From the Chicago Record,
The wystem of postnl savings banks
In operation In France Is known as tho
C.tlsso NntlonaJe d'Epargne. (Lletral
ly. "Case, or box, national ot savings.")
It Is constituted mainly under the laws
passed in 1SR1, with a few Important
changes In 1SD5. The system Is made
to extend over all of France, Corsica,
Algeria, Tunis nnd Boyrout and In tho
principality of Monaco. Its branches
are ns numerous as there are oflices In
the postal and telegraph systems of
France. The system of postal savings
banks hni been found to be a great suc
cess. The government stands ns nbso
lui guarantor to the depositor against
los, and the result of the workings of
the Calse Nntlonale d'Eparnne Is that
there are nn savings bank failures.
Every postofllcc under the manage
ment of the French government Is a
savings bank. At each postolllce may
be found n receiver either to handle
that part of tho business especially or
in connection with the regular postal
work, according to, the importance of
the oPU" and thW receiver Is directed
and authorized by tho department to
accept the moneys of depositors nnd
conduct the operations as do tho cor
responding ofllclals In ordinary savings
Institutions.
There aro in all about 8,000 oflices at
which savings may be deposited under
the protection of the French govern
ment. In the provincial districts all
the savings business Is transacted im
mediately In connection with the postal
buriness. but In Pari3 and In the other
large cltlei of France the savings de
partment is so Important that separa
ute headquarters are a necessity.
The method is simple. Any person
may become a depositor. This admits
children of any age whatsoever, thus
assisting the ol!-d"slred development o
the savings idea at the earliest age. In
the matter of reimbursements the only
restriction comes in the requirement
that minors must be 16 years old or
ovr In order to be permitted to with
draw without the authority of their
legal representatives. Interest Is paid
on deposits at the rate of S'fc per cent.
This interest starts from the first or
the sixteenth of the month after the
dav of deposit. It ceases to operate
from the first or the sixteenth which
precedes the day of withdrawal. On
December SI of each year the Interest
which has accumulated is added to the
principal and becomes itself productive
of Interest.
The amount to which the deposit of
any one person may attain during any
one year Is 1,500 francs (about $300).
Under the old law the maximum was
2,000 francs, but In 1805 this was re
duced to 1,500. The reason for the re
duction was that the government
thought best to reduce its responsibili
ty, the total amount of deposits hav
ing become so large that in case of a
great disturbance or panic the demand
for reimbursements might suddenly
become very sreat. In case o a rush
or "run on tho bank" the government
reserves the right by law to limit the
Individual withdrawals to 50 francs
each llftecn days. This Is expected to
act as a sul'lclent safeguard against
depletion of the fund In too short a
time.
Then comes the question of the fur
ther investment of the funds after the
depositor has reached the maximum.
When this maximum Is reached the de
positor receives notice from headquar
ters to that effect, and his instructions
are awaited in respect to whether he
wishes simply to withdraw the money
or prefers to reinvest in governmentse-
curltles. If the latter Is his choice the
business is transacted for him and he
is provided with an equivalent amount
in French rentes, the securities which
correspond to government bonds in tho
United States. These securities pay 3
per cent Interest. Their purchase by
the Calsss d'Epargne for the customer
(late depositor) is gratuitous, no fee
whatever being attached to the tran
saction. These French rentes are in
20-francs ($4) issues, and at the present
time range in value on tho bourse from
101 to 105.
A late statf ment of operations by tho
French system of postal savings banks
from Jan. 1, 1S82. to Dec. 31, 189C, Is as
follows; Number of depositors, 26,049,
E3R; amount of deposits, 3,464.672,171
fmncs; number of withdrawals, 10.5S7,
503; amount of withdrawals, 2,757,270,
687 francs, amount of purchases of
government securities, 70.9S1.341 francs;
excess ot deposits over withdrawals and
purchases of government securities,
6?6,420,143 francs; amount of Interest
accrued to depositors. 148,592,599 francs.
The situation up to Deo. 31, 1896, was:
Number of deposlors, 2,6S6,730; propr
ty of depositors, 781,950,207 francs. The
number of depositors on July 31, 1897,
was 2.823,226.

THE MARKETS.
Wnll Stroot Review
New York, Oct, 7. Tho sum and sub
stance of todays market may bo com
prised In "Chicago Gas." Tho announce
ment that tho companies outeldo tho con
solidation had been sold to a syndlcato
teprescnttng intcicsts powerful in gas In
many other largo cities caused a slump
at tho opening of over thrco points.
Largo blocks wcro sold short with tho
design of effecting u sympathctlo decllno
in tho general market. This was only
partly successful, and beforo tho termi
nation of tho tlrst hour, tho shorts wcro
covering hnstlly, and prices of mnny
stocks roso a point or over. Tho markot
declined again, however, under renewol
pressuro on Chicago Gas, and for tho
balance of tho day fell Into a condi
tion of almost total apathy. Total sale
wcro 310,000 shares.

A Ni:i2D12 INVENTION.
A I'lnn to Show II n 1'npcr Hns Ilcon
Hold nnd Itcnd or Not.
There Is a comfortable fortune In
store for the man who wilt perfect a
good, Inexpensive nnd rapid plan for
showing whether a paper op inngnaino
haa been sold and read or not. Tho
margin of profit on the sale of any sin
gle copy of a newspaper Is so small In
most eases that the publisher nllowa
the retail dealers the privilege of re
turning a certain percentago of unsold
copies, so that tho dealer may be saved
from loss. This return privilege is con
ceded by most, If not all, tho maga
zines, h'omo dishonest people make a.
business ot gathering ud all tho old
copies of paporn and magazines they
can put their hands on, and returning
such as bear no marks of rough usago
to tho publisher. Tho dealer thus
makes a double profit.
A patent was taken out in 189." for a
machine which threaded 11 light tape
or ribbon through each paper. This
the reader must remove before ho can
reud his paper, and Its absence In the
returns of unsold copies can bo detect
ed at a glance. The Idea Is good, but
the appliance does not seem to have
been taken tip with much enthuslusm.
Thero Is a feeling that a better devlco
will have to be deslgnd beforo tho pub
lishers will bo able to defy the cheats.
For newspaper offlcos It must bo some
thing which can bo applied to a print
ing press, so thnt tho papers will come
out ready for sale. In magazine oflices
tho attachment could be npplled after
tho magazine Is printed and bound.
