Barclays Total:

Less To Industry

Nearly 88 per cent. of the ad- vances made by Barclays Bank Igst year was made to persons borrowing Summa not exceeding Change £1.000. This was disclosed by Mr. 987 of Edwin Fisher, the chairman, in his 1.98 off speech at the annual meeting of

75 of the bank last month. 0% off 95 off

The percentage, however, was slightly lower than in the previous year, when the number of custom- ers so borrowing accounted for 88.2 per cent of the total

Mr. Fisher went on to say that loans to productive industry amounted to 31.8 per cent of the total value, compared with 32.7 per cent, at the end of October, 1935.

In this category,

accommoda- tion to farmers showed a light re- duction in amount, and the per- centage fell from 7.9 to 7.1. The Anancial position of agriculturists has undoubtedly improved as a re- sult of some measure of recovery In conditions in the home farm- ing industry, and this improve- ment has been refected not only in a decline in the total of ad- vances to farmers, but also in a decrease in those advances which had been regarded as frozen or doubtful 441

BUILDING ACTIVITY Advances to buildings (including building material manufacturers and public works contractors) in- creased to- 8.8. cent...compared with 7.5 per cent at the end of October, 1935. This was, of course, to be expected, for building activity in England remains on a high level, and, although the rapid ad- vance which had previously taken pisce in the construction of dwell- Ing-houses may have received a check, the erection of factories and workshops is still increasing and affords a further indication of the trading recovery.

A marked rise from 4.9 per cent. to 7.5 per cent. occurred; in ad-
