They are invalu- able as a test of public thiritt-anc of the economies of the average household. The story/told by the banking report for the year ending June 30 is startling. According tp it the mass of. the people have ceased to save. ‘Their earnings and their ex- penditures almost balance. The gums which should be laid aside for sickness, adversity and old age have ‘Pwindled tc almost nothing. : There are in the savings banks of this State 2,740,808 open ac- founts. This is an average of more than one savings-bank deposit to every family, for there are less than two million families in this State. It fsrevident from this that the savings banks are the main custodians of the proceéds of popular economy and thrift, and that as the volume of these accounits increases or diminishes so is the measure of popular say- ings or expenditure. During the past year tnese depositors deposited 399,770,401 and withdrew $389,508,985, leaving a net balance saved i ‘pf only $10,000,000, or less than an average of $4 to each depositor. EB There has been no swelling of any other large savings fund to ac- f iG -eount for this falling off. Payments to life-insurance companies in this State have rather diminished than increased. Comparatively few house- holds have during the last year taken their savings to buy homes of their own. The reports of the building and loan associations, which are a more accurate indication of home building than the savings-bank de- posits, do not indicate any imerease in building, but rather a dimihution caused by the high price of materials. The last year has been one of so-called “prosperity.” Wages have been increased in most occupations, and not diminished in any.. Steady employment has been the case in almost every industry. ; Where has all this money gone? : The savings-bank report proves that it has not gone into the sav- tugs banks. The life-insurance companies’ reports prove that they have not received it. The building and loan association reports tell a like $ story. The Building Department’s records do not disclose any propor- ] tionate increase in small houses and homes. The only alternative is that the public have stopped saving, that they spend as fast as they receive, that their earnings are gone between one St pay-day-and.the next. While wages have increased some- what, the price of all the necessities of life has increased more, Rents are much higher. Food purchased in small retail quantities costs more. The or- ditary ready-made pair of shoes costs fifty cents or a dollar more. Luxuries have increased in price at an even more rapid rate than neces- sities. The prices on the bills of fare of restaurants have gone.up in.a-high- er ratio than the increased-cost of food. A vacation trip, holiday presents, trinkets, jewelry and the other incidentals which can be got along without have enormausty increased in Price. This would account for the increase of the rate of interest and the Wifficully of borzowers-to obtain capital.
