But when the Reserve Fund reaches the Ten Million' stage-fit will have reached gir and a half millions when the presont re-
port in passel)--the entire liability of the shareholders will practically be provided against; and this, we take it, is one view which shareholders ought to have in valuing their property. The usual argument, as to building up the resources of the Bank an a going concern against all comers, we have referred to on previous occasions. Investors look for stability; and large Reservu Funda uicet that want. Five lakhs to rusurve fund at first sight sight look a large sum; but whan one lonke at it from the stand-
point of proprietors' liality as well as that of sound business and absoluto safety, tite proposal appears to be wise. In 1885 we believe $750,000 were added to Reserve Fund, and when a simile sunt can bo added in any one year, we are decidedly of opinion that the Directors and Chief Man. ager are wise in their genovation. Banking success, like other successes, is apt to go by waves-some upward, and othere 'not so." We cannot refrain, therefore, from coa gratulating the Directyes of our great bank ing instution, on behalt or the investore here and elsewhere, upon their wisdom shown in building up and in every way consolidating one of the most fourishing frisacial concerns of the present century.
THERE appears to be a great misconception
will be gratifying, therefore to learn that though the latter regulation has not been modified, provision has been made toaliovinto stamps. The office where the business of in some measure the difficulty of obtaining registration was formerly carried out has been arranged for the sale of stamps exclusively to Europsins. As a temporary arrangement this will be hailed with satisfaction.-
