OMAHA'S MANICINO PIUMS. The strength and solidity of Omaha's banks has given the city n v\lda \ reputation of financial stability. During all the financial dlflle'ultlcs of the past year which \\ero felt so iovercly in eastern cities and the effects of which reached to some extent into the west , Omaha's financial Institutions showed themselves worthy of nil the confidence placed In them by the business men and capitalists of the city , Under the manage ment of experienced nnd consorvath o llnnn- clcrs they nro prepared , not only to ni"ot the requirements of ordinary dally transnetions. but to meet as well any emergency that might bo brought on hy a stiliiRcnt money market or any other crisis incident to the business of the financial world. The b inking business of Omaha is represented by nine national banks , two state banks nnd nine tavlups banks. The fact that Omalm Is ono of the national reserve cities has mntcilnliy strengthened her financial concerns and largely increased the number and extent of deposits from the banking houses of the cities nnd towns In the Interior of this nnd adjoining states. Banks In other than re- orvo cities can count balances duo them from b.uiks in Omaha as a portion of the law ful reserve they are required to hav e on hand.
