Savings Deposits Steady.

Slight change since the beginning
o. the year in savings deposits in
the larger banks throughout the
country is noted by the Federal Re.
serve Board in a compilation Of sta.
tistics, detailed figures of which
were issued yesterday. On Febru
airy last savings deposits in these
institutions totaled $6,906, 449, 900, as
compared with $6,9OS, 553, 900 on
January /, 1924, and $685., OO6O, OOO
on February l, 1923. The net de.
cline during January is attributed
to the withdrawal of deposits for
investment after the crediting OF
interest at the first of the year. In
the Richmond reserve district, which
includes the District of Columbia,
ninety-one banks reported savings
deposits on February 1, 1924, Of
x2s3,O99,OO0, against $293, 193, 900 on

HEAVY DEMAND
FOR STATE
BONDS
Dealers Report Quick Sale Of
All Tax-Exempt
Securities.
By MUNROE ROBERTS.
Copyright. 1924. by Cosmopolitan


News Service.l
NEW YORK, Feb. 20. = Bond
dealers report a pressing demand
today for tax exempt securities Of
all kinds, and new issues of well
rated municipalities are quickly
snapped up in order to meet these
demands. Income tax revision, has
not deferred rich investors from
buying heavily OF municipal issues,
regardless of the taxation plan ulti-
mately adopted by Congress.
The effect Of various taxation
plans on the yield on municipal
bonds win be seen from the follow
ing comparisons, prepared by tax
experts Of the treasury department.:
Figuring the net return from a 6
per cent investment Of 500, 1000,
using the top brackets" for the
computation Of the personal income
tax, gives the following result:
surtax $685. $4,000 $3.50 asa
Mellon plan:
Normal tax sc,
surtax 25s)... $4,000 1850 Ala
Garner plan:
Normal tax So,
surtax A%). $4,000 $4,000 500
From the above list it will be
seen that a per cent municipal
bond, under the present law, gives
the rich investor 1.48 per cent more
in actual net return than per
cent Industrial or railroad bond,
fully taxable. Under the Garner
plan he would receive l per cent
more, and under the Mellon plan
about the same as on the A per cent
investment. For this reason there
is no likelihood Of an immediate de.
cline in the demand for high-grade
municipals.
Blair and Company today offered
So. 000. 900 Maxwell Motor Corpora
ton ten-year Z per cent convertible
sinking fund gold debentures, due
March /, 1884, at SO and interest,
to yield about 100 per cent. The
debentures are being offered sub.
ject to prior subscription rights
Of stockholders which expire on
March 1, 1924. The debentures will
be convertible into class A stock
Of the corporation at $75 per share.
An offering was made Of an issue
of $1,793.000 Akron, Ohio, Street
Improvement, Sewer and Public Hall
and 515 per cent bonds at prices
to yield from $50 to AIS per cent.

E. scully, his nurse wife, who to.
