CREDITORS MONEY SAVED
 :. BY NEW YoRK's SYSTEM

New, York. Aug. 31.--The first demon stration of the saving to creditors of embarrassed banking institutions un- der the law passed by the State Legis- lature this year. which substitutes the State Banking Department for receiv- CTS, appoined by courts, Is given in the case of the Binghamton Trust Com pany, which became involved about i've months ago. In announcing today readiness to pay 50 per cent of ap- proved claims against the trust com pany, Clark Williams, State Superinten- dent of Banking, says:
 At the time the Banking Depart ment took control the Binghamton Trust Company owed to It's depositors and correspondents $3.190,5s5. The balance remaining unclaimed August 25 was $2s,6oS. During the same time the Department has collected from the assets of the company $1,56o.S1S. This work has been done at a total expense, including receivers, of $T0.626."
 Superintendent Williams quotes from 6 report to the Legislature in 1902 the statement that the cost (receivers, at- torneys and referees fees and ex- penses) of Hquidating insolvent bank ing and insurance companies for a pe- riod oc ten years, covering seventy cases, had been from 20 per cent to 30 per cent of the receipts, some of them running as high as 80 per cent or 90 per cent.

According to the report of State Examiner H. Y. Brooke. the State Convict Department has been a source of exceptional profit to the state treasury during, the last eighteen months. The report shows that. $574.- ss3.o2 Is the amount of profit accruins from the department for that period. The receipts to the state through, the convict department during the eigh- teen months from January l, 1908 to June 30, 1909 were $1,136.4SS.33.
 The receipts include convict hire, sales of farm product from the farm at Speigner's. and sales of manufac- tured products from the cotton mill and workshops at Speigner's and Wetumpka.
 The disbursements, as against the million odd in receipts were $6s5.- 215.14, leaving a net cash profit, as turned into the state treasury. of $471. 1.373.19.

While the expense of raising the state prison crop was figured in the disbursements, the money accruing from the farm products was not included in the re- ceipts.
