[ The firm recession In the natou's I saving# account Jo hank* in twenty years duriug which records in this j held have been kept by the American | Uuukera Afinociatlon was disclossil fox .la,,t In Ihe recent annual complla|tlon prepared by Its Saving Jlank Division. The shrinkage amounted to | over $195,000,000, on /the baslH of flg, ures for the year ending June 29, 1929, j whereas a year earlier the reported In , crease was over $2,300,000,000. the I largest ever .recorded. The number l of savings depositors also decreased during the year covered by more than ! &00.000 accouuts. The lure of the stock market aud affiliated activities are cited as part of the explanation for these changes. The association's statement says that Bavlngs deposits In banks and trust companies of continental United .States on June 29. 1929, stood at $28,217,656,000. The recession in savings, It declares, Indicates a fundamental change In the snvings situation. Irrespective of whether It Is temporary or not. . How Savings Used to Grow "Ih 1926 savings deposits Increased $1,562,000,000, In 1927, almost $1,400,000.000 and In 1928 over $2,300,000,000," It says. "It appears now that some Influences In ane year have taken the gain that might reasonably have been expected In savings deposits for 1929 and lowered them from the high mark of the preceding year. This recession Is not one coming ea a result .Of drouth, famine, unemployment or conditions outside of the United States. ! "A year ago it was stated: 'The year closing June 30. 1928, registered the largest gain In savings deposits in banks and trust companies of continental United States ever recorded In the history of this country.* What a difference one year makes! From a gain of more than 2% billions of dollars In savings deposits to a loss of almost 200 millions! "The loss In savings deposits Is reflected also In the loss of savings dej posltors. The year 1929 showed a to, tal of 52,664,127 depositors, against 63,188,348 for 1928, a loss of 524,221. I Industrial production was much higher last year than the preceding year. Factory payrolls were consld, erably greater. In production, employment and trade, advances were made over the preceding year. In the , farm areas the Improvement noted for 1928 did not recede In 1929 and the livestock Industry In all Its branches ! was prosperous. The Caiises of the Drop i "The causes of the recession are possibly multiple. There Is scarcely any reason to doubt that one of the Important factors draining away savings and decreasing depositors has j been the lure of profits to be made In j stocks. For a number of years the people have been regaled with stories of profits made in stocks in all types of companies. During the last few years there has been a specious philosophy preached that panics such as formerly occurred were no longer possible. "It it was the lure ef profits in stocks which caused the recession la savings, then a factor in future savings will be the success attendant upon this venture of savings depositors in stocks. If the experiment did i not prove generally successful, then another year will doubtless witness an Increase in savings deposits as well as In savings depositors."
