Feb. 6. —(^)—Saving mon ey is a habit among New Englanders. It is a habit formed by necessity, which accounts, ill a large measure, for t'.ie fact that this section, despite its lack of natural resources in the way of ores or fertile soil for agri culture, leads the nation in the aver age savings bank deposits per per son. Seven per cent, of the country’s population, lives in the six states and in their savings banks are 16 per cent, of the total deposits. Fifteen per cent, of the total number of de positors live here. The need of the New Englander to save was with him from the time the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, said Joseph H. Solitlay, president of the Savings Bank Association of Massachusetts. The climate of the Plymouth colony was such that the Mayflower's passengers here immedi ately faced with the fact that they had to make provision for the winter if they were to exist. The very na ture of tfie situation demanded that they save. “From this need eame the habit,” rontinued Mr. Soliday. “I know of hundreds of’ eases where persons liv ing the simple lives of their neighbors have left estates of $250,000 or more. Tn your New Englander the thrift habit is ingrained. Willbim A. Gas ton, a Boston millionaire banker, for years maintained Bhe aeeount 'and pass book iiis father bequeathed him. It is a custom of long standing to open a trust savings account for each child at birth. The pass book, at the child’s coming of age. is an im pressive object lesson in thrift.” And, Mr. Soliday pointed ont. the saving habit is no less fixed in the I foreign born who have come to New England. In addition (o the fundamental and natural causes for saving, the habit has been made attractive in New Eng land. It was in 1816 tfiat the Mu tual Savings Batik plan was lauched in Boston and Ph'ladelphia simul taneously. In Boston a group of j citizens met- in a coffee house and j formed the Provident Institution for 1 Savings in the town of Boston. Some $80,000,000 are now on deposit in that bank. The limit of an indi , vidual's deposits was set at SSOO be cause “the object of the institution is to aid the poorer and middling Wasses ‘of society.” Seamen and , soldiers were advised to deposit their I prize money, it was the dayu of pri | vateers, and the bank was suggested j for the use of “a young man intend j ing to marry at a future day, and young women who may . expect to I'.iange their condition.” As New England became increas ingly industrial the mutual banks kept ! pace. They are siill a benevolence. There are no stockholders and the trustees serve without pay. The profits, with the cost of operation de ducted. are returned to the depositors in dividends. They also have had the effect of obtaining a higher ijgte of interest to depositors in commer cial banks. The average rate .in Massachusetts is more than 4 1-2 per cent., as against the 2 1-2 to 3 1-2 paid where commercial banks have the field to themselves. “City life, as we” as Industrial conditions, make for larger savings.” said Mr. Soliday. “People living in cities are in a more rapid procession. They save to educate their children or to improve their homes so as to keep up with the others. There is more class distinction than in the country and therefore more competi tion.” Mr. Soliday cited figures of the American Bankers' Association which showed that on June 30, 1925. New England led the country with $473, deposited in savings banks per capita. Past Week Dull Period in New Or leans Cotton. New Orleans. Feb. 7. —The cotton market lias been more dull during the past week than daring any like period in a long while. This lack of trade has been due to the absence of any speculative interest from the market owing to the praoticnliy im movable character of the near posi tions. the slack spot demand and the sharp falling off in exports. Statis tics have been against the market particularly the large stock at ports and in the interior but there has been little incentive to eell the mar ket short because of the conditions prevailing in the options of the March and May. That the position of shorts in the near months j« uncomfortable is evident ns the long interest in those months is in strong hands and the small certificated stock precludes the idea of any extensive liquidation of contracts by actual deliveries. There is little .prospect of increasing cer tificated stocks as a considerable part of the unmarketed cotton ia of lower grade than can be tendered on contracts and there te no induce ment to tender high grades, par ticularly stables, owing to the premiums such cotton command in the spot market* While pricea moved but little in the early days of the week, they im proved later on the coverings of March and May, shorts. Mnrcn on Friday advancing to 19.90 or 28 points above the dose of the pre vious Saturday and May trading np to 1935 or 31 points up. Some of this gain was lost in the final trad ing, but the undertone remained comparatively firm and the elo«.» or. Saturday showed a net gain for the week of 10 points on March and 14 on May.. There would seem to be little prospects of any material change in the situation until March and May commitments are liquidated Or the developments conected with the inception of the new crop season warrant a change in the exist!** conditions.

Weekly Cotton Summary. New York. Feb. s.—After re maining comparatively quiet during the early part of the week the cotton market became more active with prices advancing on an increased demand fol- near months. This was attributed largely to covering by March or May shorts, however, and after selling up to 20.50 for March 40.92 for May the market showed renewed narrowness. It looks as if he more urgent demand for the months had been supplied on the ad vance and when the buying tape ns’ >ff. price- reacted under realizing oi re-selling by earlier buyers. Buyert were probably disappointed by the failure of the advance to bring in a more general demand. The offering> were comparatively light, however, and there was enough buying on the' dips to give the market a fairly steady undertone toward the end of the week. The near month covering movement, as it was most generally referred to. was attributed to the near approach of March contract j maturity, combined with the recent j steadiness of both spots and futures j in spite of a comparatively small | business. The feeling api>eßred to be j that a higher price might be found i necessary to attract teuderable cot ton here from the south for delivery next month, but at the advance trade interests seemed willing to sell March quite freely against purchases of May at a difference of 58 [mints. This supplied the demand for March, apparently, and after the covering of May shorts hail run its course there seemed little demand aside trom some scale down buying to fix prices for the trade in the near moths and HOLLYWOOD TOURS j i Are Leaving Concord Every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday |i| ||x $57.50 Covers All Expenses of a Week’s Tour G.

Relatively steady Liverpool ca bles accompanied by reports that con tinent was buying spot cotton out of the Liverpool stock and z>f. a well maintained demand for cotton goods in Manchester, naturally ’helped the tone of the market here. Some sell ing was reported on the advance, however, which was supposed to be based on the falling off in exports since the first of the year and ex pectations of increased spot offerings in the south with the advanee of the new planting season. Recent arrivals at New York have included a few small lots of consigned cotton, but the certificated here has been re duced to about 42,000 bales.
