POSTAL BANKS POPULAR.
England to Reduce Interest Rate Because
of the Growth OF DepOsits.

of the Growth OF Deposits.
LONDON, Nov. 3.-The English gov
eminent has been moved by the phe
nomenal increase in the deposits at the
post Office savings banks, which show
growth this year of some 10000, 900
over the preceding II months, to de-
eide upon the lowering of the rate of
interest which, it is to be feared, will
have tendency to discourage thrift
among the poor, for whose benefit
these banks were esta blished. The
authorities do not ascribe the astound-
ing increase in the number of deposits
to any corresponding growth of pros
perity, but to the fact that well-to-do
and even rich people are now using the
savings banks for the purpose of OBJ
tanning for their deposits a rate of in
terest, which, in the existing condition
of the money market, they could not
possibly get at any ordinary bank.
