17. Statistics of friendly societies everywhere exhibit the effect of the continuous fall in the rate of interest on investments. The income of New Zealand societies has been largely affected by this cause. Notwithstanding that the percentage of capital bearing interest is greater, and that a greater percentage of such capital is invested on mortgage of freehold property, the mode of investment yielding the highest rate of interest, the average rate has declined during ten years If per cent. As, however, the average rate of interest on mortgages is nearly 6 per cent., it has not been considered necessary to reduce the rate assumed for the purposes of valuation. 18. Valuations were made of the following societies : — M.U.I.O.O.F.—North Westland District. A.O.F.—Canterbury United District Widow and Orphan Fund; United Otago District; Court Coromandel. I.O.E.—New Zealand District; Star of Hope Tent. S.D.T.—Antidote Division ; Progress Division. 19. Summarised results of the valuations are given in two tables (Appendix V.). Table A. shows— 1. Number of members at the date of valuation; 2. Present value of benefits ; 3. Present value of contributions to benefit funds ; 4. Value of accumulated benefit funds; 5. Surplus or deficiency ; 6. Average surplus or deficiency per member; 7. Average age of members; 8. Average annual contribution, per member, to benefit funds; 9. Average value, per member, of accumulated benefit funds; 10. Eate of interest, per annum, credited to benefit funds (average for quinquennium); 11. Surplus or deficiency at previous valuation (average per member). Table B shows— 1. Eatio to liabilities of — (a) Present value of contributions to benefit funds ; (b) value of accumulated benefit funds; (c) total assets ; (d) surplus or deficiency. 2. Causes of surplus or deficiency.

This experience has been grouped with that published in tabular form in last year's report, and the combined results are exhibited hereunder.
