FROM report recently issued, combining

that there are now six hundred and seventy

have made statements OF their business, from
which the report is prepared. The aggregate
number of members OF these societies at the
clo-e Of the year 1866 was one hundred and
seventy three thousand four hundred aud
twenty-three. Their capital stock is generally
divided into shares of one pound each. The
business OF these associations is mostly tn At
Of selling provisions and groceries; but dry
goods and boots and shoes are sometimes
included. About one half of the whole
number OF associations are In Lancashire
and Yorkshire. Many of them have ben in
operation for twenty years. The "Rochdale
Equitable PiOneers,' established in 1s44, has
always taken the lead OF the rest, and still,
continues to do so. 1t has six thousand two
hundred and torty-s members. and a capital

OF groceries and provisions during the year
amounted to two hundred aud forty mine thou

Upon this profit the society paid to purchasers

two hundred pounds to charities, and two
