Toronto Junction is getting hot over the by-luw to repeal local option. Full expression of opinion seems to be giv- an on both sides of the question. The Leader and Recorder man is evidently DBRHAM CHRONICLE local optionist and puts forth some good arguments in favor of retaining the measure as it has been since intro- duced in Ma y 1904. Some of the busi- ness men give expression to their be-‘ limiat local option is beneficial to the town both financiallv and morallv. Others awain express their v iews to' the contr‘ax y. and no doubt there w ill be a strong pull on both sides to win 3 the victory. If the temperance people i are in earnest, and temperance is such ‘ a benefit to the community. they will surely be able to record enough votes to retain the measure. and according to the views of many of them to pro- long the period of prosperity. Toronto Junction was one of the first towns to adopt local option. and Toronto J unc- tion has been referred to for the past three years as a success under temperâ€" ance law. The result of the vote in January will give an index to the opinion of the people, and if the meas- ure is defeated the town will continue in history to the injury of local option- ists generally. The whole of Ontario. yea. the “hole Deminion, is looking towax (ls Tm onto Junction to see what they're going to do about it.

We have pleasure inenclosing herewith statement of the Bank’s position as at the close of the fiscal half-year, ending 3lst October, together with comparative statistics for the past five years. The figures require no special explanation, and we feel sure the progress and stability which they indicate will afford the proprietors and friends of the Bank complete satisfaction. The Bank’s American and Foreign business has now attained considerable importance. Our connections abroad, as well as our facilities at home, enable us to handle British, Continental and Arnerican transactions entrusted to us on a favorable basis, and the results so far have been satisfactory to all concerned. Our principal business is, of course, confined to Canada, and is concentrated in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, which long experience has proven to be the safest territory in the Dominion for the conduct of a general and commercial banking business. In these two provinces the Bank has 55 branches and 22 sub-ofiices, the latter being managed from central points, and in some instances open only two or three days a week. We have not yet opened any branches in. the North-West, as compe- tition there seems to be unusually keen, but with the undoubted progress which the country is making, these conditions will probably right themselves later on, and in the meantime we have very satisfactory banking arrangements for the conduct of our business throughout that territory. The capital of the Bank ($4,000,000) will be fully paid up in a few months, and it is a source of great satisfaction to know that our shareholders number nearly 1,200 and include some of the most powerful financial people in the world. The Sovereign Bank is at present the eighth largest chartered bank in Canada in point of capital. Its assets amount to $25,343,401, a large part of which are “liquid,” and the continued growth of deposits testifies to the popularity of the institution throughout the country. The past half-y ear is the best the Bank has ever had, and we have current half-y ear will be at least as good. The Note Circulation shows an advance of 8370 over last year, and both the Circulation and Deposits have increased materially since the present statement was compiled.
