SPLEN DID PROGRESS The legitimate requirements of manufacturers, merchants and farm- ers have. evidently been well taken care of, as the loans to the public are shown as $36,064,885. 'The Bank’s policy has always been to do its share in the legitimate development of Can- adian industries and the amount ap- pearing in the statement as loans to the public has been confined entirely to Canada. A notyeable feature in the Banks statement is the qu‘ck assets “hich now stand at over $22,000, 000, practi- cally 50 per cent. of the total deposits with $10,762,524 cash in hand. The growth of the Standard Bank during the last five Years has been particularly marked. In that period the deposits have increased over 50 per cent. while the total assets have increased from $37,311,317 in 1912 to $59,850,274, an increase of nearly 60 per cent. During the year the usual dividends of 13 per cent., amounting to $398,899, were paid, contributions to the Officers’ Pension Fund, $20,000. to the Patriotic Fund and kindred objects, $38,900. The government tax on circulation was $30,483.75, and $91,947 was carried forward to profit and loss account, making that. item $153,593.63. on its deposits, etc., and providing for bad and doubtful debts, show profits of $580,230.00, which is equal to 18.90 per cent. of 'the capital, or 8.04 per cent. of the capital and rest combined. The net profits of the previous year were $563,402, the increase, there- fore, being $16,828.00. The circula- tion shows an increase over the pre- vious year of $1,274,750.00 and the loans to the public now stand at $36,- 064,885.00 ’as against $33,942,915.00 at same date last year. The deposits show the remarkable increase of from $43,099,050 to $46,292,564," while the total assets now stand at $59,850,274 as against $53,282,121 the previous year, an increase of over $6,500,000. and which appears in another column.
