Today's NewYork Stock Market 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.

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. L. and N. . Mo. Pacific. . N. Y.

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. RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURES.

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.
