Savings shift to securities amid bank deposit shrinkage
John J. Mitchell, president of the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, told Chicago listeners that despite large declines in savings deposits nationwide and a $50,000,000 to $100,000,000 loss at his institution in the past year, the withdrawal largely flowed into bonds and stocks at low prices yielding 7 to 8 percent. He argued that more money in securities strengthens the financial system and reduces risk. He noted improving overall conditions and touched on railroad ties to Harriman, suggesting strategic moves and civil relations among key figures.
