The Reasons for the
To provide a way for those of moderate and even
small means to save money.
To teach thrift to old and young by a systematic meth
od of saving a specified sum each week. The Christmas
Banking Club makes it easy for all to save.
Saving money is the one sure way to have money.
Most large fortunes began with small savings. Many
small deposits make a large sum; as the amount inereases,
vour interest in your balance increases, and it is that in
terest, called ““the saving habit,”” that leads to wealth.
To give all ““a bank connection” so they will learn
the many ways in which our bank can be of service to
themn.

Though Peace Propcsals Started Fall
In Prices, the “Stalel” Bull Market
Required Readjustment, Anyway. |
New York, Dec. 19.—The redical
downward revision of market quota
tions which accompanied last week’s
enormous selling movements derived
its chief impetus from Germany's un
expected peace proposals, but seemed
inevitable, apart from foreign or do
mestic political developments. In the
judgment of disinterested observers,
the bull market had grown “stale” and |
required drastic readjustment. |
Prices rebounded 5 to 10 points and
even more in the latter part of the
week, when advices from abroad
threw a damper on the prospects of
early truce.
There was much conjecture dealing
with this country’s economic condition
after the war, but the consensus of
oponion in high financial circles was
that the demands of peace would fully
offset these occasioned by the titanic
struggle still raging.
All branches of the foreign exchange
‘market were strengthened by the
news from abroad, particularly rates to
‘the Teutonic countries, but the move
‘ment was sentimental. International
“war bonds also hardened perceptibly,
with an increased inquiry for the
loans issued by Great Britain.
~ The strength of railway issues in
dicated steady accumulation of those
shares from investment quarters. The
cheaper issues rose 3 to 5 points, south
ern and southwestern lines being most
favored.
Monetary conditions were relative
ly easy, at no time approaching the
high rates of the previous fortnight.
The overhauling of the stock market
is expected to make for a further re
duction of loans. Excess reserves of
Jacal banks have increased substan
tially.
~ Industrial and mercantile conditions
‘\\vro unaffected by the change
:\'.'mught in prices of securities. Steel
‘and iron mills are booking orders into
1918 and holiday trade, almost with
out exception far exceeds any pre
vious year in the country’s history. |

UNITED STATES LEADS |
At End of 1915 the Actual Life In-!
surance in Force in America was |
Over Twenty-Two Billion. |
New York, Dec. 15.—The TUnited
States, with less than a fifteenth of
the population of the earth, now has
more life insurance in force than ex
ists in all the rest of the world put to
gether, according to original statis
tics presented today at the tenth an
nual meeting of the Association of
Life Insurance Presidents. Alfred
Hurrell, associate general solicitor of
the Prudential Insurance company,
presented the figures and said: ‘
“The very magnitude of the figures
compels attention an drespect. They
not only record the results of a great
business as a business, but they sketch
with accuracy a picture of the moral
activities of our people in comforting
relief to the oft-repeated charges of
materialism and selfishness made
against them. There is in force in the
United States on residents at the ores
‘ent time over twenty billion dollai's
of legal reserve life insurance. In con
trast with this, the insurance in force
on the lives of the people of Great
Britain, Germany, France and Titaly;
Switzerlandffi Russia; Austro-Hungary
Denmark; Norway and Sweden, Japan,
Australia, New Zealand and Chile on
the last available statistics was less
than sixteen and on ehalf billions. Es
timating liberally the insurance car
ried in countries not enumerated it
is apparent that the United States
has more life insurance han is in
force elsewhere on the globe. At the
end of 1915 the actual insurance car
ried in American life insurance com
panies was twenty-two billion, seven
hundred million, but some of this is
carried ¢n citizens of foreign coun
tries. In the ten years from 1905 to
1915 the insurance in force in Amer
ican companies increased just short of
ten billions of doilars. The increase
now it at the rate of over a billion
of insurance a year.
“The per capita insurance in force
at the end of 1905 in this country was
$159, at the end of last year it was
$227. In 1905 in England it was $lO3
and at the end of 1913 it was $162.
Germany's per capita in 1905 was $43,
tn 1614 it was $6O. France only in
creased its per capita froms 19 in
1906 to $3l in 1912; Italy had $6.00 in
1902 and by 1914 this had increased to |
but $7.00 per person. So it is seen
that compared with the other princi
pal nations not only is our per capita
much higher but it had a steady an
nual increase over those countries in
the year's preceding the outbreak of
the war.”
Referring to the invested assets of
the American life insurance compa
nies now amounting to more than five
billion dollars, and to their potentia
ity in peace and in war, Mr. Hurrell
said:
