A comparison of this year's state- ment with that of 1915, shows that during the year a healthy growth is apparent in all departments. In de- posits, which now amount to $43,099,060.77, an - increase of $5,058,944 is shown. - Circulation $3,271,768.00 as against. $2,697,203, an increase of $574,560. loans! $33,942,914, as against $31,426, 115, in 1915, an increase of $2,516,7€9. One of the striking features of the report is' the very large holding of cash and quick assets, being the equivalent of over 42% of the deposits. One cannot read these figures with- out concluding that the progress of the Country is beyond question, and | that the Standard Bank is "doing its ! bit" for its development.
