NEW JERSEY SAYINGS.
Other Causes Ihan the IsishOps' ERw ssssDeS
increase Them.

To THE EDITOR OF THE Sun Sir. Refer
ring TO the article reprinted from the CHRIS
tidn Intetii0eHcer In THE Sun OF october IL
on the effect of the Bishops law on savings.
IL would seem conclusions reached by that
paper are erroneous. The following edlto-
rial from the Newark Advertiser OF August n
touching this same subject will. l think, clear
the air:
Since the new excise law went into operation tho
banks Of Atlantic City have increased their de
posts 20 per cent. The coincidence appears TO be
striking. But before we attribute this happy con
Onion to the operation OF cause and effect. IL would
be well TO consider several essential facts.
One is that the number of visitors to Atlantic
City during July and August has been much greater
than in any previous year. In that city OF hun
dreds Of hotels II ts now hard TO get hotel accom-
modation. The profits OF the hotel keepers,
boarding house marms, the merchants and dealers
Of all kinds have been phenomenal, and conse-
Quently the bank deposits have been largely
increased.
But fe-happens that in Atlantic City little or no
attention has beer paid 20 the requirements for
Sunday closing. and the law h practically ignored
in that respect. Nearly all Of the hotel cafes and
saloons do business.
Early in July six months dividends are due and
payable, As this year Is the most prosperous In the
history OF the country. the payments on that account
were p~henomenary large. The money received was
mostly deposited In the Interest paying banks.
Wages are also higher this year than last year,
and employment has been steady, az well as re
munerative.
Naturally the savings banks deposits have in
creased, Notwithstanding the large amount Of
money now expended out OF the state ON Sundays
and consequently Lost TO our banks Of deposit.
There can he no doubt that the same con-
ditions exist throughout other parts OF the
entire State of New jersey wherever the Law
was enforced. Immense sums OF money ID
low estimate would he $50. 900 a Sunday must
