Further striking evidence of the unusual strength of the Can- adian banking system and the rapidity with which it has been possible for leading Canadian banks to meet the changed con- ditions is afforded by the annual i statement of The Royal Bank of Canada. The report, which is now going forward to share- holders, is for the fiscal year ending November 30th. With the large resources at its disposal, the Bank has been able to readily adjust itself to the new conditions and at the same time maintain its characteristi- cally strong laquid position. With the less active trade con- ditions, the general business of the Bank, as represented by. commercial leans, was on a smaller scale, but shareholders i will be gratified in finding that profits were more than sufficient to permit of payment of the regular dividend at the rate ot 1Z per cent and, in addition, to take care of all the usual ap- propriations, including $660,000 set aside for Doininion Govern- ment taxes. Assets Well Maintained The general staismens of assets and liabilities shows tot! assets in excess of $825.000 (50, a re- duction of only about 7 per cent | as compared with the previous year. In the light of lower com- modity prices and gencral siaedi- ening of activity, the mainten-: ance of total assets at such a high level should be regarded as' a remarkably good showing. in keeping with its policy, the Bank's liquid position, as usual, is a strong one, liquid assets tot- alling $348,630,651, or over 48 per cent of liabilities to the puh- lie. The principal accounts in- cluded among them are cash! Churches . ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH Te Father Belanger, P.P. Sunday: 10 a.m. Holy Mass. 11 a.m. Catechism. 7 p.m. Rosary and Benediction. ST.
