Total savings deposits in the United States are today two and one-half times greater than they were twelve years ago. In 1912, total savings deposits were S, ,425, ,275, 900. Today, according to off cial reports of national and state bank ing departments, as reviewed by the savings bank division of the American Bankers association, there Is on deposit the huge sum of $20, 0,S73. .452. .0O0-nearly N billions of dollars, .e4
 These figures, accurate indexes, as they are, of industry and thrift, stand as emphatic refutations of the somewhat popular conclusion that Americans are extravagant to excess. Americans do spend more freely than other longer es- tablished nationaliteis, but their earn ings are sufficiently large to permit of substantial savings. And the habit of

By EDWARD J. CONDLoN

(By Leased W1f0 bO ABVHoI 1t"
 NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Thwarting pro fessional efforts to force a reaction in prices by the heavy taking of profits, the stock market, propelled by vigorous buying on all declines, moves ahead to further high levels. The fact that the market closed with flourish had much to do with the fact that both the railroads and industrial stock aver ages showed gains of about X Of point. ... ,5a-. ,..e. /.
 The total stock sales fell far short of the two million share mark, but many of the more prominent issues showed turnovers in excess of their daily aver ages during the past week. It was evi- dent from the behavior of the market at the finish that shorts were trapped in a number of speculative issues and were forced to cover at levels close to the highs of the day. >e
 Higher Money Forecast r
 Fluctuating money rates, an imposing array of extra dividends in the days grist of financial news, and unsettled commodity markets, all had hand in the shaping of security prices Tuesday. There is some opinion in high banking circles that call money will not readily work back to the 2 per cent rate, which prevailed for long. Interior banks have pulled varying amounts away from this center in the last few days and to date not a great deal of. this money has found its way back.
 Wheat closed lower on weaker Argen- tine cables and the decline in Liverpool in sympathy. Rye fell sharply, but corn and oats finished generally higher in unsettled trading. Cotton firmed up on buying from the trade and less urgent selling in the south. Private cables re- ported a better demand from Manches- ter and from continental sources for spots.
 Treasury Issue Announced
 Of considerable interest to banking circles was the news that the Decem- Der financing by the treasury will comprise an offering at par, of about $20O, ,000, 900 per cent treasury bonds, due 1944 to 1854, with rights to allot ad- ditional bonds to the extent that the third liberty and the treasury notes of Series A of 1925, or the treasury certifi- cates of series of 1925 are exceeded.
 The bond market has been drifting steadily lower for the last fortnight, despite the climbs and leaps in stock prices. Investors are not taking hold in the bond market in the fashion which should characterize proceedings when yields are as great as they are now. Liberty bonds have enjoyed a slight firming up this week due to the increase in the money rate but this is purely temporary at this time.

thrift is growing. Since 1920, our popu- lation has increased a little over 5 per cent, while total savings have increased nearly 39 per cent. Per capita savings reveal even greater evidences of the growing inclination to save. In 1912, savings per capita were only $89. In 1906, they mounted to $108, in 1920 to s137, and today they have scared to $186.
 One notable achievement of the thrift movement has been the fact that even during periods of business depression. have climbed uninterrupted. From 1919 into the depth of postwar depression in 1921, savings increased $39 per capita In 1922, they halted to some extent in that the increase was only $1 per in- habitant. The following year, howe Nr, they increased SIS. The increase of 1924 over 1923 is $10.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Business news overnight was highly conservative.
 Commercial agencies reported Novem- Der failures lowest in four years, while reflection of improvement in petroleum industry was afforded in 1-cent advance in gas promulgated by Atlantic Refin- ing & Sinclair in Pennsylvania and Del aware. Revival in textile trade was in- dicated by resumption of operations by several mills while car loadings above one million in week ending November P, showed general merchandising &C., tivities were at high rate. In early dealings stocks still displayed traces of irregularity but several issues gave evi- dence of renewing forward movement, notably United States Realty, which was strengthened by statements that g. special dividend was to be distributed to stockholders. There was notable strength in the rails founded on the continuation of remarkable earning statements which are being announced and rumors of dividends to be declared. Although professional selling and profit taking created some reactions during the mid-session, apparently the public was reluctant to part with their hold ings on reactions but was quite willing to follow the market on upside. We can see nothing in developments that would tend to check upward movement WILL cACcpltOu OL tCupOEdAy tCShhAS6A corrections and would stick to the rails as the safest group. President Cool tdges message tomorrow Is expected to be constructive and possibly to the oc- casion for further bullish demonstra- tion.-Jno. F. Clark & Co.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-When the stock market began to drag today and large amount of speculative selling seemed in ANyi1a hnN in rise in call money and uneasiness over congress, both of which, we think, have a hollow sound.
 Everyone knows that many active traders have been watching the market carefully for days in order to discern time when 1t would be advantageous to sell for a reaction. Today's selling was companied by noticeable hesitation on the buying side, as If those who are in- terested in special stocks were drawing aside for the time being to give the market chance to prove its strength. It is quite possible that tho metal shares will be used to lead the market in an- other display of strength. Steiner, Rouse & Stroock.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-After a very ac- tive first hour during which approxi- mately nair million SnAreS WcIc auou in, most issues turned dull and slightly reactionary. A feeling of hesitation was quite apparent during the middle of the day but during the final hour better tone prevailed, especially in rails. Many of the leading rails were in increased de- mand, Erie first preferred, Wabash "A" Baltimore and Ohio making new high marks on the current move, under considerable influx of new buying. Rock Island, Missouri Pacific preferred and Reading were also among the leaders
 During the final hour the momentum on the upward side of the market began to gain headway. Otis Elevator an- nounced an extra dividend of $1.50 on the common. The balance of the news was for the most part of a routine na- ture. although optimistic in tone. Total sales, 1853, ,O00.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
