FRENCH SAVINGS Savings banks were
established in France in 1885, and have
no. made much progress, in comparison
with the growth OF savings banks in
Great Britain or the United States. In
1869 only SO in 1000 Of the population
were depositors ; in 1876, the proportion
had increased to 65 in 1000. The total
amour. in the savings banks at the close
Of 1875 was sls2,Os5,OOO. The average
deposit was, in 1859, s. 70; in 1873, 1t
was 50 So; and in 1876, So G5. Most Of
the depositors are inhabitants OF the
manufacturing districts or large cities.
The peasant proprietOrs prefer Govern
ment. bonds to savings banks.
