BANK DEPOSITS.
Saving Habit Steadily Growing in the
United States.

The individual deposits OF the national
banks of the United States in July. 1901,
were S3,22S, ,000,0 The deposits III the
savings banks OF the country amounted
at the same date to 81. SO. .000. 600. or $780,
600 600 more than the whole volume of
money in actual circulation in the United
States.
The savings banks of the world con-
tain IS ,90S, ,340, 900 to the credit of 63.070,-
900 depositors. The average individual
account of the world over is $141.24. in
the United States. s40s.30.
These figures are given by B. NJ. Chat
tell of Chicago to show to what extent
the saving habit prevails among the
poorer or nonspeculative people of this
and other countries. There is now COM
paratively little said in public prints to
encourage deposits in savings bank, and
it is claimed the increased deposits in
cvery State are due not so much to inj
ducements offered by the banks as to tie
habits of the people.
Surplus earnings go into life insurance,
into homes, and into savings banks; in
the latter probably before they find their
way to the others. The very small mar
gin of the man or woman working at low
wages goes to the savings banks, and
when the deposits in these institutions
amount to within s631 .0O0, 900 OF the in
banks 1t is fair to assume that the saw
ing habit is steadily growing upon the
American people.-Chieago Inter Ocean.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Trade in Wheat Mostly Professional,
With Lower Closing.

CHICAGO, April 5.-Trade in wheat to-
day was light, and mostly all of a local
professional character. The market ruled
quiet and within a narrow range. There
was more or less buying by shorts, also
by local scalpers for rally, but the un-
dertone to the market was rather heavy
and the close was, May unchanged July
lac lower. and September &c lower than
last night. Foreign markets were weak.
Liverpool closing I'd lower for the day.
Continental markets were also weak and
lower Cash demand was rather quiet.
and seatoard reported demand there for
export rather slack. Visible supply Non
day is expected to show a decrease of
about 100000 bushels. The weather
throughout the 81 ,ng wheat belt is fav-
orable for seeding operations and through
out the winter wheat belt all that could
be desired.
Corn ruled weak and heavy all day on
liquidation by tired holders. and the mar
ket closed. May zc, July sc, and Sep
tember izc lower than last night. Foreign
markets were weak. Liverpool closed
&c lower for the day. Advices from Ar
gentina state that large purchases
have been made there for immediate
shipment to Liverpool. So prices in that
country are relatively cheaper than our
own. Country offerings were very light,
but cash demand was very quiet.
