SAVINGS BANKS INTEREST.
PREDICTION THAT WITHIN FIVE YEARS
THEY WILL PAY ONLY THREE PER CENT.

PREDICTION THAT WITHIN FIVE YEARS
THEY WILL PAY ONLY THREE PER CENT.
The action of the Bowery Savings Bank in in
creasing the dividend deposits to per cent a
year instead of 3l5 per cent the rate ii has paid
for the last two years. has aroused considerable
interest among the officers of local savings banks.
William c. Sturges. president Of the Seamen's
Bank for Savings at No "a Wall-st, said yesterday
that he did not think other savings banks would
follow the example of the Bowery Bank. Mr. Stur-
ges continued:
Our bank has paid per cent for number of
years and this will be the rate of interest paid by
the bank next January. If bank is able to secure
profitable returns for its investments, 1t can pay
per cent on deposits limited to smaller amounts
than received by the banks paying S1e per
cent interest.
A prominent banker predicted yesterday that in
five years the majority of banks would be paying
per cent, because of the small interest they get
on their investments. He said that the Bowery
Savings Bank had made good deal Of money out
of the conversions of per cent Government bonds,
in which it had $20.OO0,000
President James Mcmahon of the Emigrant In
dustrial Savings Bank, at No. 81 Chambers-st., was
quoted yesterday follows:
Savings banks are supposed to declare dividend
only after they have carefully examined and ana
time of fixing the rate. If the Bowery Bank has
been so successful to be able TO pay per cent
il can do more. I think than the majority OF saw
ings banks do. There is no investment such as
savings banks are permitted by law 10 make, that
has yielded increasing returns during the last year
The returns have, rather diminished.
