While times are admittedly hard and one hears frequent prophecies of worse to come the experience of the Dunedin Savings Bank for the seven months from April Ist to October 31st shows that depositors are not suffering as severely as might be expected, and that borrowers are meeting their obligations promptly (says tho "Otago Daily Times"). Sir James Quaile, tho manager of the bank, informed a reporter that during the P ej '" iod mentioned 2879 new accounts pad been opened, and that, although withdrawals had been fairly heavy, deposits had exceeded them to a considerable extent. In spite of all one heard of depression, borrowers had made their payments with the greatest promptitude, and the amount of arrears was negligible.
