Table i. — Situation of French Savings Banks from igoi to 1912, 



(i) For 1912, we have only data relat ng to the postal banks. The last report of the 

 ordinary savings banks, presented on July loth , 1913, by the Department of Labour to the 

 President of the Republic, shows their working up to December isst., 1911. 



Notwithstanding that the ordinary' banks have fewer offices open to 

 the public, they have a larger number of books in circulation than the Postal 

 Banks. Of course the first receive larger deposits than the second, for their 

 depositors are more numerous, as well as of a richer class than the 

 depositors in the Postal Banks.
