Deposits in New York savings
banks increased $50, 900, 900 during
the past twelve months, the largest
previous increase having been s1l,.
000, 900, in 1899. OF the whole in
crease $52, 900, 900 occurred in the past
six months, showing how exception
ally prosperous the current year has
been thus far. Nearly one-half Of
the increase in deposits was the i'll
terest credited The number of open
accounts is little more and half
millions. The Massachusetts savings
banks have also issued IL very favor
able statement of their operations for
the past year, but in that state also IA
very large part in the increase OF
money due the depositors is the in
terest credited to them. Even in the
most prosperous seasons the actual
amount of money added by the av-

mously to the resources of the people
of small means.

per cent. better in Kansas, II per
cent. better in Missouri.
In Nebraska, Indiana and Ohio the
condition is not quite so good as last
year but in the country as whole the
condition is better by one per cent.
than in 1904, and by per cent. than
