The number of depositors at the end of the year was 50,50(1, or.inelnding depositors in the Penny Bank, 71,0011. a very high proportion of (he population of the city and suburbs.

The purpose of the hank i- to encourage thrill among the industrial- classes, and how will if serves that purpose is indicated not only by the number of depositors, hut by the number whose deposits are, £2O and under. Of 71,000 depositors, 30,000 are in this class, 7,400 have between £2O and £3O, O.OOOhet ween £SO and £IOO, and 0,300 have over £IOO, The total to the credit of depositors is £1,780,400, an increase of about three-quarter- of a million in the mst ten years. The surplus profit is jiow £145,000, . . •
