do is to offer we part the least we can' to the chairman, the directors, the managers and the whole of the staff our hearty thanks for the excellent way they have managed the affairs of the bank during the past year. I am sure it noods very faw words from me to commend this resolution to you. I am eace the chairman will readily soknowledge, with me, that, much as the directors may do, still they are in a different position from one of the large joint stook banke in this country, where they are in touch with their other branches, Haro the branches are thousands of miles away, and h depends therefore, upon the wise dis- cretion of the managers and ability of the staff. I think, therefore, that in our ense we are more indebted to the staff than perhaps in other banks, where they are in closer touch. I think the directors will agree with me on that point, There is one thing the chairman let drop about the increase of capital which I carefully noted, and that is that be allowed as to indulge pious hope that we may have a little larger the dividend. When we get the premium or £400,000 new capital, it will bring the reserve

Mr. H. B. Henley seconded the reculation. Mr. Vistor Murray. I have been forestalled, as I intended to second the resolution. bat. I should like to make a few remarks, and to say how gratified I feel that the shareholdere to-day have given their unanimous verdict for ingress- ing the capital of this bank. It is self-evident to all those who have travelled in the Far East that the trade of the world is expanding to sacb an enormons extent that this bank, to keep in the front rank, must, as is being done, increase its capital. I would also like to say that I am vory gratified to notice that the staff bas required the usual bonus, and I should like to say that as the prosperity of the bank increases I trust that the directors will not lose sight of the value of their service, and that we may be abla to ingressa this vote, providing that the profits rocsivo of the bank enable the shareholders an increased dividend, such as the gentleman who has just spaken mentioned. I should like this bank to be worked on co-operative principles that is to say, if the shareholders receiva adequate and increased dividends, why not let the staff also receive an ingressed bonus!

orried unimed to The resolation was otrri The Obsirman: I am very much you for the vote of thanks you have passed, capacially on behalf of the staff. I have not referred very much to them in my speech, because I believe it is far better to do gool in deed rather than in words, and it is my object, and the object of my follow-directors, to improve the position of the staff. They do their work splendidly. During the last three months, in CANVAS my travels, I have noticed how very closely they have to stick to business, and they do it most angrudgingly, because the shareholders and the directors avery year cordially recognise the services of the staff.
