The bean crop was very spotty and the yield extremely variable. The price being received by growers is con- riderably more than last year and in ite of a much smaller crop, finan- tial returns will be larger than last year. Sugar beets are yielding better than weather conditions early in the season Indicated.

Of Liabilities To The Public--Total eta At End of Year Were + $729,260,476 -- Gratifying Increase Of Over $18,000;000 In Canadian Savings And In Demand Deposits -- Many Busi- nesses Evidently Showing Large Turnover, The Annual Statement of The Royal Bank of Canada covering the fiscal year which ended November 30th last should afford satisfaction to the pub- lic, as well as to shareholders. The statement discloses a very strong posl- tion, with an Increase in liquid assets to-a total of $362,471,645, - equal to 65.76% of liabilities to the public. It {8 understood that & particularly in- teresting feature of the year was an increase in Canadian Savings and De- mand Deposits. A lower volume of commercial loans and increase in the portfolio of Government bonds is in line with expectations in view of the reduced demand for banking accom: modation.- The necessity for invest. ing larger amounts . in Government bonds is one of the causes contribut- ing to a reduction in earnings, but after making full allowance for all bad and doubtful debts and providing for 'cost of management, profits were amply sufficient to cover the payment of dividends and the usual appropria. tions, leaving $216,650 as a further contribution to profit and loss account. The unsettled state from which busi- ness is now emerging, has emphasized the usefulness 'of strong Inner ye- The directors' recognition of this fact is evidenced by a transfer of $15,000,000 from Reserve Fund to reim- burse the inner reserves of the bank, and to provide reserves which they consider adequate for future contin- gencles. This action is in line with adjustments which have been made by ful banks in all parts of the world, and will be regarded as a prudent and.constructive move. The publishéd Reserve Fund is maintained at the substantial figure of $20,000,000 and $1,383,604 is carried forward to the credit of profit and loss account. Strong Liquid Position, Total assets shown by the State- ment for the fiscal year which ended November 30th last are $729,260,476; liquid assets of $362,471,645 aggregate 55.76% of liabilities to the public; cash and bank balances total $157,- Statement 699,215, equal liabilities. - The total of $106,850,615 invested in Dominion and Provincial Government securities represents an Increase of $17,401,771 compared with the pre- vious year, A small decrease Is shown in Canadian municipal securities and British 'Foreign and Colonial public securities, . While certain lines of business are less active than a year ago, other in. dustries have experienced a keen de- mand for their products in recent months, with the result that inventor- ies have been brought down to abnor- mally low figures, Both these factors have contributed to reduce the need for banking accommodation, and this is reflected in a decrease of $44,442, 954 in loans and discounts, Commer- cial loans now stand at $316,119,392 against $360,662,286. 'Call loans in Canada and abroad were reduced by $3,698,671 during the twelve months' period. Canadian Deposits Increase A feature of thé Bank's year was an increase of $18,610,694 in Canadian de- mand and savings deposits. As Cana- dian demand deposits represent in the main the working balances of business and farming customers, the substan- tial upward move in these figures is ot particular interest as an indication of to 24.26% of public increased commercial and industrial | activity. Shareholders will be interested in seeing that despite the lower level of interest rates which particularly af- fected the return from liquid assets maintained at reserve centres, profits for the year were $3,001,649. This amount fully covered dividend require- ments of $2,975,000, contribution to Officers' Pension Fund, $200,000; -ap- propriation for bank premises, $200, 000; reserve for Dominion Govern- ment taxes, $310,000, and left $216,650 to be added to profit and loss account, making a total of $1,383,604 to be car- ried forward to the next fiscal year, The Annual General Meeting of the shareholders will be held at.the Head Office of the Bank in Montreal on Thulsdas, Jamisly 11th.
