Splendid Progress
Standard Bank Annual Statement
Showa Dig Growth in Deposita,
It is interesting to note that not-
wiehstanding the recognized fact that
business conditions during the pact
year have offered many new problems
and generally that it had been a period
in which it was necessary to exercise
great caution, the annual reports of
most 01 the Canadian banks have
shown that splendid progress has been
made in the development of our
court try,
This is very conspicuously reflected
in the case of the Standard Bank of
Canada as appears from the annual
statement of the Bank presented to
the shareholders ou February 28th,
and which appears in another column.
During the year ending January 31st,
1017, the Bank after providing for alt
costs of management, paying interest
on its deposits, etc., and providing for
had and doubtful debts, shows profits
of $580,280.00 which ie equal to 18 00%
of the Capital, or 8.04% of the Capital
and Rest combined. The net profits
of the previous year were $563,402,
the increase, therefore, being $16,828,-
00. The circulation shows an increase
over the previous year of $1,274,760.00
and elle loans to the public now stand
at $36,034,885,00 as against
$33,042,015.00 ab eame date last year.
The deposits show the remarkable in-
crease of from $43,099,050 to $16,292,-
664, while the total asseGe now stand
t 859,850,274 ae ainst 328
a a 5 2121
g $ ,
the previous ear, an increase of over
$0,500,000. y e
The growth of the .Standard Bank
during the last five years has been
particularly marked. In that period
the deposits have increased over 50%,
while bite total assets have increased
