I have calculated the question, and I find that if this rule of not borrowing more than 60 per cent of the mortgages be strictly adhered to, there is no possibility whatever of any slain being made upon members bo- yond their shares, even although the whole of the securities fell to 26 per cent of the value attached to them when accepted by the Society, and the whole of the borrower became defaulters. This statement applies to the first year of the Society when the danger would be the greatest. As year by year went on, as I have already pointed out, the repayments by borrowers would increase the margin against loss, so that at the end of three years as far as the Society was con- semed a number of its mortgages would -show & depreciation of only 26 per cent. and at the end of six years a number would realize more than the balance due to the was reported as lost on Sad November and the Western Hemisphere to pass pocket the postage.

The whole of these calculations are based upon the supposition that the whole of the borrowers bocame defaulters and the whole of the securities fell to 25 per cent. of their original value a state of matters which it is impossible to conceive, calculations are also based upon the sup position that the depreciation on value was instantaneous, whereas all experience proves that depreciation is gradual, so that although the old mortgages did show a depreciation of 70 per cent, partly however covered by repayments, the new mortgages having only been granted at a reduced value would not show such a fall. At our previous meeting the opinion seemed pretty general that if the Chi- ncse eupported the Society its success was as- sured. Thero has been plenty of time for any
