CUIOAGO BAVINGS DANKS, Tho following is o summary of tho fignres in {the recontly-publishod quarterly statoments.of nine of tho aavings banks of this clty, theso Leing the only ones that have published state- ments at all to show thelr condition nt tho bo- pinning of 1874, Thora is & numbor of other Bavings banks in_ theclly, but the undar.mon- tioned nino, hold at lenst four-fifths of tho ‘wholo amouut of savinga deposits in Chicago : AL PRz nIREE ER28cl i gD N §iisciine pESEE L fy igeiilE P el g l g K 2Bl § & i 1 21888 L f P TR |2 8| 338 8 gl 578 S g £l sy % EIES 3 I 2 |i 5 SR B|:mksesigs| 9 2 -3 i 588|73028 E 1 2 EEEEE R = B B 2 ES B = Py H iy g LTk f the above-mentioned nino, only six pub- ha cd slatoments at this timo lust year, aud wo hao, Lherefore, o means of making ‘an oxact comparison of the total amount of savings do- posits of this yenr with last. Butns tho stato- ments published in Jonunry, 1873, included six of tho largest banks in the above table, wo are enabled to estimato tho total amotnt of eavings doposits hold by incorporated banks and private bunlkers at somothing over £0,000,000, An osti- mato mado by we in Januayy, 1878, upon data similar to the ~ prosont, showed an aggregate of $12,000,000 of savings doposita in the city. This would indicate n do- crengo of nearly §9,000,000 of savings in Janu- ary, 1874, 08 compared with tho samo month in 1873. From tho samo dats wo estimato that tho sggregato of eavings-bauk monaey loaned on morl;%ngun of roal estato is $1,000,000 less now than it was n‘f'am— 8go. The amount of stocks and bonds hold by tho savings banks is about £1,000,000 less, and the aggregate of cash and exchango on hand is from $1.200,000 to 81,500,- 000 loss than it was & year ago, whilo the aggro- E:Ito of loanson collatoral sccurity is considerably rier now than thow, Thoso chnnges aro only such a8 might reasonably be expected as the effects of tho panic. Tho closing of manufac- tories i reflected in tho aggsogato decronse of savings dopoeits. ‘The decronso of real estato mortpages, and of stocks and bonds held by the savings banks, and the incroaso of their fonns @nde ou collaterals, indicato tho movement made by them during tho last four months to turn their nssets into & more available form, 10 meat the domands of thoir depositars, Tho savings doposits of Chicago very emall compared to thoro other city in the United Stutos. i mcarcoly an Tastern city wheio the eavings doposits nre not threo times aa great in proportion to povulation, and San Fruncisco, with Lalf as large o popula- tion as Chicagd, has just about Avo . ne much deposits in her ‘savings banks.

TAILROAD EXTENSION IN 1873, An inadverient ervor occutred in our stnto- ment of tho railroad growth of 1873 this moring (Jun. 0), in saying *‘the entiro railrond exten- gion of 1878 wns only nbonl one-sixteenth ns much a8 in 1872, and in tho Westorn States it was only about one-twentieth us much.” I should have read that the ruilrond extension of 1878 was equal to one-uixteenth increase on the total mileago of 1872, LOCAL STOCK AND DOND MARKET, Measre, Proston, Kean & Co. quoto us follows this aftornoon : aro of auy There 11y UVKILAGU DAallix VDUV LY SA L URD.
