40 INTRODUCTION. -which 963 furnished the annual returns required by the Act. The number of members amounted to 490,584; the share capital to £5,347,199; the loan and deposit capital to £692,478. The sales of goods during the year 1878 were £18,461,753, and the stock in trade at the end of the year £2,281,898. The profit balance of the year was £1,565,497, the trade charges having been £1,306,804. The year in question, however, had been an unfavourable one for trade, and the sales and profits were below those of previous years. 76. It may be interesting to compare these figures with those of the year 1868—ten years earlier—as given in a previous Work of the present Editor (a). The number of societies making returns was then 675, showing an in crease of 43 per cent, in the ten years ; but the number of members was only 209,000, and has therefore increased by 135 per cent. By a strange coincidence the share capital, which was then £2,020,000, has increased in precisely the same proportion, viz. 135 per cent. The loan capital had increased in even greater proportion, from £184,000 to £692,000, or 276 per cent.; and the last amount, it should be remarked, showed a falling off in the year 1878 from £917,000. The loan capital had therefore been increased fivefold in the nine years from 1868 to 1877. The sales of the year 1868 were £8,113,000, .showing an increase in ten years of 128 per cent.
