{ 14 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, T*riff*AY. AT*fKTT. 25,1911 l). Today's NewYork Stock Market BANK DEPOSITS The following table shows the highest, lowest and close, to gether with the previous close: Stock quotations: I STOCK— xAmal. Cop j Am. Ice Sec Grand Total in This Country Fouri Am - Sut ->- Ret Am. Smelting. 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 combined and 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, every 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 not very far from twice the amount held, in Franch. * • * This stupendous sum is in urgent need of additional protection. loo many savings banks in the Empire State are hovering danaerously near the bankruptcy line. Some of tnem have not a reserve of $1 for each $.00 on deposit- Worso still, there is no law enabling the authorities to en force the correcting of this alarminr, deficiency. Nothina mo'e deplorable could be imagined than any untoward incident which would start a stam pede of the 3,000,000 savings bank de positors in this State which might spread to the 10,000,000 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 verv 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 tutiens 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 oatroas. This is a light price to pay for the removal of the very grave danger that will be 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. * * • Prevention is cheaper. Once let dis aster break out. and there might be no cure. Remember, $1,690,000,000 de posits are at stake in New York State alone, and $4,500,000,000 throughout tne country. Moreover, an upheaval among savings banks would precipi tate panic among every other class of banking institutions. * * * The great majority—nearly aH—oF our savings banks have been capably, unselfishly and patriotically managed They are philanthropic institutions. The trustee of a savings bank accepts a sacred office. His duty is not to pay unwarranted rates of interest in order to outdo a rival organization, but first, last and all the time to insure the absolute safety of every dollar entrusted to his care.

NEW VoRK, April 26.—The New Y'ork Commercial's annual cotton acre age estimate this morning, which placed 1913 at 36,465,810 acres, proved a bearish force in the cotton market. Prices, however, opened only 1 to 4 points off from last night's close. Offerings were Immediately increased. The ring han\- mered; also, W all Street, with the result of May, July and August dropping 10 points fmm the initial level. July soqn 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 >>i the opening. The report was construed as bearish when compared with the census bureau acreage estimate last year of 34,097,000 acres and 30,681,000 acres for 1911, when th* “bumper crop” was produced. The reactionary tendency was 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 hulls were inclined to withdraw, waiting for the selling move ment to pass. The decline was helped along by the absence of heavy frost, which was pre dicted for Oklahoma. Weather condi tions were favorable over the 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 u weather affair. The support is said to be from strad dles, buying here and selling in other markets. It also was said that the re port of mill takings for the week would lie 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 dow’n 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 be 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.” Demand Abroad and Heavy Buy ing From Conservative Quar ters Cause Gains. CHICAGO, April 25.—Wheat advanced as much as lc this morning on the strength shown abroad, on which there was heavy buying by shorts at Chicago The Buenos Ayres market was again higher, along with the others. North western receipts were largely in excess of a year ago. World’s shipments for Monday are expected to equal the pre vious week and to exceed the corre sponding week a year ago and a de crease on passage is looked for. Corn was 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 during the entire day, ami 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 %c off, and oats were % to Vic off. Cash sales were 75,000 bushels wheat; corn, 90,000 bushels, and oats, 90.000 bushels. Provisions were a little higher.

But do you also know that these securities have been sinking, jinking, sinking in value during re cent years? Competition for capital has been sc 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 ijonds. carrying 3. 3 1-2 or 4 per cent, have i tJ(( naturally fallen in price since they yield so much less than the ones now being offered. New York Central 3 1-2 per cent, bonds, which sold above 111, are now worth only 84. New York City's 4 per cent bonds have fallen from 103 1-2 to 92 1-2.
