The half -yearly statement of the Sov- ereign Bank of Canada shows marked progress in the business of that lusty institution. The loans and discounts have increased by $2,300,000, the note circulation is up to the legal limit, the deposits show an increase of $2,890,000, while the total assets now amount to $10.200,000 as compared with $7,200,000 a year ago. The strength of the bank is shown in the large amount ofimme- diatelyavailable assets, which are equal to over fifty per cent. of the deposits, while the cash balances amount to $1,. 214,000, or almost the amount of the bank's total note circulation. The General Manager's report is very complete and must be highly satisfac- tory to the shareholders. The report states that the bank has over 25,000 customers, and. that only six of these have failed since the bank commenced. business. Mr. Stewart states that "out- side capital is being directed to Canada, and that he is frequently asked for in- formation regarding sites for manufac- turing purposes." The SovereignBank has a number of American sharehold- ers, and harehold-ers,and no doubt their experience with this institution has led to their inves- ting nves-ting in other directions in Canada. The direetors.and management are to be congratulated upon the satisfee- tory showing in;this report, which ie published in full in another column.

Death of Albert Hodgson Pulmonary trouble has claimed an- other young roan of this neighborhood in the person of Albert Hodgson, who resided about one mile east of town, on the second concession of Usborne. The sad event took place on Tuesday evening, Nov. 22nd. Mr. Hodgson was 31 years of age. The deceased bas for many years suffered from lung trouble, but, although it was evident that he was failing fast, still he during the greater part of the summer con- tinued to perforin various light duties in connection with the farm, where he lived with his mother and brother. Only during the last two or three days had he been confined to the house, during which time the disease had manifested itself more particular- ly in the throat. His last moments and in fact during the whole period of his failing health he suffered little pain, except such as is due to weak- ness. .Deceased was not married and was a son of the late James Hodgson. He is survived by asorrowing mother undone brother, John. The family has been particularly satllidted with lung trouble, the father, four brothers and one sister all having succumbed to the same disease., The funeral will take place to the Exeter cemetery on Friday at 2 o'clock in thc' afternoon. The ADVOOATE extends sincere sym- pathy to the bereaved mother and brother. R. N. Creech %vas hi Woodstock last week. Mies Livingstone and Mrs. J. D. Atkinson were in Blyth on Thanks- giving day.
