higher average risk in the foraer area.

In loss experience,

however, large banks of the Mid-continent States make almost as favorable
a record as the northeastern hanks* Most small hank groups in the Northeast compare favorably with large banks theref hat the small banks of the
Mid-continent States did not make such a good showing.
In the matter of operating expenses there is again a sharp contrast between the small banks of the Northeast and the Mid-continent States,
It takes much less in salaries and wages in a year to handle $100 of business measured in loans and investments in the small banks of the Northeast
than in those of the Mid-continent States. This is true also of other
expenses.

general pattern observed for national "banks in the Mid-continent States.
Expenses in Iowa, however, are apparently lower in general than in some
of the other Mid-continent States. The group of banks $150,000~$250,000
reported annual average salaries and wages of $1.91» other expenses of
$1.42, and net losses of $1.30 per $100 of loans and investments, while
for hanks of $2,000,000 and over these figures were $1.17, $1*05* and
sixty-six cents, respectively.

Thus, if Iowa State hanks may he taken as

representative of State hanks in general, the same contrasts in operating
ratios are to he found "between small and large State hanks as between small
and large national hanks, the large "banks having lower expenses and smaller
net losses per unit of business.
That State banks in Iowa pay more interest on deposits per $100
of loans and investments than national banks, as shown in Table 19* is
probably due to the fact that the ratio of time deposits to gross deposits
in that State is substantially higher among State banks than among national
banks.

Annual Variations in Earnings and Expenses
Chart 19 shows to what extent the operating experiences of
individual years departed from the average for the five year period,
1926-1330, covered "by this study.

In order to "bring the statistics within

a manageable compass, it was desirable not to present all of the various
size groups but, as elsewhere in these paragraphs, the groups, $150,000$250,000 of loans and investments and $5,000,000 and over, are used.
Little variation from year to year appears with respect to interest on
deposits, salaries and wages, and other expenses, but larger differences
can be seen in the case of gross earnings and net losses. .Among large
banks the easy money period of 1927 and 1928 finds expression in a lower
rate of gross earnings on loans and investments. Agricultural difficulties are recorded in the higher net losses of banks with loans and investments of $150,000-$250,000 in the Mid-continent States in 1926 and 1927,
while the effect of the recent depression cornes out in the net losses in
193° of both groups of banks in both the Northeast and in the Mid-continent
States*

In general these detailed figures indicate that the five- year

averages are reasonably representative of the several years.

B A M PROFITS AND ECONOMIC TRENDS. 1890-1931

The earning and expense records of individual "banks for
years prior to the war are not available, and it is, therefore, impossible to determine whether the record of banks of different size
groups in earlier years was the same as in the five year period 19261930 covered in detail in this study.
Some major long-term trends in hank profits, however, have
been associated with the general factors which have brought about the
banking conditions prevailing since 1920. Changing economic conditions form the setting for developments in the field of banking during the past decade. Price changes, business depressions, and bank
failures are not new in the country's history, but, in view of banking reforms based on earlier experiences, the public had developed
the belief prior to 1920 that the banking system had achieved a
stability more favorable to weathering the ups and downs of general
business.
A bank, perhaps more than any other type of institution,
needs to fortify itself against depression, and the management is
properly expected to strengthen its position in good years in order
to be prepared for the problems of lean years. Not only must bank
management cope with the short-term ups and downs of business, but




~6o~

- 61 -

it mast also confront the problems presented "by long time tendencies*
In view of the hanking record in this country during the past ten
years, it is significant that both the English and Canadian systems
have shown a noteworthy degree of stability and safety, sometimes
under even more trying conditions than those which have prevailed
here.
There have been forces of expansion in operation since the
beginning of this century which have a direct hearing on many hanking
problems of recent years. The effects of these forces, many of which
center around price movements, were accelerated in some respects during
the war years and modified in others.

Wholesale prices rose gradually

from the middle nineties to 1915 and rapidly from 1915 to 1920, so that
on the latter date they were over three times as high as twenty-five
years earlier.

In 1920 and 1921, however, they declined rapidly and

after a period of relatively moderate fluctuations were in 1929 about
twice as high as in 1895•

The volume of production was almost three

times as high in 1929 as in 1895•

The changes in wholesale prices

and production are shown in Chart 21. (^)

world*s demand for agricultural products, the prices of farm commodities
rose even faster than the general price level, and in 1920 were about
three and one-half times as high as in 1895•

This was accompanied dur-

ing most of the period by an even more rapid rise in farm land values,
which for the United States as a whole increased nearly 300 per cent
during the same period, as shown in Table 20.

With rising commodity prices and land values, and the growing
volume of "business, the net profits of banks per $100 of loans and investments averaged relatively high during the early years of this century, while business failures and bank losses per $100 of loans and investments were low (Charts 20, 22, and 23)- The result was a competitive scramble in the establishment of banking institutions which lasted
over twenty years*

Capital requirements were lowered and insufficient

attention was paid to the qualifications of those to whom bank charters
were granted.

The number of State and national brinks increased from

2,73S in 1900 to 21,US6 in 1910, and to 28,659 in 1920.

In other words,

the number of banks in the country more than doubled during the first
decade and more than trebled by 1920.

(These figures do not include

private banks or mutual savings banks.)

The principal part of the increase occurred in the small towns and rural
communities which were experiencing a period of prosperity through the
rise in farm prices and land values.

In spite of the growth in size of

the large city institutions, the number of small "banks organized was so
great that the average size of all banks in the country changed little
until after 1915*

In fact the average size in 1915 ^ s slightly less

than in 1900*
It is the general experience in industry that competition moves
in the direction of narrowing the margin of profits per unit of output«
Management looks then to large scale production or increased capital turnover to sustain a satisfactory rate of net profits on invested capital.
Something like this appears to have happened in American banking over the
past three decades. While gross earnings per $100 of loans and investments
rose rapidly, especially after 1905i expenses rose even more rapidly, as
shown in Chart 22. In proportion to the volume of business, therefore,
net profits declined rather sharply from 1900 to 1922, and after a few
years at a relatively stable level dropped again in 1930 and 1931* ~ile
average net profits per $100 of loans and investments for the years 19011910 were $2-26, and for 1922-I93I, $1.13, representing a reduction of 50
per cent.
This decline in the rate of net profits per $100 of loans and investments, however, was offset in part by an increase in the volume of business per $1 of invested capital. This is illustrated in Chart 23 and Table
21»

The average ratio of invested capital to loans and investments was $1 to

$3.62 in the years 1901-1910, while it was $1 to $5»91 during the years
1922-1931*

Net profits per $100 of invested capital for the two periods,

therefore, were $S#29 and $6.70, respectively, a reduction of only 19«2

Furthermore, certain changes were going on during the period of
expansion, in the kind and quality of business transacted by commercial
banks. Additions to the monetary gold stock of this country and the successive reductions in reserve requirements provided by the Federal Reserve
Act and its amendments put banks in possession of easy reserves. Additions to reserves placed the banks under temptation to expand, and to use
commercial bank credit to support capital commitments, or putting it the
other way, a tendency to invest demand deposits in long time enterprises.
These tendencies had an important effect upon the quality of assets of
many banking institutions, which were constantly reaching for high yields.
A factor in the growth of long-term commitments of commercial
banks has been the fact that these banks which hold the country's demand
deposits, representing the principal part of our medium of current payments,
have the custody of a large amount of deposits representing real savings.
In many cases these savings deposits are in practice also payable on demand.
At the same time, bidding for savings by offering high rates of interest on
deposits has been a common practice. Many banks have cultivated a type of
business in which they in effect interposed their guarantee between the
savings depositor and the long-term borrower.

In effect they became partly

investment trusts, with a large part of their liabilities payable on demand
or short notice.
Chart 2k shows the rapid groY/th of securities, loans on securities .and loans on real estate in national banks from 1915 through 1930*
The increase in capital commitments, however, ha.s been even larger than is
indicated by this classification, since a substantial proportion of the

technically short-term loans of many institutions, especially in the
agricultural districts, were in effect long-term commitments. Often
they were unsecured and were no better than a second or third lien on
farm lands at inflated values. The prior liens were usually held "by
other lending agencies. An examination of tne assets of failed hanks
brings out the fact that many of these loans which were short-term in
form had been running for five, ten, fifteen years, or even longer.
Many managers, having received all their banking experience during a
period of rising prices, grew less cautious in the matter of making
loans*
The consequence was that part of the portfolio of a great
number of commercial banks consisted of capital loans, which, in many
cases, were inferior in quality to those held by the competing life
insurance companies, building and loan associations, Federal land banks,
joint stock land banks, and savings banks*

This type of asset caused

no trouble during a period pf rising prices, but was wholly unsuited
to the period of falling prices which gradually undermined equities
beneath capital values. Losses accumulated gradually over a period of
years and ultimately had to be dealt with.

Losses incidental to loans

on self-liquidating paper of business become apparent in a short time
and are usually absorbed currently*

This is less true with respect to

long-term loans on capital values, where losses may accumulate over a
period of years without being written off. When the final accounting
comes, through bank suspension or otherwise, the bank's equity in many




- 71 -

cases has largely disappeared.

The effects of this tendency can "be

traced in the natter of losses sustained "by stockholders and depositors
following the liquidation of failed institutions. The estimates in the
Committee!s study of suspensions, covering the period 1921-1930> show
that in liquidating "banks the loss to general depositors has averaged
from Ho to 50 per cent of their deposits.
The effects of these factors were most apparent from 1921
to 1929 in the agricultural districts where land values declined continually • Many "banks with small resources, limited facilities, and
restricted activities found it particularly difficult to cope with the
situation. Their assets came largely from one industry, and when that
industry was not prosperous they suffered the consequences, especially
where improvident loans had been granted.

Daring 1930 and 1931* "flow-

everf hanks in other districts were similarly affected through the
decline in the prices of securities and urban real estate.
In countries where a commercial banking tradition exists,
such as Canada or England, it is a fundamental principle that deposits
payable on demand or short notice may not with safety be locked up in
long-term commitments. Many of the banks of deposit in this country
have operated along lines not consistent with that principle.
For example, rural banks have not confined their financing
to the current short-term needs of the farmer, but have supplied him
capital in large proportion to their total loans and so eventually became heavily implicated in the farm real estate boom and its collapse.




- 72 -

In the "banking troubles that followed, one out of every two banks with
loans and investments of less than $500,000 in agricultural regions
failed.

Some of the larger institutions have also experienced serious

difficulties, but as a rule they have enjoyed greater stability*

Part

of the advantage of the larger banks was inherent in their size which
facilitated a better diversity of risks.

Trend in Gross Barnings
The rate of gross earnings of national banks has tended to
vary with the movements of interest rates. The relationship is natural
since a large proportion of gross earnings of banks is interest.

Gross

earnings per $100 of loans and investments rose faster than interest
rates from 1905-1921, however, and the spread between the two is still
substantially higher than in the early years of the century.

This is

illastrated in Chart 25 and Table 22 which compare the rate of gross
earnings per $100 of loans and investments with the average annual
yield on sixty high-grade bonds as computed by the Standard Statistics
Company.

Tor the five years 1927-1931 the rate of gross earnings was

$6.US as compared with an average of $5»0S during 1901-1905> a rise
of nearly 30 per cent. The rate of gross earnings on loans and investments at &§• per cent in recent years compares with around U| per cent
for bond yields.

In 1918 there was about $5.98 of gross earnings per $100 of loans and
investments, $0.38 of which came from sources other than interest and
discount and recoveries*

In 193* there was $6»U4 of gross earnings per

$100 of loans and investments, $0«95 of which came from such outside
sources. The increasing proportion of gross earnings which has been
derived of recent years from sources other than interest and discount
has been a factor in sustaining the rate of gross earnings.

Trend in Expenses of Banks
Expenses of national banks per $100 of loans and investments
rose over 150 per cent from the beginning of the century to 1921. This
compares with an increase of about 1+5 per cent in gross earnings per
$100 of loans and investments during the same period.

While expenses

have declined since 1921, they are still running more than 100 per cent
above the average during 1901-1905»

Gross earnings, on the other hand*

are about 30 per cent higher. These comparisons were shown in Chart
22 and the figures for expenses per $100 of loans and investments of
national banks from 1890-193* a re given in Table 26.
It is difficult to arrive at definite conclusions as to
the factors which have been chiefly responsible for this rise in bank
expenses per $100 of loans and investments, because the long-term records do not divide the figure for expenses of national banks into its
component parts. It was also in 1918 that the Comptroller of the Currency began to make a considerable division in expenses, and conditions
have been so abnormal since that date that the figures indicate little
as to trends. Total expenses reached their peak in 1921 at $5^7 per
$100 of loans and investments, and declined to $U.5U in 193**

The

various items of expenses have declined since 1921, with the exception
of interest on deposits which has risen somewhat. The decline in salaries
and wages has been very slight, but reductions in taxes and interest
on borrowed money have been substantial. Table 2h shows the details
of national bank expenses for each year since they became available
in 1918.

Expenses among Kansas State Banks. - A classification of bank
expenses during the earlier years of the century is available in the
figures for the State banks of Kansas, collected and aggregated by the
State superintendent of banking.

Chart 26 and Table 25 present annual

interest on deposits, salaries and wages, and other expenses per $100
of loans and investments for Kansas State banks from 1902 through 1929
and for all national banks from 19IS through 1931. A comparison of
the national bank figures, available for 191S and subsequent years,
with those of Kansas State banks indicates an approximately equal burden

of interest on deposits in the two classes of banks. This is con-

sistent with the findings of the analysis of 1926-1930 which indicated
little difference in the burden of interest on deposits between the
Mid-continent States and the average of the whole country.

period, i.e., from $1.05 to $1.87.

It would thus appear that among

Kansas State "banks the major portion of the increase in bank expenses
during the period is attributable to increasing interest on deposits.
It is unfortunate that the Kansas figures cannot be checked against
the experience in other States. It was possible to erect a limited
series for Ohio State banks, which showed that interest on deposits
did not increase as rapidly as in Kansas.
The history of expenses in Kansas banks does not suggest that
all of the increase in the cost of handling a unit of business among
national banks in the past three decades was a matter of interest on
deposits, although this element was highly important.

It is generally

believed that expenses, exclusive of interest on deposits, have risen
substantially among the English joint stock banks between the first and
third decades of this century.

Some figures indicating that this in-

crease is about one-third were assembled in the report on English branch
banking.

It is probable that increases in expenses, other than interest

on deposits, have likewise occurred in this country.
The growth of Time Deposits. - The increasing burden of interest
on deposits among national banks is directly associated with the growth
in savings deposits. It has been estimated that among American commercial
banks time deposits in 1900 were about 12 per cent of all deposits exclusive of interbank deposits. The proportion of time deposits by 1915 was
30 per cent and by 1930 more than ko per cent. Por national banks alone




- SI ~

the proportion in 1900 was U per cent; in 1915, 20 per cent; and in
1930, U3 per cent.
Bankers1 associations and clearing house organizations have
"been concerned for many years "by this growing burden of interest on
deposits.

It is of interest in this connection to note the situation

in the Canadian and English banking systems. Both of these systems
are comprised of but a few units which are accustomed to take concerted
action in a variety of directions, but the burden of interest on deposits per unit of business appears to be higher among the banks of Canada
and England than among the national banks of the United States. The
multiplicity of competitive factors, which bear upon the activity of
banks, seems to have forced them to look to operating costs, rather
than to lowering interest on deposits, as a means of increasing net
profits.

In a sense interest paid on deposits is in the nature of

profit sharing with bank customers, and the burden of interest paid on
deposits has been higher at the larger banks, which make larger net
profits per unit of invested capital than the smaller banks. This was
brought out in Chapter III.

Bank Expenses and Customer Services* - I t has often been
pointed out that expenses of hanks have been adversely affected over
a period of years by a tendency to increase a v a r i e t y of free services
extended to customers, some of a banking nature but many wholly outside the f i e l d of banking a c t i v i t i e s .

A committee of the American

Bankers Association^ 2 / estimated that such services cost the banks
$300>000,000 in a recent year, a part of which may be prorated to the
n a t i o n a l banking system.

On the b a s i s of t o t a l banking strength, per-

haps, $100,000,000 to $120,000,000 of the amount was absorbed by

national "banks. During recent years, the total annual expenses of all
national "banks have aggregated slightly under $1,000,000*000.

Trend in Sross Losses
Annual gross losses^ ' for all national "banks together have
fluctuated "between $0.50 a ^& $1«65 per $100 of loans and investments
during the course of the past forty years, as is shown in Table 27. The
tendency from the "beginning of the cefttury until the outbreak of the
war was generally downward, "but sharp increases occurred during periods
of depression.
Charts 20 and 21 suggest relationships "between the year to year
developments in the rate of gross losses on the one hand and the course
of production, wholesale prices, and commercial failures^ ' on the other.
The correlation "between gross losses and changes in economic conditions
is marked.

The rate of gross losses tended to increase in such periods

of inactivity in production as those centering around 1S93> 1907t 1921,
and 1930.
During the years of rising wholesale commodity and land prices
in the first two decades of the century, the rate of gross losses for
national "banks moved generally in a downward direction.

It did not re-

quire high-grade banking judgment to avoid losses under such conditions.
Conversely the rapid fall in prices in 1921 was accompanied by a marked
increase in gross losses and the same relationship occurred in the years

^1' In earlier years, recoveries were not given separately but were included in gross earnings. Therefore, gross losses were used for all
years, 1890-1931.

Losses Not Written Off Currently. - It might have been expected that the rate of gross losses would have increased more in the
past decade of banking difficulties than the chart indicates.

In this

connection, it should be noted that losses written off with respect to
assets of banks after failure are not included in the losses charted,
which represent the charge-offs against income of active banks only.




~ ss In the eleven years 1921-1931, active national banks reported
gross losses of $1,929,87^,000, while it has "been estimated that stockholders and depositors of national banks which failed in the years 19211931 have incurred or will incur additional losses of many hundreds of
millions of dollars because of write-downs after failure.

Gross losses

per $100 of loans and investments might from one point of view, therefore, be regarded as much higher than that indicated on Charts 20 and 22.
It has been pointed out that there has probably been a decided
tendency over the past two decades for banks to increase the proportion
of loans resting in the last analysis on capital values instead of upon
the flow of goods and services. Loans in bank portfolios resting upon
capital values raise special problems in periods of falling prices and
general liquidation.

The small banks of the agricultural communities

have been affected through the whole of the past decade by the progressive decrease in farm land values.
In the expansion period 1900-1920 the average price of farai
real estate in this country more than tripled, while in the subsequent
11 years it declined by nearly UO per cent.

This reverse in prices is

clearly traceable in the reported losses of active national banks. Among
country national banks(l) in the Mid-continent States the annual gross
losses written off in the years I9II-I920 averaged sixty cents per $100
of loans and investments.

In the years 1921-1931 the average was $1.52.

If the additional losses which became apparent during the liquidation of
national banks which failed in this area were taken into consideration,

(l) Those not in reserve cities.




- S9 -

the rate of loss would be much higher.
Hie large decline in security prices since 1929 has been the
contributory cause of many bank: failures in the past two or three years.
In the middle of the past decade national banks had to write off no more
than a moderate amount annually because of bond investments, which represent loans resting upon capital values. Forty cents for every $100 of
such investments was charged off during the year I927 and forty-nine
cents during 1928. This jumped to ninety-four cents during 1929, to
$1.05 during 1930, and to $2.^7 during 1931. During the summer of 1931
the administrative authorities, however, liberalized rules with respect
to writing down bonds to correspond to the markets.
Comparison between Eeserve City Banks and "CountryH Banks
A direct comparison of the long time trends in the net profits,
expenses, and net losses of smaller banks as contrasted with larger banks
is not possible because of the lack of earnings records of individual
national banks for years prior to 1921. A comparison of country national
banks with reserve city national banks, however, gives some indication of
the differences between large and small banks. Reserve city banks are
larger on the average than country banks though all reserve city bonks are
not large and all country banks are not small.
To make this comparison the country banks and reserve city banks
were segregated in the Northeastern States and in the Mid-continent States,
and the various items of earnings and expenses were computed per $100 of
loans and investments for each of the groups. The results of these computations appear in Charts 22-31.

'

New York City national banks were

- 90 ~

omitted from the reserve city "banks in the Northeastern States "because it
was "believed that these large "banks, many of which do an international
"business, would weight the comparison unfairly•
Gross Earnings in Reserve City and Country Banks* - Chart 28
presents annual gross earnings per $100 of loans and investments for these
four groups of "banks. An upward trend in gross earnings is discernible
in each of these groups during the three decades of this century.

The

trend is less marked among the country banks of the Mid-continent States
than in the other three groups, however.
It is apparent from this series that the country banks of the
Mid-continent States have continuously had a higher rate of gross earnings per $100 of loans and investments than the city banks. This rela^tionship between the two classes of "banks has not prevailed in the Northeast.

The detailed analysis for 1926~193°>

it w i l 1

^ e recalled, showed

a similar situation with respect to large and small banks.
Bank Expenses. - The upward trend of bank expenses is clearly
evident in all four groups of banks as shown in Chart 29.

It will be

observed that in recent years expenses have been higher for country banks
than for reserve city banks in both areas, but the difference is not so
striking- as in the comparisons between small and large banks in the bank
by bank analysis for 1926-1930*

This was to be expected since the classi-

fications, reserve city and country, are not synonymous with large and
small banks.

In the northeastern group country banks showed lower ex-

penses than reserve city banks two decades ago, but since about 1922 the
reverse is true.

In the mid-continent area, on the other hand, expenses

of country banks have 'been almost continuously higher than those of
reserve city banks.

Gross Losses, - Chart 30 presents gross losses per $100 of loans
and investments for the country and reserve city banks in the two areas.
Banking difficulties of the past decade as well as the lS90!s are reflected in the high levels of gross losses of "both country and reserve
city hanks, especially in the Mid-continent States.

It is noteworthy,

however, that from 1900 to 1920 there was little difference in the records
of city and country "banks in either area.

Since 1921 the rate of gross

losses among country hanks in the Mid-continent States has "been substantially higher than among reserve city banks.

In the Northeastern States,

on the other hand, the country banks showed a better record than the
reserve city banks until 1931*

I n general, the rate of gross losses has

been higher in the Mid-continent States than in the Northeastern States
during periods of depression.
Net Profits. ~ Chart 31 brings together the net results of the
three factors, gross earnings, expenses, and gross losses.

It shows that

in the Mid-continent States the net profits per $100 of loans and investments among country banks were much higher than among reserve city banks
for the first twenty years of this century.
ever, the opposite has been the case.

During the past decade, how-

In other words, the decline in the

rate of net profits per $100 of loans and investments has been much more
rapid in the case of the country banks than in the case of the city banks.
High rates of expenses and gross losses have both contributed to the decrease in the rate of net profits per $100 of loans and investments of
these banks.

In the Northeastern States no large contrast between coun-

try and reserve city banks appears, but the downward tendency in the rate

of net profits per $100 of loans and investments persists among both
groups.
In general it must be concluded that this method of analysis
produces no conclusive evidence as to the relative records of large and
small national banks in earlier decades. The much lower rate of net
profits per $100 of loans and investments among the country banks of the
Mid-continent States during the past decade as compared to the previous
three decades would suggest, however, that the convergence of competitive
factors and changes in economic conditions have been felt particularly by
banks with limited resources.




CHATTER V

SUMMASY

Net Profits of Banks. - Over the four decades 1891-1930 the net
profits of banks on invested capital, as indicated by the official figures
for all national banks taken together, fluctuated between about k per cent
and about 11 per cent.

In 1931 they were under 1.5 per cent and in 1932

a net deficit was experienced.

Over the period 1900-1931i

for

which com-

parison has been made between the net profits of all national banks taken
together and the average yield on a group of high-grade bonds, it appears
that the rate of return realized on capital invested in national banks was
the higher in all years except 19311 and that the differential was seldom
less than 2 per cent and not infrequently more than 3 per cent*

It appears,

therefore, that prior to the development of the current depression the banking system of the United States, considered as a whole, was fairly profitable.
The use of aggregate figures for all national banks does not afford an adequate basis for understanding the recent history of the banking
system of the country, however, because these data reflect the composite
experience of banks with records that vary all the way from very good to
very bad.

In order to develop a more adequate basis, through isolating by

groups the banks that were typically profitable from those that were not the
official reports of national banks for the five-year period

1926-I93O have

been analyzed in detail.
During this five-year period somewhat more than half of the banks,
or about 4,000 annually on the average, having well over half of the loans




-97-

~ 9S ~

and investments of all national banks, realized net profits of 6 per cent or
more on their invested capital. Somewhat less than half, or 3»^°3 hanks,
failed to realize as much as 6 per cent. Of these there were 1,396 that
earned more than 3 per cent, S36 that earned less than 3 per cent, and 1,171
that earned nothing or had annual net deficits.
Net Profits b£ Size of Banks. 1926-1930. - A majority of the hanks
reporting net deficits had less than $500,000 of loans and investments, and
over three quarters of them had less than $1,000,000 loans and investments.
Dividing the "banks into size groups and beginning with the small institutions, the record of net profits showed a progressive improvement from one
size group to the next. Twenty-five per cent of all national hanks with
loans and investments of less than $500,000 showed annual net deficits during the five years. On the other hand, less than 3 per cent of the national
hanks with loans and investments of $50,000,000 and over showed annual net
deficits.
Comparing the same size groups it was found that nearly kO per
cent of the banks with loans and investments of less than $500,000 against
7 per cent of the banks with loans and investments of $50,000,000 and over
reported annual net deficits or net profits of less than 3 P e r cent on invested capital. Almost 60 per cent of the first group of banks against 21
per cent of the second group of banks reported annual net deficits or net
profits of less than 6 per cent. About 37 per cent of all national banks
in I93O had less than $500,000 of loans and investments, but for State and
national banks combined about 6S per cent of the total number of banks, holding about 6 per cent of the loans and investments of all commercial banks,
was in that size group.




There were, of course, many profitable small banks in all locali-

~ 99 -

ties, some highly profitable ones. Many small banks succeed because of exceptional management, in some instances assisted by other particularly favorable circumstances.

In the group of banks with loans and investments of

less than $150,000, 26 out of 100 annually showed net profits of 6 per cent
or more on invested capital during the period 1926-1930. In the group
with loans and investments of $15Q,000~$250,000, 3S out of 100 reported net
profits of 6 per cent or more*

In the group with loans and investments of

$250,000-$500,000, hj out of 100 reported net profits of 6 per cent or more.
It is not possible to draw a sharp distinction as to what rate of
net profits constitutes success. Clearly, however, a rate of net profits
on invested capital of less than 3 per cent is unsatisfactory, and a bank
which cannot average at least as much as 6 per cent a year is not likely to
build up reserves sufficient to insure its safety.
The contrast between different groups of banks was apparent in
each of the five years I926-I93O, although in the depression year 1930 it
was somewhat less pronounced.

In the Mid-continent States the comparative

record of net profits of banks with loans and investments of less than
$500,000 was below that for the country as a whole. Half of all banks
with loans and investments of less than $500,000 are located in the agricultural Mid-continent States. During 1926-I93O the record of banks of
this size was best in the industrialized States of the Northeastern part of
the country. Among Iowa State banks, the contrast between different groups
of banks was comparable to that among national banks in that area, and in
view of the relatively larger number of suspensions among State banks it
is probable that a like condition obtained among State banks the country
over.




- 100 -

Costs of Different Groups of Banks. - The unit costs of doing
business, and consequently the charge upon the community per $100 of accommodation, have been generally higher among banks of limited resources than
among those with more ample resources.
In the Mid-continent States among banks with loans and investments
of $150,000-$25O,000 the typical annual gross earnings during the period
were $8,69 per $100 of loans and investments against $6,62 among banks with
loans and investments of $5,000,000 and over. The first group, however,
paid out $6.6S of this amount in expenses, wrote off $1.66 in net losses,
and showed net profits of thirty-five cents per $100 of loans and investments.

The expenses of the second group were $4.g4 and their losses sixty-

six cents, leaving net profits of $1.12.
The relatively small rate of net profits on invested capital of
the first group resulted in a still less satisfactory rate of net profits
on invested capital compared with that of the second group, owing to the
fact that the second group had a greater volume of business per dollar of
invested capital.
Bank Profits and Economic Trends. - Some major long-term trends
in bank profits have been associated with general factors which have brought
about banking conditions prevailing since 1920. During the early years of
this century, commodity prices and land values were rising. Bank losses
were low and the setting was favorable to the great expansion which occurred
in the number of banks and in banking resources over the course of several
decades.
Concurrent with this expansion and increase in competition, the
rate of net profits per $100 of loans and investments among national banks
as a group has been about cut in half within three decades. The evidence




- 101 -

indicates that an increasing burden of interest on deposits has made large
contributions to the growth in the cost of handling a unit of business.
Expenses have doubled over the period, but the rise in the rate of gross
earnings has not been commensurate. The narrowed rate of net profits per
$100 of loans and investments has not been fully reflected in the rate of
return on invested capital due to the fact that the volume of business per
$1 of invested capital has almost doubled.
The expansion in banking has been accompanied by a large relative
increase in the savings bank function in the commercial banks. Concurrent
with this process, there has been an increase in loans resting upon capital
values. During a period of liquidation and price recession long-term advances of this sort contribute heavily to bank losses.
The narrowing of the rate of net profits per $100 of loans and
investments over three decades has been felt most severely by the type of
bank which has been least able to control its costs effectively.

Chapter III

brought out the relative position of groups of banks of different sizes in
this respect.

No adequate body of statistics exists for comparing the

earnings records of banks of different sizes in the pre-war years. It is
clear from the evidence, however, that any class of banks, which over a considerable period is not able to earn a fair rate of return, will fail to
build up reserves against bad times. Moreover, in order to improve profits
it is under constant temptation to take unwarranted risks, which in the end
are likely to lead to failure.
