Mr. J. A. MAITLAND: I have much pleasure in seconding this resolution. It generally fall to me to second it, but I have never had greater pleasure in doing so, I think, than on this occasion. It is highly pleasing to us on this side of the table to be able to raise the dividend. We have boon working with that object in view for many years, and certainly our accounts have shown that we could have done it much sooner; but the first consideration with the Directors of the Bank hus boon the strengthening of the Bunk, and the report wil show you that we have done so to a vory considerable extent on this occasion.

couple of years ago that, in addressing the meeting. I referred to the subjeet, and I again refer to it with the view of printing out that the prosperity of a Bank of this kind must, to a very great extent, depend upon the amount of deposits it can get. I would suggest that a great number of the shareholders are in a position to influence such deposits, and that they may justly and fairly do so; for I do not know of any other Bank receiving deposits, which offers a better security at a fair rate of interest than the Mercantile Bank of India. Those who have taken the trouble to analyse the figures, will ud that the amount of security standing against the deposits is eminently satisfactory and as a person who has had a great deal to do with deposits for various people and friends. I have no hesitation in saying that I regard the deposits of the Mercantile Bank of India us being absolutely as good as any taataro to bo obtained at such a rate of interest. I now
