Postal SAVINGS Banks.

Washington.-On January 81, 1912,
there were AZ postal savings deposi.
tories in operation in Maryland, with
deposits amounting to over $4,000.
This amount was deposited by about
700 depositors, or an average of nearly
$50 per depositor. Since the opening
of postal savings repositories in Mary.
land there have been approximately
$50 accounts opened and more than
2,100 deposits made, or an average of
almost three deposits to each deposi
tor, and about 500 Withdrawals, or an
average of less than one to each de
positor. Comparing the number Of
depositors and the amount on deposit
with other states Maryland ranks thir-
ty-seventh in number of accounts re-
naming open January 31st and forty
third in total amount remaining on de-
post, showing that, as compared with
other States, the average amount to
the credit of each depositor is much
lower in Maryland than is the average
amount for the United States.

THE TRADESMAN'S
 WEEKLY REVIEW
Conditions in Iron Market In South
 More Active, and Better Feeling.

Chattanooga. Tenn, Jan. 1.-The close of the year. according to this weeks issue of The Tradesman finds conditions in the iron market in the South more active and with better feeling than has existed for some time" Commencing further on this The Tradesman says.
 The difference between the start ing of 1912 and 1911 Is that year ago the demand was on the decline, but the price around s11 per ton, sees the price around s10 per ton, No ? foundry, while the start of 1912 mand on the increase and plenty ot business on the books already. That the 1912 condition is the more en- couraeing is the opinion of some of the best posted iron masters. There is flo doubt but that several Of the inquiries in hand for pig iron for future delivery will result in the trades being c0nsummated. The cast ion pipe interests have pur- chased literally, but it is believed that all their needs have not yet been secured. F'oundries' and ma chine shops are soon to take on re- newed life, while reports are cur rent that railroads are looking to much pig iron instead of steel, some observations having been made in that direction"
 Among the more important Of the new industries organized for Arkan- sas ending today as reported by The Tradesman are the following
