INCREASE IN BUYING
BY PUBLIC is SEEN
Huge Sums Saved During Winter
Are Available for Spring
Purchases.
BY ]. C. ROYLE.

Money to purchase goods is gathering
in the reservoirs of the savings banks
lust as the water from the Winter
SHOWS and rains is being held In the
hills. Spring is likely to bring the
one rushing down the channels OF trade
while the other brings moisture to the
soil and produces power to turn the
wheels of industry.
Debts to individual accounts, which,
In plain words, means practically the
amount which was spent, has been run
ming nearly 25 per cent behind those
for 1890. These in turn were less on
the weekly average than those for 1929.
Of course, incomes have been cut down,
but wages have not suffered many re-
auctions and the drop in income has
not anywhere near equaled the drop
in expenditures. The difference has
gone into the savings banks. 1t is ready
to be spent when its owners feel the
return of confidence in the situation.
Their buying power is there.
Deposits in savings accounts increased
approximately $1,000, 100000 in 1880,
according to the National Association OF
Mutual Savings Banks. There are some
100000 savings accounts and the
grand average is $740.85 per depositor.
The growth of savings accounts has
been such that many banks have re-
duced their interest rates on savings or
thrift accounts. With money rates low
the old savings rates were higher than
the money could be loaned for by the
banks.

STORMS MAY BREAK

Business Notes

NEW YORK, February THE prog
ress of retail trade during the initial
week Of February did not show material
change from the last half of January,
reports in New York indicate. Consun-
err sales resistance continues quite
marked, with the result that most stores
are relying on the promotional appeal
of lower prices to tide over until Spring
purchasing by consumers becomes more
of a factor.
With a consistently strong demand
for some domestic sizes of anthracite
ard a variable call for others, anthra-
cite producers have had dificulty in
meeting the requirements of their mar
kets, Saward's Journal says. The heavy
demand for pea coal and the lack of
orders for egg, stove and nut sizes
present a serious difficulty to producers.
Reports that current retail sales of
china and glassware exceed expecta-
tions were brought to the New York
market this week by buyers here to
replenish present stocks and order for
future delivery. Promotional events
now in progress in retail establishments,
it was said, have been satisfactory in
both units and dollar volume.

Dollar Loans.
Nothing is heard, nor is likely to be
heard for some time, of any new for
eign long-term financing. Nations
whose applications for dollar loans have
been pigeonholed in New York have
turned to Paris. The Bank of France
has apparently sanctioned a new lend
ing policy which may soon see the be-
ginning of long-term lending by the
French banks. A few such loans,
amounting to $4,000 900, were ap-
proved during the week to some of
Frances European allies, but it was
noted that practically all of the pro-
ceeds have been contracted for expend-
1ture in France. On the other hand
the Banque de Paris ct Pays Bas has
joined an international syndicate ar
ranging a loan to Germany. This in
itself was sufficient to send German
COLLAR issues upward toward the end
Of the week.
South America continues to emit
rumors of more revolutions and strikes,
but Brazilian issues have been Arm of
late with the apparent success of the
new Rio government. Peru, which had
signified its intention to seek a mora
forum, announced that March / debt
service would be carried out.
Meanwhile the course of commodity
prices shows little tendency to turn up
ward and inevitably the full adjust
n1ent of retail prices will come. The
dollar has already increased in pur-
chasing power and will increase more.
These fundamentals combine to make
bonds desirable. Hence, Wall street
always excepting political factors, de-
faults and other unexpected influ-
ences-looks for still stronger bond
market as 1881 speeds along.

"I believe every group-banking cor

a large metropolitan bank, within the
limits Of the trade center. Let every
country bank retain its identity, its

cations, and at the same time, COM

Whether the trend of American bank
ing will, or viii not, follow in the direc-
ton which Mr.. Salmon suggests in this
article, depends largely upon what the
American people-more particularly S4e
millions Of depositors in American banks
decide to do In the next few years.
The future of American banking rests
with the people. 1t may develop along
the lines here indicated, and it may
not. American banking leaders them
selves are undecided. They have their
collective" ear to the ground. They
will not go contrary to public opinion,
but they are not agreed right now on
where it Is going. That's why the sug-
gestions of Mr.. Salmon are worth
studying over.

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT
TO SHOW REVENUE DROP

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TORONTO, February According
to Premier Benefits estimate, the
Canadian federal government will show
a decline of 100000, 900 in national
vevenue for the fiscal year ending with
March and a consequent budget deficit
of $50,000,000 This drop of approx
mately 25 per cent from the income of
the previous year occurs when expendi-
lures have increased by $12,000,000.
One factor in the decline has been
the reduction in earnings of the ma
tional railways, duel to a decrease in
car loadings.
Definite figures for the first eight
months of the fiscal year show drop
of $34, 1892, 900 in customs duties, owing
to the lower imports, a reduction Of
$16,505, 900 in excise taxes and decline
of $4,219,000 in excise duties. Income
tax, on the other hand, being based on
the more prosperous figures of 1929,
showed an increase of $2,376,000.
The increase in expenditure has been
caused partly by public works under
taken for the relief of unemployment
and by federal assumption of old age
pensions.
