have enabled tbe Direc Lors to add one million of dollars to the rest, and pay the usual dividend lof ten per cent.fur the year.\u2018This \u2018ate of dividend has continued up- broken for twenty years, supplemented, wwever, in four of these years by a onus.The addition to the Rest is fully justified, 1 think, by the changed \u2018onditions since the veur 1884, when apital and rest first attained the woportions so long maintained of wweive and six millions respectively.-n 1884 the combined Capital, Rest and \u2019rofit and Loss account aggregated 318,306,000 ; in 1900 they were S19,- (30,000, But the total liabilities to the public, which In 1884 were $35.141,000, had risen in 1900 to $58,823,- 100.1 by no means desire to cunvey de impression that the ability of the Jank Lo meet its engagements depends m the size of its Rest, but obviously un increase of the Rest is quite in or- ler, and no doubt will meet with your wpproval, as an jncrezsed Rest not vnly tives additional stability but helps to iteady the dividend.A further comparison of our condition in the vear 1884 with the present ume is interesting and instructive.As \\iready said, the Labilities of the Bank had risen from 26 millions of dollars in 1884 to 59 millions in 1900.The wmber of Agencies ur Branches had \u2018isen from 31 to 52.The number of lie staff had increased from 299 to 562.Fhe deposits have increased from $32 - »BK,00 Lo $63,415,000, and the loans in Zanada had increased from 30 millions o 53} millions.So that to earn approximately equal profits double the susiness must Le dole and the cost of loing it proportionately increased.The sublic, therefore, is getting its banking husiness done for about half the prices ruling in 1884, No doubt this is a substantial benefit to all commercial and manufacturing business.The melancholy collapse of La Banque Ville Marie in this city does not re- leet on our banking system, which sould not provide for a series of press irauds, reveazed in the trials of the ur- uwppy officers ; its failure had no cum- mercial effect, but caused much dis- iréss amoung its depositors, many of whom could ill bear their dosses, and whose case rightly excited much public sympathy.The Board has had occasion during \u201che vear to lament the sudden aud unexpected death of two of its mem- rs, Mr.Hugh McLennan and Mr.W.XN.Ogilvie, and has recorded its deep sense of the Joss which the Bank has :xperienced in being deprived of their student counsels.The Board considers itself fortunate in having been enabled to fill these vacancies by the election of Mr.James Ross and Mr.R.G.Reid.In the general trade and commerce of the country we find evidences of the oeriod of prosperity into which we have entered.(ood harvests and good arices, especially for dairy produce, have caused prospetitv throughout the country.\u2018immigration has been less rapid than can be wished, but with the activity in all branches of {rade and manufacture in the Motker Country, hutiing else could he anticipated: The lumber industry has been prosperous and prices much above the average the great destruction of suwed stuff at Ottawa has, no doubt, temporarily affected prices.The consumption of a special class of timber for the manufacture of paper pulp promises to have important effects in some districts, It appears to me that enormous waste is going on in this matter, and that some process of recovery whereby tids in- dispensible material can be used more than once is looming in the future.Enormous strides are being taken in this country towards the production of iton and steel, and when the developments now in progress reach comple tion we may hope that Canada will not only supply lier own wants, but become a factor in the supply of foreign markets.Fuel has advanced materially in price, though \u2018to a smaller extent in this country than in Great Britain.This is due to a considerable rise in wages land materials and suvplies of all kinds, and like other advances already noted, has an important influence in checking expansion of business] 11 appears to me that the fact that steam coal of similar quality to Nova Scotian is costing more in Glasgow, Scotland, than in Montreal, may very well be re corded to the credit of dur protective duty on the article, the Montreal coal having been carried nearly one {hou- Rand miles.At the pit head, Canajan coal is very much cheaper than at why point in Great Britainlo better evidence of business activity can be had than the work done hy our great carrying companies.Taking the returns of the Grand Trunk and the Canadian Pacific Railways togeller, we get these figures : gross earnings for the years 1895 and 1889, under the following beads, compare as follows :\u2014Paswenger trafic, 1885, $10,133,000 ; 1898, $12.; an vance of 26 per cent.Freight, 1895, $23, 809,000 ; an advance of 42 per cent.Mail and express, 1896, $1,804,000 ; 1899, $2,268,000 ; an advance of 25 per cent.Miscellaneous, 1895, $1,570.000 ; 1809, $3,764,000 ; an advance of 70 per cent.The totals of the fore going in these years are $30,836,000, and ,077,000 respectively ; or an advance of 3K per cent.The North American steamship companies have had a fairly prosperous year ; many of their vessels have found profitable employment in the various transport services connected with the South African war, and the decreased tonnage thus available for their regulac trade has tinded to enhance freight rates, more especially on export cargoes.The volume of imports carried hy the Canadian lines was somewhat less than germe = the previous twelve monthx, the ight rates were somewhat dearer and ihe number of vessels fewer.The volume of exports was smaller, and the average of

business of each year could be compared with its immediate predecessor, and he likewise cxpressed ihe opinion { that a Rest Fund of 50 per cent, was aufficient, and that when that had been reached,

was \u201carried unanimously in the Commons and was discarded unanimously in the has | Senate] am still of 1he opinion 1):at for a Bank to disclose its gross profits is an improper disclosure to thé and likely to do a good deal of I need not take up vour time with a lengihy argument on that point.While it is true railways and other institutions disclose their gross profits, in many cases, there is a special feature about credit, which is a very delicate thing, and which makes it improper in a bank to have to declare how much is written ofi for bad debts or antici- nated bad debts in any onc year.If, for example, a very considerable sum were written off hy this Bank for bad debts or anticipated bad debts, ihe first effect produced on the mind of every enti would te, is likely to fail 7° What in world are they expecting ?What is Foing to happen ?\" The whole fabric of credit would be shaken from the very foundation.That is my -view of the result, which would legitimately follow the stating of how much we wrote off each year for bad and doubtful debts, and providing for them.As for .yearly proxies, | don't object to them at all.Referring to the percentage of Rest, Mr.Crawford expressed ihe opinion that 50 per cent.was above the average.There ix nothing in the nature of finality about the percentage of a Rest for a Bank; it is what the Share holders and Directors think right fn their own eves.The Bank of Toronta has à Rest of 90 per cent.; Molsons Bank, G9 per cent, Standard Bank, 6 per cent.; Imperial Bank, 65 per cent; Merchants Bank of Halifax, 85 per cent Bank of Nova Scotia, 102} per cent.; Bank of Montreal, (with this addition of $1,000,000 584 per cent.In England and Scotland things come out pretty much the same.The Commercial Bank of Scotland has à Rest of R2} per cent.; the London City & Midland, 106 per cent; and so on to the Manchester and County Bank, which has 103 and a fraction per cent.Carefully guarding my late brother directors from any re sponsibility in this matter, for \u2018thew have pever expressed an opinion on the subject, | have once more to record my opinion that the addition to the Rest is nol excessive, in fact, I would rather see it increased than diminished.Mr.Crawford and others who think with him get, in the additional price af their stocks, a certain equivalent for the bonus they desire.Mr.John Crawford explained that he had not alluded to the gross losses at alk only gross profits and gross ex- venses.He could quite understand that if a bank published a large amount of loss, it might affect credit.The Chairman then put the motion for the adoption of the report, and it was carried unanimously.VOTES OF THANKS.Mr.Donald Macmaster moved : \u2018That the thanks of the meeting be presented to the President, Vice-Presi- dent and Directors for their attention to the intleresin of the Bank.\" This was seconded by Mr.F.TT.Judah, Q.C., and adopted, and was briefly acknowled, by the Chairman,

rejoiced the heart of every British subject yesterday, and nowhere in the whole of Her UGracious Majesty's dominions was \u201cBobs'' more fittingly acclaimed or the news better celebrated than in Quebec, the Citadel city of Canada.On the receipt of the despatch yez- terday morning from Lord Roberts announcing the capture of Pretoria, the officers of the 8th Royal Rifles immediately chartered ten street cars and sent out a general invitation to the men aud their friends to accompany them in a Pretoria ride around the city.The howr.was fixed for 8 p.m., and everyone Was solemniy adjured to bring with him a flag and a noise producer of some sort.The result was far greater than was anticipated, and not an inch of vacant space could be found in any of the cars.The demonstration was certainly vociferous and (he combined solos on fish horns, bugles, and drums, with the music of three bands and the continuous cheering and singing of patriotic songs provided au ear-splitting en
