Hungary's Report of Value to
Agitation for Postal Saving-:
System in United States.
Reviewing some ot the more Import
ant features of the British banking news
as set forth In the exclusive correspond
ence to the American Banner, sw-wal
Items of considerable Interest are noted
with reference to the financial conditions
of the European countries and their prov
inces.
With other Items, the issuance of a
new hundred-franc note on the part of
the Bank of France Is chronicled. This
new note was to he first issued on Jan
uary 3. The description of the notes is I
especially interesting on account of their ;
polychromatic coloring and the marked ,
c.m'rjsi they aiford to the plain sober- I
hued complexion of the American bill’. >
On the face of the bills two female fig
ures will appear representing commerce
and agriculture and by their sld. two
naked bovs. which suggests, according it,
if. Migue Zamacois. in the "Figaro." the
fact that commerce and agriculture may
keep alive those who follow them, but
cammt ..dve to than clothing.
Another item of special interest is the
wonderful development of the British co-
Initial banking system and progress made
in Brltisn West Africa. Under the direc
tion of Sir Alfred Jouea a system of
credits and currency has been establish
ed so that trading or traveling in that
i-’iVry may be effected with ordinal;,
convenience and dispatch. At Freetown,
the capital of Sierra I.cone, a new' build
ing has been erected and a branch of
the Bank of England established with de
posits aggregating .5.00(1,000 pounds. From
tlris central hank ramifications have
been established throughout the smaller
towns, thus affording the people in ev
ery district an opportunity to the ser
vices and benefits of the institution. At
London, the success of this bank lias
been so marked it Is now proposed to
double the size of premises in Leaden
hall street to conform with Its corre
spondent in West Africa.
Just now when the matter of the
United States postal banking system is
being agitated, the success of this sys
tem in foreign countries may throw some
side light upon the working of the Issue
in our own. Ono of the countries where
the system has been established and
where the benefit seems to have been
thoroughly verified is Hungary. In this
country 7 b. sides the ‘regular depository
methods usually devised an organized
checking system has also been projected
end curried into effect with splendid re
sults.
The saving department, however, for
the year 1509 shows a wonderful increase
it, deposits us well as in the poll of de
positors. For the year 519.000.000 was de
posited throughout the country and sta
tistics show that this amount was de
posited by over 700,000 individuals, thus
making 33 people in each 1000 depositors
Moreover, this postal saving system Is
proving a profitable organization to the
government for during the year It has
earned in revenue 14,000,000.

FRIDAY,
fOIiIMS COME;
SOME ARE FROZEN
Will Be No Famine ig Ohter
; Shipments Are Uninjured by
Cold Weather.
Unless th? stoek U froten the situation •
on potatoes will be relieved today, ac- ■
cording to the bills of lading received at
the freight office of the 1. A G. N. rail- ।
road, five cars consigned to this city ha\ -
ing been turned over to them by north- |
urn shippers. It is understood, however .
that two cars loaded with tills product ,
arrhod yesterday hut the stork on ex- (
amination was fount’, tv be frozen. As
the situation stands now there i.ro no po- •
tatoes to supply the demand, and should 1
the present cars be foLnd froaen a fam- ;
ine in potatoes must ensue.
On other lines ot staph s the market I
is normally supplied. Apples, oranges. |
cranberries, lemons and celery are on
hand to meet the present trade. The i
movement on these products is fair with
unchanged quotations.
Small shipments of pineapples, grape
fruit and tangerines were received to
day to meet existing needs. The pineap
ples were of especially fine quality and
the stock was soon sold out. The demand
is also comparatively active on both tan
gerines aud grape fiuit, each of which
is selling at unchanped quotations.'
Texas tomatoes are practically ex
hausted and the market is now being
supplied frem both Mexico and Cuba.
Howe ver, It is said by the produce rnen
that a great deal of the stock from both
‘ p- lnt«s possess so much green stuff which
falls to ripen well under the Increased
could Weather.
The receipts on strawberries are small
With the colder weather, while the de
• mand i sequally light. Some few crates
i were received and are quoted at <5.
| Good green beans arc scarce, the pres
ent supply coming from Mexico. The
Texas stock of begns has been pracp
cally exhausted and lor some days past
local shipments received consisted of
practically unsalaole stuff.
Tii • stock of nuts on hand, while equal
to the small after-holiday trade, is small
j No change m quotations is noted.
Poultry and eggs remain unchanged,
I both tn receipts and quotations. Texas
eggs are hard to get at any price amt
the demand is largely met <m the Kan
sas product. Turkeys art selling well un
der a 16-cent quotation, while chickens
of all kinds are moving well it normal
prices.
