THE sharbholders in the National Bank of Chled are to be congratulated upon having secured the services of one of the most competent chartered accountants that the East has ever knows, in the person of Mr. J. Anderson, late of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China. Mr. Anderson resigned the Chartered Bank's service for more glittering prospects in the bill and ballion brokerage field, and although ble realizations of support surpassed his most sanguine expectations, he has nevertheless been recruited for the advancement of the National's interests. That both the institution with which he has onwoven his fortunes, and Mr. Anderson himself, will derire considerable benefits from the connection, is the soild opinion of all who business. Already we are pleased to note that know the ins and outs of Eastern banking the scrip of this bank is on the boom, shares having advanced at a phenominal rate in the course of to-day.
