There are critics who can only have fault to find with large banking profits but the recognized conservatism of the MoleCins Bank, with its long years of commercial service to the country.will effectively close the mouths ofthose who would imply anything bur fair and reasonable profits on customers' ow counts. The fact of the matter is that the business of thie institution had been built on the solid rock of integrity, and consequently is of the highest con:oiler- mat quality ; therefore, it is not to be expected that a temporary business set back,as experienced in this country during probably seven or eight Months of the bank's fiscal year,would influence its scope of profits to the same extent as in the case of a younger and more "progressive" bank. At any rate, we -here-havean-examploiopoint, /where the profits have exceeded .:.he previous "banner" year by some sixty thous- and dollars.despite the tradedepression of the past year. 'Taking the profit and loss account for the year ending Sept 30, 1907, it le seen that net profits after the Usual deductions have been made, including proflsion for bed and doubtful debts, amounted to $912,846, which is 'equal to slightly over e'ghteeti per. dent, earned on the capital stock.
