To those versed in the intrie cies of finance, who know how vital is credit to the very existence of a Bank, it was evident that with the loss of credit the Chartered Mercantile Bank could make no headway. ThatGostis a liquidation is necessary is a matter of general. regret, but that the public will be paid in fall is an announcement which will be received with profound satisfaction. It shows that the assets of the Bank must be as liquid now as they were on the 31st December and that, the concern is solvent. It is altogeiber something quite new to hear of a solvent Bank liquidating, of the public being paid in full and of the sterling capital being intact, at measured in silver. It is with this latter feature we have specially to deal. The capital of £750,000 is now equal to only R7,500,000, which at the corrent rate of exchange represents 2468,000. The fall-In- silver is therefore largely responsible for the liquidation of the Chartered Mercantile Bank Many of the losses in Eastern banking and Eastern trading are attributed to this cause. And yet there are those who sto continually prating on the advantages which this country has derived from low exchange. These are, for the most part, mythical; but the disasters resulting from an ever shrinking rapes are no phantoms of the mind, but stern realities. They are centileually cropping up and bearing evidence of the Individual as well as nutional loss that is going on. The Chattered Mercantile Bank, as a Chartered Bank, is not limited to the amount of the shares. Each share of Las carries farther liability of £as, callable, if required, in liquidation. As the capital of the Bank has suffered only to the extent of the depreciation in exchange there will be no call on the share. holders, bat a probable return of capital to the extent of about Lira share. For the share holders to get rid of this contingent liability on their sock they must discharge their liabilities to the public. Hence the necessity of liquidation; to make a clean sweep and start again; to preserve all that is valuable in the extensive business which belongs to It now as

Whatever is best to be done should be loyally carried out and if for the purposes of reconstitution it be deemed desirable to infuse new blond into the Board, if net to semod-1 the Board altogether, the Directors must submit to be superseded. The Bank should be reconstructed at once; there should be no delay after the meeting of the 18th instant, Otherwise much of the valuable connection
