But they did that not advocate a change. It wa the bank's profits had been deppointingly small; bat it should be remembered that for a considerable time the available capital was not large, and that repeated talk of winding up and an unfortunate, though needless, want of confidence tended greatly to increase the up- hill character of the manager's work, Still, the results had not been inconsiderable when all circumstances were kept in view, and the Board believed there was rocson to have confidence lo the success of the bank if it were placed in a position. share of the Eastern banking business.

The Held of operations was large enough, and afforded sufficient opportunities, provided prudent icana- gement could be obtained.
