It is that the total dividend of 201 p.c. now being, paid is not earned only on the capital of reserve as well. Consequently the £2,000,000, but it is earned on the capital has earned something like 8 p.c. and the reserve about 12 p.c. I think that is about the proportion, and it is well that it should go forth, because not only here but in the colonies and other places we reproached with paying enormous dividends. It may be within the knowledge of most of you certainly it is within the knowledge of some of the gentlemen i see on the board that a bank equal in magnitude and success to our own has lately thought it advisable to capitalise a small portion-£500,000-at its re- Berves. For my part I think it, was a very wise conclusion to conte to. The board, I know, were considering it for some time before they finally decided upon that course. I believe
