It i, the opinion Of the Machss Union, whose
editor is an officer of savings bank, that pru-
IDENTIFY conducted savings banks, owing to present
high market rates of best class of securities arc
not snx ious to receive deposits. General dull

difficulties in securing safe investments at the
the present time.
