CITY REGISTRAR Frazers health sta
tistics for last week show an improved
condition of health when compared with
the corresponding week Of August last
year. The entire number of deaths is
only 81, last year it was q. The pleas
ant healthy weather is to be credited
for this change. Last year it was hot
sultry, dry and dusty, and ponds OF
stagnant water existed all over the city
This year the weather has been bracing-
" pleasant and cool and the numerous
showers we have had washed the street
and cutters clear of filth and dirt. This
shows the cleansing effects of water
discreetly used, and no water could be
put to IA better use than that which the
city should use at least once week
when the weather is hot in washing
down cutters and alleys. The death
rate to- week has been only one in
every two thousand four hundred in
habitants, and tifty-two,or less than two
per cent. year on population of fifty
thousand.

SAVINGS Han KS.

The New York Herald sounds the
alarm of new financial danger that
threatens New York, and which will in
time exert a like influence in other
cities. This time it sees danger in the
system of large deposits in savings
banks. In that State the deposits have
reached an aggregate of over four hun.
bred million of dollars, which is credit.
able, but the danger lies in the tenden.
cy of depositors to put their money in a
half dozen or so of banks. II
instances six banks of that city and
Brooklyn that have over two million
dollars of deposits, and argues that a
handful of men have the absolute hand.
ling and disposition of this vast amount
of money, which it argues should never
he permitted to rest with such limited
nun Der of men. The Herald very rea-
sonably argues that the election Of a
savings bank director is not subject to
the vote of those interested in the insti-
tuition, as is the case in business banks
where he is elected by the stockholders,
nor are his actions open to the scrutiny
of those whose money he handles. Even
the records of the banks are not open to
the inspection Of the depositors.
Once year the Herald says trans
cript OF the ledger totals as made up by
the bank officer is published, but be-
yond this meagre information the
contents of the book accounts are sealed
volumes to those whose money should
be honestly accounted for. The natural
result of this state of affairs is to pre-
sent a strong temptation to speculative
men bent on using the bank s enormous
accommodations for their own individual
purposes and enefts. The way to
lessen the threatened danger, the Herald
says is to distribute the deposits among
a number of institutions, SO that the
capture and possession of any one will
cease to be rich prize. Another plan
is to limit by law the total amount OF
deposits which any bank shall hold, and
compel those now in excess of thatjsum
to gradually reduce their holdings
until that safe average is reached.

BUSINESS.

New YORK, Sept lin the weekly
report of r. G. Dun & Co.'S Agency it
SAYS That the business of the country
is flowing with pretty free tide through
its accustomed channels, is indicated by
the steadiness with which the figures
showing the bank exchange at the chief
centres are maintained, with depression
in several prominent branches of trade
and only moderate activity in most de
bartmen.s of trade 1t is rather surpris-
ING than otherwise that these figures do
not show marked decline. The trade OF
the week has presented no new features
in dry goods. There is a moderate
activity though prices are very low in
consequence of over productions. Grain,
provisions, cotton and petroleum have all
declined more or less, but reductions il
values on the whole have not been large
The stock market has continued weak and
dull, the expected activity after the recent
collapse, having been postponed, though
there is reported to be steady buying fol
investment of good securities, that are
now very cheap. In speculative circle!
activity has been wanting, but so far al
legitimate trade is concerned the outlook
continues to be encouraging.
