the mort heast at the rate OF 60 miles per
hour, and the Thermometer was 20 above
zero.
From that time the wind abated consid
erably and at q o'clock this morning was
blowing at 26 miles per hour.
Boston has not seen such severe storm
for years. Eleven inches of snow have
fallen on the level and the bowling wind
has driven IL into every crack and creylcc.
The streets are in terrible condition.
On every line the cars are blocked, and
many telephone and telegraph wires are
down.
.The railroads from the South and East
arc terribly blocked. Through trains on
the Boston and Maine, both eastern and
western divisions, arc from 80 to 45
minutes late. Those on the Fitchburg

on The Boston * Albany and Old Colony
vary from 30 minutes to an hour. Subur-
ban trains are delayed from 10 TO 20 min
utes.
All business along tho water front is at
a standstill. Many schooners are out and
fearful reports of them are looked for.
The observations of the weather bureau
show that the storm is severest along the
coast and in southern New England.
In southern Vermont only about
three inches OF snow have fallen
while at Eastport, Me-, only high wind
has touched. Reports are beginning to
come i'm OF the severity of the storm in

STATE AUDITORS REPORT.
The Annual Statement of the C0ndi-
tion of the State Banks.

The annual statement OF the State Au-
ditor of the condition of the State banks,
institutions for savings, secretaries and
treasurers of the various trust COM
panies, and treasurer of the Home Invest
ment Company, will be submitted to the
General Assembly; The standing of the
respective institutions is given at the close
of business on Thursday, Nov. 10, 1893.
Five State banks have reported in good
standing, and one, the State Bank of
Providence, in liquidation. They all de-
clared a semi-annual dividend, the aver
age rate being TIP per cent.
Thirty-five institutions for savings, four
of which are in liquidation, report in the
aggregate $50, 1853, ,724.14 in deposits, a
decrease from the previous year OF
ss53, ,26S. 43; number of depositors, 100, $40, q
decrease OF IL, ,SS2. The decrease in de-
posits and IL ,491 OF the decrease
in number of depositors may
be attributed TO- the receivers Of
the Franklin Institution for Savings,
Cranston and Union Banks declaring their
final dividends.

of the several institutions, with those Of
the year previous, the deposits of IL are
found to have decreased s1,311 ,314. %

shows an increase in deposits Of $96, ,245. IL
and decrease In number OF depositors Of
391.
The annual increase in the aggregate
amount of deposits is less by
1884, 500 than that reported in 1892,

due to the financial panic which
swept over the country during the year.

are So, or, ,097.59.
Twenty one institutions declared semi
annual and 10 annual dividends which
amounted to 81 ,554, ,292. 90, the average rate
