The fact that fruit cars arc hauled

AS to the ACCESSIBILITY Of the sever
al classes and modes Of Investment
adopted by the banks, we shall
ADVISE when the New York banks
are specially under review.
The savings banks Of Mas sachus-
etts hold one-fourth of the national
banking capital of the State. Many
important considerations are suggest
ed bv this fact.
The shrinkage Of values in real es-
tate must be borne in mind with the
other fact that more than one1half OF
the deposits are loaned on such rea.
estate security, and the inconvertibil-
Iityin stringent times Of other kinds
OF securities In which millions are
invested by the bank will call for
observation. o
The richly deserved confidence
possessed by the savings banks of
Massachusetts Is credit to the
State, and has been chief cause OF
progress in the manufacturing cities
Forty years ago there were in the
State but $4,000 depositors, and the
rate Of deposits to each ofthe popula-
ton amounted to $5.58. Now there
are 666, 900 depositors in 175 banks,
and the deposits to each person Of
population is about twenty fold the
amount ascertainedi in 1884.
