The demand for the lb.—The blithe
is still confined
to present wants, and holders obtain no advance of mo-
ment. Coffee has been dull. Tea is rather better.
Sugar steady, and Coffee firm. Yesterday there wa-,
more buoyancy at the close, owing to the reduction in
the Bauk rate of discourr ; and the same feature is ob-
servable this morning, although the business done has
not materially increased.
An interesting and very elaborate statement has been
prepared tor Parliament as to the business and the ex-
penses of the various Savings' Banks in the United
Kingdom, and by inspection of the various items, we
arrive at many results which are of importance in form-
ing an estimate of the well-doing the population, and
the pr.gre,a of the system. Eoglend has a population
of 17,609 058 persona. and its annual number of receipts
from depositors is 1,055 0851., while its payments are
491,0291. The amounts withdrawn singly are 14/. 28.,71d.,
against 51. 17s. 24., taking the average of the year; but
this is quite natural, inasmuch as parties save until they
have a sum at command sufficient for the accomplish-
ment of a desired purpose. The average receipts in
Scotland are 31. 18s. from each depositor, and the
withdrawals 6/ 9s. 41 The Irish receipts are 81. 15s.
100., and the withdrawals only 81 6s- Bid. This
shows, apparently, that savings' banks are adopted
in Ireland as places of security, where perhaps
ether banks would serve here, and the ea'y classes there
are more extensive depositors. The number of annuities
granted during the year to November, 1850, was 7,949,
of 134,41.31. 6s. 6d. The average cost of inanagern-mt,
taking the capital of each bank, is in the United King-
dom Bs. 3fi. per cent., the Irish banks being most ex-
pensively conducted, and the English the cheapest.
