The Fojty-Nlnth Annual Report of the Union Bank of Canada, approved by the Shareholders at their annual meeting held In Winnipeg on Decem- ber 17th, is the beat In the history of the Bank. The net profits for the year after making the usual deduc- tions for expenses of management and making full provisions for bad and doubtful debts amounted to $760,- 095 or $44.000 more than was earned In 1912. Other evidences of progress are shewn by a further examination of the Bank's statement. The note circulation throughout the year In- creased from $4.700,000 to $6,200,000. Deposits gained 'from $56.600,000 to $64,500,000. The rest account was In- creased by $100,000, making it $3,- 400,000. Current loans Increased from $45,000.000 to $46,700.000, while total assets show the large gain of $11,- 300.000, now standing at $60.766.632. A striking feature of the Bank statement is found in a further exam- ination of the assets. The Bank pos- sesses an unusually large amount of gold. Dominion notes and other quick- ly available assets these amounting to $27.655,000 as compared with $22,- 790.000 for the previous year. This policy of maintaining a large propor- tion of the assets In a form easily converted into cash Is a character- istic of this Bank, and the present holdings of nearly twenty-seven and three-quarter millions bear a high pro- portion to the Bank's total liability to the public. The fact that deposits increased during the year also calls for comment, as during the past year there were unusual demands for funds and depositors were more Inclined to withdraw funds then to increase their holdings. The fact that deposits in- creased is an indication of the In- creased confidence on the part of the public in the management of the Bank. The Bank on its side has been doing its full share in catering to the business needs of the communities in which its branches are located. Dur- ing the past year the current loans show an Increase of $1,780,000 while leans and discounts outside of Canada amount to $1,640,000 or 'more than double that shown for the previous year. The Bank haa now on deposit in the central, gold reserve $1.300.000 while its total assets have attained the very large sum of $80,766,000, an Increase of over $11.000.000 during the year. The address of Mr. John Gait, President of the Bank, was an able summary of the conditions prevail- ing in Canada during the year. In the course of his address he touched on the trend of trade during the year, the crops, the increased importance of mixed farming and briefly reviewed the various great basic industries In the several Provinces. General Mana- ger Half our. in his address, pointed out that the Bank haa now a total of SIS branches. He also took occasion to r oin ark on the excellent manner in which the railway companies had handled the western grain Crop. The old Board of Director* was re-elected, and at ^subsequent aiHpg of the Hotrd. Ntr. Wffl. Frlce was elocted llowary Prenld.mt, Mr. John Oalt, lent, and Messrs. R. T. Rlley, . H. Thoinsoni.

No more important resolution can be made than the determination to systematically save a proportion of one's earnings. And ,iot only save it, but kep it saved. For that reason it should be placed in s->m safe place where it can only b* withdrawn by making a distinct, conscious effort. No better nor safer place for such a purpose can be found than with the Union Trust Company, Limit<xi, Toronto, who pay interest at 4% per annum, com- pounded quarterly, nd allow with- drawal by cheque. They now have a large number of satisfied custom- ers, and we suggest that you write for their free descriptive booklet.

GOOD CONDITIONS IN 1914 No Boom," Says Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, ' Sane, Steady Business, Which Is Better." 'But A despatch from Montreal says : Big financial magnates of Mont- real, when interviewed concerning the outlook for 1914, were optimis- tic, and predicted a revival of pros- perous conditions. James Carruthers, president of the Richelieu and Ontario Naviga- tion Company, and a prominent grain exporter, was cheerfuj. "I think there will be a radical change in conditions early in tho new year," he said. "At present th transportation earnings do not show a decrease that might be ex- pected, the general financial situa- tion considered. In 1913 the har- vest was an exceptionally heavy one, and I seo no reason why thafc of 1914 should not be proportionate. The unemployed will be taken oar of through the winter, and with] spring labor conditions are liknlr to improve. Money will be easier 4180." ! Sir Thomas Shaughnessy was of. the opinion that llw coining \<>n? joul 1 see a gene nil improvement., He pointed out that railway earn- ings have not decre<vsed to any oou-. :siderable extent when all contribu- tjory factors are considered. ''I am Jpoking for a general upward trend in the financial world once we are yassed the turn of the year," he laid. "Money is already loosening ';jip to an appreciable extent, and; j%ill continue to do so. After a pro-< jounced depression such as we. ,-ir' gassing through a 'boom'cannot he' rpected.
