The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 30th June last,

The net profits for that period, including $29,525,50 brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid aud due, making provision for bad and doubtful accounts, and for difference in Exchange be- tween the rate at which the Dividend is declared and the current rate of the day, amount to $306,733.58, of which, after taking out rebate on Bills not yet due, and remuneration to Directors, there remains for appropriation $292,597.94.

From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of One pound Sterling per Share, which will absorb $177,777.77.

The Directors recommend placing $100,000 to the credit of Reserve Fund, which will then stand at $1,400,000, and carrying forward the balance, viz., $14,820.17 to the credit of new Profit and Loss Account.

The Directors congratulate the Shareholders on being able to place before them such a satis- factory Statement of the Bank's affairs.
