CHARTERED bank of inDIA AND CHINA,
The forty-fourth ordinary general meeting of the Chartered Bank of India, Australla, and China was held on 20th fast, at the Cannon sheet Hotel, Mr. J. Howard Gwyther presiding Mr. Caleb Lewis (\nb-managei) read the notice convening the meeting. In proposing the adop- tion of the report the Chairman sald :—

He would preleco his remarks touching the sepori and trade to the East by alluding to the lamented death of their much esteemed friend, Mr. Willem Faterion, who was a director for twenty-five years and chalman for twenty-two years. Thelt la'e genizi collesgun was zealous in promoting the interests of the bank, and ho was also a true friend of the staff, whose person at lotercats and difficulties always met with sympathetic consideration at his hands. The report had no doubt been perused by them with gratification. The profits had shown a satin- Factory increase over there of the previous year, but as the very favourable oppostumt. ties for successful working during the past twelve months were probably, abnormal, he would warn the shareholders against looking forward to aimilar results in iba fatura, I metalo be borne in mind that they had to contend with increasfaz competition, particular- ly at certale points, such as Hongkong and Shanghai, where the supply of banking facilites was far in excess of the requirements of com.] merce. The directors were especially pleased that they had been able to materially add to the receive. This fund was their sheet anchor whereby the credit both at home and abroad, Increased in properiton to lis total. Farber more, with so many b:anches in various count- xles--foreign and celosial-with extensive rami- Ecations it was very necessary that they should bave such a substantial standby to meet adres- sity when it arose. through poiliical or commer- clal upheavals. The shareholders would deabt. less view with inuch satisfaction the directors action in grantlag a bonus to the officers, seeing that the recipients of this benefaction had been the main cause of the cabanced property of the bank, As regarded fadis the cessation of war and propitious weather had materially Improved the condition of the country. The recendescence of the plague in Bombay had tended to hamper business at that part, but their latest intelligence by wies showed a marked decrease in the number of daily victims, and with the advent of the tot ́ssion they trusted to
learn of its disappearance to the near future, They would have abrerved from the public prints that the Secretary of State had agreed to appoint Committee of Inquiry with a view of arriving at the best solution of the carency problem, He earnestly trusted that the result would be an ex- trica ion from the presest monetary They would, perchance, remember that in April of last year he cailed special attonitos to the stringency in Calcutta. That unpleasant condi tion had been accentuated this season, and fegically so, with a constantly contracting cur- rancy brought about by the closing of the Mints, The faternal trade of the country was usually hindered in expansion by the_scarcity and con- sequent costitness of money. They had not been abia to supply all their customers leglimate
wished to carry the reserve inad. The amount now it wiedli of the fand represented, moJE than balf of the pald-up capital. It appeared to him that putting £75,000 to the riceve fund whilst only £72,000 bad been paid to the shere hilders, was not Itogelber fair to them. They kad gana on for many years fucreasing the re serve fund and very sightly too, but he should Uke to know when the directors, proposed to stap or whether they wished to carry it on until it reached the amount of the pald-up capital
The Chairman, in reply, sald'that the shure, holders occupied the sams: portion as the shareholders of all chartered baske-namely, that they were Hable an amount equal to that of the paid-up capital of the company in the event of the bank being wound up. As to the reserve fund, ba had before alluded to the ad- vantage in a business such as theirs of streng theaing the reserve as much a possible. He called to mind the portilon of three large bioku in this respect. Ore was a London bank, where the capital and reserve ware equal, the second was a South American bank, where the teteryD Was actually larger than the captial, and the third was a neigħ baur of their own, the Hong- kong and Shanghal Bank, whick had a capital of $10,000 000, had a reserve of $8,000,000, and intended to on Incressing it A strong
ED reserve was essential to this compary, having regard to the position it held in various parts of the world and the extent of Its branches. In reply to further questions the Chairman sald that it was true that a predecessor of his is that chair promised that when the reserve fund reached the amount of half the capital of the bank the shareholders should receive to per cent dividend. That time had now arrived, sad the shareholders were receiving 10 per cent. would be able to colony to pay this rate it
the present occasion. hoped that they lature, but, of course, they could give no pledge as to what might decur.
The report was then adopted and the rerola ton authorising the dividend was passed,
The retiring directors, Mr. Emile Levits and Mr. Willem Christian were re-elected. The auditors, Mr. Maurice Girdlestone and M Maenna Mowat, were re-appointed, and with a cordial vote of thinks to the directors and staff both at home and abroad, which was carried casnimously; the meeting termlasted.
THE RUMOured PHILIPPINO RISING AT ILOILO..
May 11th,
The report in yesterday's paper of a rumoured saing in follo fe probably well founded. It bas been Krown in Philippian circles for same time pist such a movement was intended, and the fatest mall advices we have frem, there indicated the proximity of such a contingency, numbers of pescefal lubabitants having flad to the opposite island of Guimaras for salely, and ent of the reach of the brutally of the Spanish troops, whore vengeance takes the form of the indiscrim luate slaughter af defenceless old men, women, and children, when the raul rebels have been
found to have catilinked them and disappeared. Such has lately happened In Cebu and to the principal lawas and villages of Lozan, and far away in Cuba.
