to Amalgamate
An agreement subject to ratification
by the slhtreholdeis, has been entered
into by the Bank of Nova Scotia and
the Bank of Ottawa, whereby an
amalgamation has been arranged of
these two huportatl4 Illetit.ulhonO.
The basis of the amalgamation is
that the Batik of Neva Scotia shall
exchange four shaves of its stock for
every live shaves held i11 the Bank of
Ottawa,
The Bank of Nova Scotia was (uem-
puraterl in 1882, and is ,n1c of the most
0210ce0efitl banks hi this (10untry. It
has 8.130111 two hundred branches ee-
tablis11ed in Canada, Newfoundland,
West, Indies and United States,
President is Charles Archibald of
Halifax ; tete General Manager is H.
A, Richardson of Toronto,
The Bank of Ottawa was established
in 9874 and has made steady progress
trlltil its assets have reached the large
total of about 373,000,000. It has 05
btanehes, which for the most part, are
located in Eastern Ontario, chiefly In
the Ottawa valley, where the bauk

institution. The President is Hon.
George Bryson ; the General Manager,
D. 114. Finnie.
A striking feature about the union

they meet at only eleven plaee5, and
these are the large nentres.
