Small Working Capital.

The most remarkable fact which has
developed with regard 20 these banks Is
that Of the working capital which they
US. 20 finance the farmers and members
SIS per cent is furnished by the farmers
themselves or by the local depositing
public. Another remarkable fact is that
these banks in Germany do their business
with capital which amounts 70 only
IS per cent Of their total funds. saw
ings deposits form the great bulk OF their
working capital These are accepted from
members and nOn-members alike. De
posi,s on current accounts. however, are
accepted from members only.
Generally only one person is sal
AIRED employe--the secretary. who does
the actual executive work. The basis OF
management for the banks is the general
meeting OF the members. At these meet
ings there are selected council or SUI
pcrvislon and committee ~ manage
ment. The meeting. the council and the
committee take care Of all the admins
trativc work This gives the banks
very economical administration In 1909
tho average cost Of management in Ger
many was about $153 IT,.
The banks finance the farmers through
two sorts Of loans-loans on current ac-
count and loans for fixed periods. The
loans on current account form about a
third OF the total OF loans, and there Is
al this time a strong tendency 10 eX-
tend the practice OF loans on current ac-
count. as this is the most convenient
form for the borrowing members and is
similar TO the loans OF banks In cities 20
mercantile houses. Security IS given for
the loans in the form OF mortgages, by the
deposit OF stock or other security, by find
Ing securities. or sometimes. by mere prom
Use. Money not employed In loans is used
for deposit with tho central cooperative
banks or in general banking operations
with third parties
The Raiffeisen banks were not organ
lied FOR profit. and consequently none Of
the prohts is distributed In the form or
dividends. Some OF the money Is eXpend-
ed in the furthcrance OF public utility
nroiects. but for the most part the profits
arc carried over into the reserve funds,
and the exceeding prosperity of the banks
in past years. with the profits constantly
swelling the reserve funds, is making the
Raiffeisen banks a strong financial power
at the back Of the German farmer.
