Dominion Bank
Reports Profits
The Dominion Bank's profits in the
year ended October 31 were the high-
est in its history.
Net profit for the year was $1,393,-
459, up $234,903 from the previous
year, This is equivalent to $1,99 a
share on the bank's stock as com-
pared with $1.66 a share in the 1951-
p2 fiscal year.
Reserve fund has been increased $1
million to $12 millions by a transfer
from profit ,and loss account.
The statement reveals a strong
liquid position. Cash assets at $108
millions are equal to 22.7% of total li-
abilities to the public. Immediately
available assets at $233 millions are
48.7% of all public liabilities.
Savings and other interest bearing
deposits rose $7.4 millions to $282.6
millions—a new high. However, total
deposits declined $9.5 millions to $479
millions due to a drop in non-interest
bearing deposits. Included in the total
last year were a few large corpora-
tion balances on deposit for a tempor-
ary period only.
Current loans show sharp expan-
sion, rising by almost $52 millions
during the year to $257 millions. Near-
ly all of this increase occurred in loans
to corporations and individuals in
Canada.
Call loans, on the other hand, are
down $11 millions to $17 millions,
most of the reduction being in call
loans outside of Canada.
With the expansion in loans, secur-
ity holdings, largely Dominion and
provincial bonds, declined from $164
millions to $107 millions.
An increase of $265,000 in Invest-
ment in bank premises to $8.1 millions
resulted from 'the opening of new
branches and the modernization of
others.
