Sav ings deposits in North Carolina banks and trust companies increased more than 14,400,000 last year, and more than 77,800 additional savings); ac counts were added to the 1920 total. These figures are from a statement just made public by the Government Sayings Organization" of 4 the .Fifth Federal Reserve District to show the development of the general savings movement and to emphasize the prog ress which has been made in checking! the tendency towards unwise spepd- i n v .mJ was. a ' ' j' 'A'.i . In " North Carolina1 there are ; B?9 banks of which 416 replied to the questionnaire sent out by the Gov-; ernment Ravings Organization ef this district. Among this number are most of the larger banks, the, report ing institutions representing proba- oiy more than u per cent of the banking resources of the state! Their figures which sre for January 1, 1920 and January 1, 1921,' show that last ! year their savings deposits increased from $73,59,3,427.27, to $78,011,899- 33 a gain of more than $4,400,000 The number of savings accounts In North Carolina increased during the same period from 245,520 to 323,849. Total deposits for 1921 were listed as $239,500,117.62. . : -m r; :., The more than $78,000,000 la sav ings deposits does not by any means represent the total savings , of the state, ' he statement shows, since many hundreds of thousands of 'dol lars were saved and safely invested in government savings stamps ' and certificates. Liberty Bonds and oth er standard securities. ," , The Urge sum of money In the savings deposits of North -Carolina banks is regarded as strong evidence of the progress of the general savings movement in this state. The savings idea is one of the principles to which the wsr gave strong impetus, and many persons learned to save for the first time In their lives, the records show, When they. subscribed for Lib erty Bonds, paying for them out of their current savings. The bonds bought represented, when -paid for, millions of dollars saved. That the savings .movement is mak ing forward strides throughout the whole of the Fifth Federal Resrve District (Maryland, the District of Columbia, the two Virginias, and the two Carolines) is shown by the fact that last year the aavings deposits in 1685 reporting banks and trust com panies out of 2260 Increased more than $65,000,000, while the number of individual savings accounts ad vanced from 1,887,741 to 1.314,427 n Increase of 416,686. k This means that there are now in this dis trict something like 400,000 more severs oa the books, of the banks than last year. Total 1921 deposits la the 1685 reporting banks were given as $2,08385,390, of which more than $805400,000 represented savings de- Besides ths money saved sua de posited la banks and that invested in Government savings securities, the records shew that more than one bil lion dollars wss Invested by the peo ple of ths Fifth Federal Reserve Dis trict la the five laeues of Liberty Bonds, the per capita, that is ths sv rare total amount subscribed 1 ev err person in . men, women and children oeing $113.33 this sum of course represent- lag savings la addition to other moa ey invested or deposited Jn basks It Is to be taken Into account, hewer er, that many Individuals and others purchasers of government bonds have not ret fully paid for them aae: tne banks ars sow carrying these securi ties.
