tons per month for the last year.
No. so, organized eighteen months ago. has recent
ly made several large loans and is regarded as very
strong organization.
Several new associations to be organized in
West Indianapolis soon and at Haughvile for the
benefit of the employees of the Insane Hospital.
Peoples. No. 2. Virginia avenue, the stockhold-
of which nearly all clerks, finds a ready sale
for it's money. 1t has been in operation two and a
half years.
The Concordan of Virginia avenue, has very little
money on hand. 1t is four years old, and the stock
holders are to great extent railroad employees, many
uf T!som have already secured homes
The National, of which Squire Feibeman is secre-
tary. has been organized fifteen months and is re-
garded one of the strongest and most prosperous
associations in the city. There has been time

Meridian street, will run out in six seven months
more. Jefferson, No. 3. has been organized a little
over year, and is in prosperous condition There
quite number of South Meridian street citizens
who took stock in jefferson No. l. and are members
of Jefferson, No. 3. This period of about
twelve years. and these persons have all secured vau
able properties with their savings.
Said secretary: II sometimes think hard times
good thing for the country. When money is
people learn to it. and that is one of the
greatest lessons Americans have to learn. Ten or
twelve years ago, when the first associations were
organized money was plenty and laboring men
didn't feel the necessity of saving it. it difficult
to get men to take stock. 1t is not so now. Money
is scarce and eveTy man who is making 81 per day
wants to save half of it. Hence the boom of tho
building and loan associations The laboring men of
indianapolis have money than they had
when times were flush because they had a disposition
to save 1t when hard times came and the building
sociations afforded them the means"

Thomas Merwine. the great buckle
berry shipper of Monroe and Pike cOun-
ties, Pennsylvania, who takes the ber-
ries that are picked on about 5000
acres of the barrens of these two coun-
ties estimates that the yield of buckle
berries of all varieties for the season
ABOUT closing, in the famous berry
regions of northern Pennsylvania and
southern New York, within a distance
of $50 miles of New York city, is not
less thar 10000 bushels. nearly half of
which are shipped TO the New York
market. Philadelphia took over p. 200
bushels, and the rest went to supply
the local demand and the markets.
Out of the grand total of buckle
berries, twenty bushels of white buckle
berries were picked. This is a rare
berry, only two localities being known
where it NAV be found. One of these
is a small spot in Sussex county, n. j..
where a few quarts are picked. This
spot is known only to NJ. c. Everett,
President of the First National Bank of
Port Jervis. it being on property
owned by him in Orange county. The
only other locality where white buckle
berries grow, and the one spot where
they are found in any quantity, is on
the East Knob, Blooming Grove town
ship, Pike county, Pa. The twenty
bushels mentioned were picked there,
and were sold for $3.50 a bushel.
These berries are a creamy white, and
very sweet. The average price OBJ
tanned by Huckleberry pickers this
season was six cents quart, making a
sum of nearly $500, 900. which was dis
tributed among them IN the region
which includes Ulster, Orange, and
Sullivan counties, in this State, and
