Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 27.-There are
three phases in the controversy that
has arisen out of the special message
which the Governor of New York has
sent to the State Legislature demanding
that commercial banks segregate their
thrift" accounts from their other de-
posts. These phases are represented
by the interests of great body of
depositors, by those Of the banks which
take savings deposits and solicit them
by the attraction Of a fairly high rate
Of interest, and then there is the politi-
cali aspect Of the whole question.
1t is a situation that has been
smouldering for long time and has
taken an active form since the failure
of the Bank of the United States, whose
depositors were, to a large extent, people
of small means, who placed their saw
ings in this institution believing that
they were fully protected against loss.
Long before this unfortunate episode in
the banking world occurred, however,
there had been agitation for a Separa-
ton of thrift from commercial
deposit accounts. Each time that the
matter had been brought before law
making bodies it had been conveniently
pigeon -holed. Sometimes it was re-
garded as a party measure. Again
efforts to promote q bill which would
give greater protection to depositors was
killed by members Of the Legislature
who were either directors of banks or
represented them as counsel.
Would Affect Interest.
There is much to be said both In be-
half of the depositor and of the tnsti-
tuition which accepts thrift" deposits
and Jumps them with all other kinds
of deposits If law were to be passed
compelling a New York State banking
institution to Segregate its thrift" de-
posts and surround them with the
same protection that Is afforded to de-
posts Of mutual savings banks, the first
thing that would have to be done would
be to reduce the rate of interest on
these deposits. Few banks could con-
tinue the present practice In this part
Of the country Of paying from 315 per
cent to Az per cent on time deposits
If ordered by the superintendent OF
banks to invest these deposits in that
kind of security now listed as the sole
outlet for savings banks and trustees.

Net Profits Small.

NEW YORK, March ~ Especially -
Packing house companies have always
been conspicuous for their large dollar
gross earnings and the small net profit
which they have realized on their turn
over. This tendency Is present among
them this year and Is reflected in the
current weakness in the stocks of Ar
mour & Co., with the per cent pre-
ferred Of the Delaware Corporation
touching q new low this week. Some
of the retail dry goods companies in
their 1890 reports also indicate COM
paratively small net profit. One Of
them, whose statement has just been
published, showed that the cost of
goods purchased plus selling and adj
ministrative expenses consumed nearly
SO per cent Of the total sales value last
year.
