EFFECTS OF THE PANIC ON SAVINGS BANKS. The following statement as to the increase or decrease, in amounts of deposits and withdrawals, for the four months ending with December 31, 1873, as compared with the corresponding months of 1872, are made from the returns of ninety-seven banks: eighteen' returns were received in addition to the above; being incomplete, they were not used. The manner of presenting the figures differed so much, that we have been unable to present the information in a consolidated form, and have divided it into three parts, the first containing the returns of fifty, the second of twenty-two, and the third of twenty-five banks. Although the results obtained are not the results of the experience of all the savings banks in the State, they are, however, indicative of the general effects of the "panic" on the entire number (169) in the State : From the Returns of Twenty-five Banks. 1873—Average decrease in deposits, September, November, December, Per cent. 24+ Per cent. 23+ |
