The 94th annual meeting was held on December4th with President R. B. Angus in the chair. In niany wa ys the meeting was one of the most memrable 4n the his- tory of the bank owing'to'the fact that the net profits for -the year tha.t the lýargest on retord, and thtthe retirement of Sir Edward Clouston as general manager waq, announced. Anether feature cf more than ozdinary interest was the re-acjustment of the values of ýhe bank premises. For years. these-ere valued at *000,000l, buit a recent appraisal increased this te $4,000,000. The $3,400,000 thus se- cured was partly used in in--reas- ing the rest account, which now stands at a snm equal t,, the paild up capital, while the balance wa:- carried te the profit and boss ac- cou ut. The total azsets cof the bank r>ow stand at $230,000,000, making it onrý u 'f the strongest finaucial Institiu- tions cn the continent. A more de- tailed examination of the report shows that the net profits for the year ameounted t-e $2,276,bî8, as compared with $1,797,992 for the previons year. The balance o! Profit and boss c -rie.d forwr- -d for the present year was $1,855,185, or practically double the ýflirPs for 1910, whicb amounted to $961,789. Premiums ou ne-w bank stock issued by the bauk during the year amounted te $36,5,677, while the re- adjustment of the bank premises account brou.ght in an additional $3,400,000. Thus a total of slightly over *7,000,000 was made available for distribution this year, of whh $1,440,000 was expended ini dlvi- dends, 83,000,00 credited to the reist account anmd $708,000 te new of $1,85..
