B.. & L.
tons, Mr.. Simmerman says
Reports have been received from an
except two local ASSOCIATIONS. But IN
several instances the secretaries OF THESE
associations nave exhipited a DECIDED l ! aus IS
inclination to furnish their staIemenls 10
the bureau, and a considerable propor-
ton of the returns We're not Verlfled.
Generally, however, our assoclauon oH-
eials willingly report al the requires
information, Notwithstanding no extra
work: These data, summarized ana IN
detail for 1893, show the increased pros
perity of this successful cooperative
movement, although the rate or increase
for well known causes has not been as
great as that OF the years Immediately
preceding. The 297 associations known
to have been in active operation in the
fall of 1898 had 93,SS9 s~hareholders, own
ing 34,163 shares, valued at $33, S36, 4SI.
