The Directorate and Management have good. cause to congratulate themselves on the result, and as pointed out by the Chairman it is very gratifying so notice the large increase in the figures under the various headings of the accounts presented.
The general depression in the Far East has been very protracid and of a far-reaching char.. acter but, although the end of it is not yet in sight, fibink that in the natural course of vrats we may confidently look forward to a return of batter times--perhaps at no very dit tant date-in which we may rest assured the Bank will participate by increased prosperity. (Appladas).
That competition in all classes vf business in the East has become very severe cannot be gainsaid, and I take it that in banking there is no exception, and for that and other reasons it seems to me the policy pursued of continu ing to add to the Bank's reserves is a wire and piudent measure.
