MERCHANTS BANK Half a Century in Business The Merchants Bank of Canada, has just completed fifty years of business in Canada and has cele- brated the half century mark by showing the best report in its his- tory. Net profits for the year amounted to $1,213,694, which is equal to 17.8 per cent, on the- aver- age paid-up capital for the year. Taking into account the average of both capital and tlie rest account, which amounted to 6i:i,y-J3,100, the Hank earned O.ia per cent., which is a trifle less than was earned dur- ing the previous year. In view of the fact that the year, which just closed, was a somewhat trying one for the banks, the showing made by the Merchants Hank is considerr-d highly liatisfactory. For a consider- able portion of the year, C'anada, in common with other countries, en- countered a period of depression which interfered with the earnings of the banks. Kxact comparisons with previous years is difficult to inak -. owing to the fact that the fiscal year or the bank was r'i:i i- 1 ft .!ii November 30t!i to April 30th and the statement issued previous to the present ,.ne covered a period of but five motitlis. An examination of tho icport shows that gains were made in all departments uf the bank's activi- ties. For the first time in the his- tury of the bank, the reserve fund i ipials the paid-up capital, each of these now standing at $7.(K>U,0;)i>. a considerable gaiii o\er the showing for (lie previous year. Tlie bank's ,-ash holdings are #1,500,000 greater than at the end, of April, I'.iK!. while Havings deposits have increas- d by !>_', liOO. 000. The bank's cur- rent loans increased during the year by over 81,000,000, a id now amount to !?r> 1,700,000, indicating that the bank has been doing its full shaiv by catering to the commercial n-eds of the communities in which its brunches are located. The total assets show a gain of almost 82,500,- 000, and now amount to 8H3.1'-'0,000. During the year the- bank issued new stock, on which the premium amounted to $1HO,000, which, with the net earnings of $1,218.000 and balance brought forward amounting to $-101,000, made $1,M10,OOO avail- able for distribution. Dividend re- quirements absorbed $086,000, pro fit and loss $580,000, bank premise* account $1,000,000, officers pensions fund $50,000, written off for depre- ciation in bonds and Investnuota #135,000, leaving $2-18,000 to be carried forward. A feature of the bank's report was the largo propor- tion uf quickly available s>cK which represent over 36 per cent, f its total liabilities to tho public. This is a satisfactory showing, espe- cially in view of the recent financial stringency. Altogether, tho show made by tho bank is most encour- aging, a*i it shows that good bank ing practice and careful conserva- tive management characterized the year's operations. At the annual meeting it was also decided to es- tablish a Holding Company ftir tho purpose of taking over and manag- ing the premises utili/.ed by the bank for the housing of the various flices. Tho old lioard were re- elected, and, t a subseque-nit meet- ling, Sir H. Montagu Allan was re- elected President and K. \V. Hlack- well, Vice President.

At tlie present time possibly no other subject is receiving quite as much attention in Canada as this one. It will be a surprise to most readers to know that during the fis- cal year which ended March 31st, 1913, Canada paid 81 1,503,000 in duty on food, and all of this large sum is virtually a direct tax on the consumer. In glancing over the list it is easy to understand that the buying pub- lic are themselves largely to blame in many instances, for there are j articles of food produced in Canada , that are equal in every respect to j those made in any country in the world. In the baking powder line alone there were 067.904 Ibs. imported into Canada, and this means the consumer p>aid in duty the enor- mous sum of $07,000. There are no better goods in th-o world in this line than magic baking powder, and it is made in a model sanitary wp- to-da-te factor)-, and can be pro- cured in any first-class store at n'i>-- half the price the imported article sells for. Such articles as raisins-, currants, and many other tilings, which do not grow in Canada, or are not pro- duced here, have of necessity to be imported, and the duty paid. If the consumer would dfV(>te> a little thought and attention to this subject a large amount of iv- could and would bo saved. Cana- dian Home Journal. United States Marteti. Minneapolis.
