From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of One Pound Sterling per share, which will absord $177,777.78.
The Directors recommend placing $350,000 to credit of Reserve Fund, which will then stand at $1,000,000, and carrying forward the balance, $11,234.72, to credit of new Profit and Loss Account.
The Directors congratulate the Proprietors on the above favourable results, and have much satisfaction in pointing out the steady develop ment of the Bank's resources and the increase of its business, as is shewn by comparing the prin- cipal items of the Balance Sheet with the accounts published six months ago.
