Austro-Hungarian Bank... "Although the Austro-Hungarian Bank suspended the issue of its weekly statement immediately on the outbreak of the war, and has not since resumed it, an abbreviat- ed annual statement appears to At the have been presented. directors' meeting recently held, and reported in the Neue Zurcher Zaitung for January 26, the secre- tary stated that in order to assign. a sufficient sum to meet the heavy charges due to the war, only a portion of the net profile, which were 5,900,000 krone below those for 1013, was assigned as dividend; "the sum thus assigned amounted to 31,000,000 krone, which gave an interim dividend of 7.7 per cent. instead of, 9.22 in the pre- oeding year. The share of profita galog to the State totalled 12,800,000 krone, 64 62 per cent. going to the Austriao, 45 38 per cent, to the Hungarian Govert- ment. 2,350,000 krone assigned to reserve (against 3,780,000 krone in 1913), while the sum dedicated to pensions fell from 750,000 krone to 470,000 krone. No figures were given of the amount handed over to the State as revenue from the Note tax; it totalled 11 million krone in 1913, and the immense exten- aion of the note issuo must have caused & considerable increase, The secretary, in presenting the report, remarked that money was easy in Austria-Hungary at the present, the private discount rate for first-class Vienna acceptances standing at 3.1/2 per cent., for first-class Hungarian papar 4.1/2 per cent. Rates of exchange are still high: 127 krone for mark notes, 111 for Swiss, 109 for Italian, -5.80, for dollars, 2.84 for roubles, 23k, for napoleone. There is nothing in the annual state- ment, says the Economist, to contradict the theory that gold haa boon going from Vienna to Berlin.
