An extraordinary general masting of tho sharoholders in this Bank was held on 20th Oetobar at the Canyon-street Hotel, Mr. J. Howard wyther, the chairman, presiding
The Chairman aid that when they last met the shareholders were quite satisfied with the rault of the working. Es now had to ask them to apprese un interim dividend, which the dincios considered was fully justilled by the culocme of the operations of 1897 sa fore they had eventuated. He called pointed attention to the Froreasing diffoulties atfending the working of the business through the arratic course of archange and silver, and the difficulty of diag posing the position even from day to day. The bardens on the shoulders of their chief manager and his colleagues were ever incrousing, and the Bank God them a dobt of gratituls for their intelligent and pity through exceptionally trying times. When he last addressed then be referred to the gloomy condition of affairs in India, and commisontod the rulers of that country you two evils, which they bed to encounter-femine and plague To these tre troubles hat
now to a bar added The Brat mentioned had rapidly disappeared oving to beneficant rainfall, the second had baru vigorously audied and partly con quered. At any rate, they trusted that Calcutta would remain free from the recargo, as if the discase obtained a footing there it. would probably, owing to the geographical position and the insalubrious olition of the city, produas far more serious consequences than had been the ease in Bombay and othor tawne in Western India. These abnormal adverse conditions had tertonely pret the financial programme of the Government of India. Their balanoes had been depleted to an unuerat extent owing to a lossaed revenue d incressed military expenditure, and they bad witnessed this autumn what be believed had ust boom the case since the days of the Mutiny not merely a stoppage of Conueit bills, but the rutaittence to India by the Government of a crore of rupees. The premat position was fraught with difficulty to the banking and com- mordial community. Since the mints wore closed and silver imported as a commodity the tants of the country had to rely roty materially for relief to monetary terision upon the weekly parchiass of Council bills.

They had read in the pablin prints of the evil state of Lancashire, and how her octten industries woro languishing. Tony knew how it depended for prosperity upon sales of marafactured goods to silver-using countries, and they could therefore readily parasite, with trade conditions such is the foregoing, that merchants, manufacturers, and urticans were. losing heart.ho Government had recently been engaged in pourpuriers with the United States and Branco toubing the resp tion of bimetallism by those two oquntries without the pabesion of England and Germany but with the proviso that Indis should reopen lier mints; and the bank of Eng Innd hold part of its reserve in silver.
