Grand Total in This Country Four
and One-half Billions—$45
for Each Person.
By B. C FORBES
The United States has more sav
ings bank deposits than any other
country in the world. It has four times
as much as France, as much as
France and Germany combin'd anC1
not far from half as much as all
other countries combined. Its grand
total is $4,500.000.000—four and a half
billions of dollars. The average to
each depositor is $445. If the total
were distributed, everv man. woman
and child in the Union would get fully
$45.
I shall not set forth the facts of
the savings bank situation in New
York State. The conditions will be
found, on close examination, to apply
in some particular to nearly every
State in the Union.
New York State alone has savings
bank deposits of $1,690,000,000. This
is half as much again as the whole
of the United Kingdom and is notj| n t. Harvester 103 7 a

spread to the 10.CUO.000 depositors
scattered throughout the Union.
All danger can be averted by prod
ding Albany Legislators into passing
a bill now before them “to amend the
banking law, in relation to the crea
tion of a reserve fund for savings
banks." Voters should let their State
Representatives know very emphat
ically that no shilly-shallying with
this vitally important and necessary
measure will be tolerated. The need
for action WITHOUT DELAY is im
perative, but opposition is being en
gineered by certain politicians who
put their pockets before patriotism.
The proposed law is not revolu
tionary. It will upset nothing. It
will not stop the payment of a single
savings bank dividend. A few instie
tutior.s which have no business to be
paying more than 3 1-2 per cent
would be obliged to keep to that rate
until thev had built up a reserve
offering reasonable protection to its
oatrons. This is a light price to pay
for the removal of the very grave
danger that will he engendered by the
defeat of the bill. At present the
State Banking Department is abso
lutely powerless. Its hands are tied.
It cannot lift a finger until a bank’s
solvency has been 'impaired! It can
not lock the stable door until the
horse has been stolen.

NEW YORK, April 26.—The New
York Commercial’s annual cotton acre-
hk** estimate this morning, which placed
1913 at 36,456,810 acres, proved a bearish
force in the cotton market. Prices,
however, opened only 1 to 1 points off
from last night's close. Offerings were
immediately increased. The ring ham
mered; also, Wall Street, with the result
of May, July and August dropping 10
points from the initiul level. July soon
increased its decline to 11 points. Later
positions, especially October and De
cember. received fairly good support
from the large spot houses, and their
recessions were held within a few points
of the opening.
The report was construed as bearish
when compared with the census bureau
acreage estimate last year of 34,097,000
acres and 36,681,000 acres f01* 1911, when
the “bumper crop*’ was produced.
The reactionary tendency wus sus
tained throughout the morning session
and prices were kept at the early low
level.
The market was friendless during the
late forenoon, with the exception of
scattered buying by commission houses.
There was no evidence of any special
support. The Dulls were inclined to
withdraw, waiting for the selling move-
menl to pass.
The decline was helped along by the
absence of heavy frost, which was pre-
cted for Oklahoma. Weather condi
tions were favorable over tlie belt.
Many are inclined to the belief that
the market should have a good reaction,
but it Is not expected until after May
is out of the way. The market is en
tirely a weather affair.
The support is said to De from strad-
lles, buying here and sailing in other
markets. It also was said that the re
port of mill takings for the week would
be of an unfavorable character. This
brought scattered short covering, but
prices failed to bulge to any great ex
tent. May was steadied around 11.37;
July. 11.44; August, 11.30; October, 11.16
and December. 11.18.
At the close the market was steady
with prices showing a net decline of 9
to 17 points from the final quotations of
Thursday.

II is rumored about 1,200 notices arc
our against May. Several of them were
stopped.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says. “The fear of frost in Texas re
strained sellers of new crop deliveries
and a lingering suspicion that tenderable
cotton may be in demand in May helped
the old crop positions. Nevertheless,
many people, deep down in their hearts,
believe the new crop is making much
better progress than last year and that
trade support of May will not develop
anything bordering on abnormal
strength.
“New York has begun to discover rea
sons why less cotton than once expected
will bo taken on May contracts and New’
Orleans, while still confident some cot
ton will be taken up, has begun to dis
cuss the probable volume of such trans
actions in a greatly modified way.
However, on this score, history, not
prophecy, will keep the record straight
vtous week and to exceed the corre
sponding week a year ago and a de
crease on passage is looked for.
Corn wus a weather affair and was
up %c to %c, with shorts the buyers.
Argentine weather is favorable and Liv
erpool was a fraction lower. Argen
tine shipments were larger than com
parative periods.
oats were a shade better with corn.
Provisions were higher with hogs at
the yards.
The fact that May wheat was under
selling pressure <luring the entire day,
and that the matter of price failed to
call a halt on the selling, was the real
factor as well as feature of the day. It
was the weakening help of the session,
and as the May future came out of
the hands of longs in tots to suit, the
shorts absorbed it in a goodly fashion,
but at times they were seen to back
away from it.
The fact that there is nearly 2,000.000
bushels of wheat here and to arrive
from Duluth drove many holders of the
May out of the grain. Wheat closed %
to %c better. Corn was unchanged to
* to %e off, and oats were % to %c off.
Cash sales were 75,000 bushels wheat;
corn, 90,000 bushels, and oats, 90.000
bushels.
Provisions were a little higher.

The savings banks. However, have j
been victims of circumstances. You
to the very finest securities in the
land. But do you also know that
these securities have been sinking,
sinking, sinking in value during re
cent years? Competition for capital
has been so keen throughout the
world that borrowers—Governments,
States, municipalities, railroads, pub
lic utility companies, industrial cor
porations. mercantile firms and indi
viduals—have raised interest rates to
such heights that the older bonds, j
carrying 3. 3 1-2 or 4 per cent, have j
naturally fallen in price since they !
yield so much less than the ones now t
being offered.
