‘Savings hurt

VANCOUVER (CP) — Canadians are depositing their

money in banks at a faster. rate than ever before even

though there are a myriad of bargains to be had in the ©

stores,

About $3 billion will be pumped into the economy Nov.'1
as the federal government pays out on Canada Savings.
‘Bonds. Just the formula for a consumer binge, right?

Wrong. The long sotight-after upturn.in consumer sales
- which would help lead Candda out jaf the recession isn't
méterializing, industry executives and. dnalysts say.

And few expect any sialfigant RR Hing i in sales before
the.end of the year, compra Wabi 2.

Tough economic times are prompting Canadians to hang
on to their money, say several bankers. ;

‘People apparently have beenidfrafc-to spend as part of
the psychology of the recession;?’:. said. one banker who
asked not to be identified. =

A quarterly Teport from the Toronto Dominion Bank said

e eee ‘sqving inthe first Apacter ; at 1982" wast

F etnar 8 abairéexdl yhigh by’ ‘previous standards, ih said ‘Alix
Granger. of investment dealer Brink Hudson -Lefever.

In 1971 the consumer savings rat was about six per cent .
‘of gross income.

Said Granger: “‘It’s grasping fot straws if you éxpect___
consumers to start spending to pylll,usjout of the recession.”

She said that rather. thanspeading. money on consumer.
items, people are using theirtsavings to pay mortgage debt.

“I just don’t see the psychology-of (a massive boost in)
- consumer spending. pulling us but of the #ecession,” added
Granger. .

: Alasdair ‘McKichan, president: of the Retall Councit ‘of.
Canada, said from Toronto that consumers are making a lot
of “purchase deferrals.”

And the estimated §3 billion that will flow Into consumer
pockets Later this year from the $25 billion in outstanding

. Canada Savings Bonds ign’t expected to have much effect

on consumer spending either.

Said Ralph Huband, corporate secretary and vice-
president of Hudson's Bay Co. Ltd. of Winnipeg: “We're not
counting on a huge stimulus to sales fromthe cash coming ;
out of Canada Savings Bonds.

“The government will require all that (CSB) cash, and
mare, to finance ’its debt,” added Huband.

The federal’ government debt is projected at close to. $20
billion this fiseal year.

“It's hard to, be optimistic in the present environment,”

added Huband: ‘You've just got to have faith. . there really
dg no evidence of a turnaround now. It'll come someday. .

_ we'll just have to wait.” .
~ Granger said that as long as interest rates remain, high _

consumers will préfer to invest their money ‘to benefit from
the high returns.

’ “The spread (difference} between interest rates here and
in oe 5S. still makes itattractiveto invest. in Canada,” she
sai

Las| week, U. 5, 90-day Treasury Bills were a little under -

nine per cent while Canada's rate was still just below 15 per

cent. Although rates are changing, the difference still is - ;

large between the two countries.
“That Canada’s interest rates are still so high compared

to the U.S. is a reflection of the complete bankeruptey of the -

economic policy of this government,” declared Granger.
“Rates are being kept high to prop up the Canadian doliar."’

“I've only got two pairs of hands,

MOSCOW (AP) — When Svetlana Savitskaya floated Into
