UM'SIAL FI.NA.NCIAL STHE-NOTn. The annual report of the Merchants Cank of Canada was made public at Ihe forty-third yearly meeting, held at ihf head odices of the Bank in Mont- real on Wednesday the 19th of June. The unusual position of sirenglh and the splendid progress of this bank- ing ijistitution affords a lesson in care- ful managemert, which some of the hewer banks niight well follow. This results naturally, of course, from the 'Merchanis Bank being fortunate enough to have on its Board of Directors and among ils Oflicers ma^y . names cl prominence in Canadian financial icircles. Those who have funds of their own er trust funds to d'^posit would do well to look carefully info Ihe personnel of o banks directorate, ajid weigh llunr ireputalions when deciding wh<?rc to place Iheir money. Tho character 'f the Board and Ollictrs of a bank has, ifif cour.'ie, everything to do" willi ils progress and safely tor the depo.'silor. As a nsult of traditionally cnroful â- nianagemenl tlio combined reserve ; fund and paid-up capital slock of Ihe i SkTchanls Bank has this vear reuchea â- llie splendid lotal of $IO,(X)0.(XX). The fcuslness of the bank for the year end- ing May '3l.-;t, 1907. shows an increase In net profits to Ihe extent of over $200,000. They have reached this year tho enormous amount of alino.sl one tnillion dollars (to be'i'xacl SOfil.CCO.uC). which was disp<ised of in dividends 'o the extent of $480,000, and S-idU.OOO was added to the reserve fund. The bunk has gained In the year over §3.000,000 in defjosits. A careful inspection of these figure'' tmly serves to emphasize Ihe real pro- gress made by the Mci-cluinls Bank. M. £. F.
