Natural­ ly, with disturbed conditions' in every country of the world, many are endeavoring to obtain >abetter understanding of underlying condi­ tions throughout Canada. On this account, it will be grati­ fying to find that the premier bank of the Dominion has been able to submit to its shareholders a report that shows the Bank has fully main­ tained its characteristically strong position. It was to 'be expected, in view of general conditions, that there would be some falling off in the vol­ ume of business handled, and per­ haps in profits. It is, therefore, en­ couraging to note that' for the last six months of the fiscal year the Bank has been able to show gains in several of its principal depart­ ments—to further add to its usual position of strength by an increase in liquid assets to almost 69% of total liabilities to the public, and at the same time report to its share­ holders profits ample to take cafe of the regular dividends and bonus; to apply $80 0,000 to bank premises and make a comfortable contrib­ ution to Profit and Loss Account. Strong Position The general statement of assets and liabilities, which is for the fis­ cal year to October 31st, contains a number of interesting features. Total assets are reported at $826,969,537, up from $822,599,648 at the end of the first six months of the year. Of this total, liquid assets amount to $438,192,479, at which level they are equivalent to 59.32 per cent, of total liabilities to the public, and compare’ with $373,450,296. Includ­ ed among them are cash and Domin­ ion notes of $100,047,419, or 13.54 per cent, of total public liabilities. Gain in High Grade Holdings Due to general market conditions, there has been a substantial reduc­ tion in call loans and marked gains in the holdings of Dominion and Provincial: government securities and in Canadian, municipal securi­ ties and British, foreign and colon­ ial public securities. As. a result, call loans in Canada are $-17,840,-’ 690$ down from $27,460,856, and call loans in Great Britain and the United States have declined to $60,- .921,712, from $68,028,615. At the same time, Dominion and Provincial government securities have increas­ ed to. $131,107,484 from $96,081,- 964 and Canadian municipal securi-, ties and British, foreign and colon­ ial public securities total $46,447,- 441, as compared with $21,830,527.. The somewhat smaller volume of business being done* throughout the country is reflected by a reduction in current loans in Canada to $29 0.- 872,423, from $335,301,194, while current loans outside Canada are $42,547,341 as against $43,188,318. Loans to cities, towns and municipal­ ities stand at $24,246,054 as com­ pared with $37,451,194. A constructive-feature is shown by tbe tendency of deposits to record increases. The total deposits now amount to $697,395,742, up from $68.8,067,754.

There have been dark days, when there seemed to be no cheer on the hearth or in the field, yet' Exeter’s stores have been cheerful with goods displayed and clerks and proprietors obliging and courteous. While no business man is talking of bumper sales every man among them tell you that things might easily be a great deal worse. Evidently our merchants and tradespeople saw a red light some time ago and were prepared for the testing circumstances of the last few months. More than that, these men have faith in theii’ community and realize that' a temporary stringency is not suf­ ficient to permanently injure a district such as this. **♦#**»* A DIFFICULT TASK Mr. Ferguson surely could not have been looking for an job when he allowed liimself‘to be appointed to the post of Canada’s High Commissioner to Great Britain. -Little does he or anybody else know what is ahead of the Empire. At the same time, every student of Empire circumstances realizes that the, mother country is facing difficulties quite as great as any that have confronted her since the days of Alfred the Great. The great burden of the Wai- Debt must bo carried and lessened somehow. The integ­ rity of the Empire must be maintained. Her ancient glory must not suffer eclipse but made to shine with growing radiance. Other Dominions within the Empire are seeking a new status commen­ surate with their importance and necessities and power. Canada is feeling- the throb of a new 'life,* A new and grander normalcy is ■being felt' for in busines®, social and ecclesiastical activities. All the thoughtful citizens sense the passing of an era in the history of tlie Empire, the closing of a great historical period in the history of the world, particularly of civilization. Some go so far as to say that the twilight days of the Empire have come. That the twilight may tbe twilight that precedes the dawn of a better day depends in no small degree upon the efforts, of her sons. Tasks of tremen­ dous difficulty await Britain’s statesmen and upon no shoulders will they fall more heavily than they will fall upon the back of Howard Ferguson.
