INTRODUCTION. 41 The stock in trade was then £610,000; giving an increase of 174 per cent.: and the profit balance £426,000, showing an increase of 267 per cent. The remark of the Chief Registrar (b) on the comparison of the returns of 1877 and 1878 is equally forcible when the comparison is carried nine years further back:—“These figures are eloquent as to the confidence which Co-operative Societies inspire, and apparently deserve.'” 77. With regard to societies and branches registered under the Friendly Societies Acts, 12,300 returns were received for the year 1878, showing 4,692,175 members and £12,148,609 funds. The progressive increase in the number of annual returns received is evidence of the excellent working of the Act of 1875. The circumstance that the return is to be made in a form prescribed by the Chief Registrar, and is not merely a copy of the society’s annual report (as was the case under previous Acts) adds to the usefulness and completeness of the infor mation obtained. It renders impracticable, how ever, any comparison between these statistics and those of ten years ago, such as that just made with regard to Industrial and Provident Societies. 78. When to these twelve millions sterling belonging to members of Friendly Societies and the six millions to members of Industrial and Provident Societies are added the seventy-nine millions invested in Post Office and Trustee Savings Banks, the thirty-one millions belonging (/;) Beport, p. 23.
