The Clinton News Record, 1916-12-28, Page 7ROYILBANK GROWS. " AT UNUSUAL RATE THE, TOTAL DEPOSITS ARE UP 45 MILI,IONS Yearai increase of 55. Millions Assets Mere Than Total As- sets Nine Years Ago. • Nine years ago the total assets of the Royal Bank of Canada were 06,- 351,498; the statement for the year ended November 20th Net, juet issued, shows total assete of $253,261,247. The increase within twelve months had been 66 millions, or considerably more than the total eesoerces of the Institu- tion less than a decade ago. There has been growth from with- out through the medium of amalgams,. tiosis, and presently through the -same medium 20 odd millions will be added to the bank's assets by the absorption of the Quebec Beek. But e very con- siderable proportion of the growth can, be assigned to the expaneion from within that cornea Platten:fly, in the case or a banking .house, from the de- velopment of public confidence in the wisdom and integrity of the Manage- • ment. - Nine 'years ago the savings funds entrusted to the Royel Bank amounted • to 20 millions; they were in excess of 141 millions this year. The bank's es— ability to render service to the com- munity has grown concurrently; against business advances of less than 26 millions eine years ago the cur - tent statement shoes 87 millions in Canadian territory and 38 millions abroad. The 24 per cent, increase in assets within the past year is a remarkable record in a number of ways. A year ago the bank was able to report a 20 -million dollar gain, bringing assets close to 200 millions, a new high level. As the bank depends on general rather than special conditions for its growth, and is not the custodian of special beside; government or other, the 55 - Million expansion on top of a record- breaking year is significant of busi- ness activity and prosperity within the territory that it serves. The year's growth; it may be pre- sumed, has been widely distributed. Although the general tendency of com- mercial discounts in Canada through the year was downward, the Royal reports an increase of about five millions or six per cent.; the increase, actually and relatieely, in current leans abroad, is larger, about 13% millions, or 55 per tent. The latter, it may safely be conjectured, is a normal sequel to the great Activity and prosperity of the sugar industry in the West Indies. That condition was largely responsible for the feet that the Royal was one of the few Canadian banks to report an in- crease in profits in 1915. The increase that year was a moderate one of $19,- ete, 434, but the 1916 statement shows the substantial gain of $205,731, bringing profits within about $50,000 of the bank's best earning year, 1913. There was slightly better demand for money in Canada: a much improved demand in the bank's outside teeritory. The increased demand abroad, no doubt, has been met, and probably something more, by the rising bank deposits abroad. The breadth of the situation continues important from the shareholders' standpoint; a diminished demand in one section of the bank's territory can be offset by an increased demand in another; and the bank is in a position to direct funds in large amounts to the point of best demand. With profits of $2,111,307, equal to 17.87 per cent, earned on the average paid-up capital, against 16.48 per cent. the previous year, the bank paid its usual 12 per cent, dividend ion a slight- ly increased amount of stock, set aside $100,000 for pension fund, wrote off $250,000 on bank premises, paid a tax of $118,226 on circulation and contri- buted $60,000 to the Patriotic Fund. After these deductions $175,874 re- mained to be added to profit and loss balance. Comparisons of profit 'arid loss figures for three years are given eeein the following table; 1016 3216 11)14 Profits „$2,111,307 81,905,576 81,880,142) Pres. bal. 476,472 614,012 1,015,119 Total —52,787,779 $2,019,435 02,901,262 Less:— Divid, —11,417,207 51,X87.200 $1,287,200 Pension 10 100,000 100,000 100,000 Premises 250,000 260,000 250,000 Wer tax 118,226 105,986 .

Part of the in- crease, it has been indicated, found employment in current discounts, which were approximately 18 millions higher than a year ago. The bulk of it, however, is represented among as- sets of a liquid description—cash, call loans, securities, banking balances, etc., all showing increases. Under one of the security heads there is an increase of close to 11 millions, which represents, DO doubt, the purchase of British Government isecurities in con- nection with munitions credits. Tho aggregate of liquid assets is 121 millions, a gain of about 36 millions, and increasing the proportion of such assets to public liabilities to 53.2 per cent, against 49 per cent, the previous year and 46 per cent. in 1914. Cash, including cover in the Central gold re- serve for excess note circulation, re- presents 16.2 per cent, of liabilities to the public, against 18.4 per cent. in 1915. The position in this, as in other re- spects should be satisfactory to both shareholders and depositors. The bank has been able to find reasonably profitable employment for a large amount of money, while increasing actually and relatively the strength of be- its liquid reserves.

Lloyd George Is Shortest—Lord Cur- zon Tallest—Ail Are "Anti -Booze." The average age of the War Cabinet of five member e is 56% years. The oldest member of it is Lord Milner, who is 62, while Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Henderson are, each of them, 53. Mr. Boner Law is 58, and Lord Curzon 57. What the average height of this Cabinet is I am unable to say, as I do not know what are the stat- ures of Messrs. Boner Law and Hen- derson. But Lord Curzon (6 feet 1 inch) is the tallest, and, Mr. Lloyd George (5 feet 5% inches) is the shortest member. Lord IVIIIner is 5 feet 11 inches tall. The five "dictators" represent four different religious denominations be- tween them. Lords Curzon and Mil- ner are Anglicans. Mr. Lloyd George is a Baptist (of the kind that is sometimes called' "Campbellite" Bap- tists), Mt. Henderson is a Wesleyan, and Mr. Boner Law is a Presbyterian. The Cabinet will be "anti -booze" • in its tendencies. Mr. Henderson and Mr. Boner Law are both lifelong ab- stainers. Mr. Lloyd George was one for many years. It was he who de- clared that drink was Britain's great- est enemy in this war. The other two are strong for abstemiousness. Of the five, Lord Curzon is the only one who belongs, by birth, to the "governing class." Lord Milner is of the professional class. So is Mr. Lloyd George, but sprung from a low- lier stock. Mr. Boner Law is a suc- cessful business man. Mr. Henderson is a workingman., The two Peers in the Cabinet are the only two of its members who have received a univer- sity education, both of them having been Balliol men and both favorite pupils of the great jowett. None of them are men who are great for sports or games. Mr. Boner Law and Mr. Lloyd George are fond of golf, it is true, but the others are not great at outdoor amusements. Indeed, Lords Curzon and Milner are too serious- minded for amusement of any kind to loom large in their scheme of things. It is, by the way, a decidedly hirsute Cabinet, as all its members, except Lord Gutzon, grow moustaches, and Lloyd George, in addition, is so lax in his visits to the barber's that he generally grows hair enough for two men Olt his head. Lloyd George's Greatness. The smallest in stature, Lloyd George towers oVer his Cabinet col- leagues, perhaps not mentally, but in power over, and prestige with, the people. His critics seer that he has ordered the working classes about too much, but it is likely that none but one whom they had reason to trust and thank could have ordered them about in that way at all.

It is a favorite occupation — of the German gunners—this shelling a position they know so well after they have been driven from it. An such "strafing" calls for a reply, eve IC the enveloping fog permits one to see scarcely beyond the grins muzzle of the giant gun itself. Such fleeing as this makes war seem intensely imperial, and in the colorless language of the official com- munique may appear something like this: "There was considerable hostile shelling to -day against our front on both sides of the Ancre. Our retalia- tion was prompt and effective." One knew that if the British shells were truly searching their way through the opaque mist to their charted destination the reply must be: all that the communique claimed. Friendly and Unfriendly Shells. To one only casually acquainted with the noises of a battlefield there is always bewilderment at first as to which are the "friendly" shells going over toward the enemy and which are the very unfriendly visitors coming over, to burst in a wild destroying fury. In the mystic graynese of the dripping fog the bewilderment was accentuated, the ordinary whistle and "crimp" of the varimalibred shells translated into a veritable witches' chorus. So intense was the bombard- ment at one time, with the shells rushing in opposite directions over- head, that the mingled sounds became like the singing of storm winds. Each calibre shell has its own par- ticular plaint, sometimes sadly melan- choly in the distance and again spite- fully fierce in its nearness. It is a great source of satisfaction when, under the tutelage of an experienced officer, one comes to distinguish for one's self the difference between the outgoing screech of the friendly shells and the incoming "whang" of what the "Tommies" call "another present from the Bitches," Visitors to the British front are at - ways impreesed by the absolute indif- ferenc of the English, Canadian and Australian soldiers to the indiscrim- ate shelling so. frequently indulged in by the Germans. BRITISH PROHIBITION, State Control of Spirit Trade in Eng- land is Predicted. About the first measure of the new British Government for handling food supplies contemplates complete con- trol of the liquor trade, according to well-informed sources. Absolute -prohibition of the con- sumption of spirits, except medicinal- ly, and restrictions on the beer trade are expected. The wholetresources of the spirit trade, it Is believed, will be Pot under state control early in the new year, and the accumulated stocks will be diverted to other purposes then drink. Distillation of whisky and gin will be prohibited, Placing Shells by Map. "This is where it Should fall," re- marks the gunner as he points to a map with a pair of compasses.

'A proposal whereby the Dominion can make $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 by substituting nickel for silver ceige has been submitted to the Federal au- thorities at Ottawa by Prof, Leacock, of McGill University. The professor, explaining his scheme, points out that silver is only, a token to -day, and eals be replaced te, nickel, or tin, or cellu- loid, :foe that !natter.

The two methods employed were: , stump pulling by power, and removal by dynamite. A stump puller of the drum and long lever type was employed, giving a lifting power of 25 tons with an 'ordinary team. With one hundred. and twenty stumps, 10 inches and , over, to the acre, and seventy-two !smaller stumps, it required an aver - i age of twenty minutes with a team land driver and two men to remove each of the large stumps and 5 min- utes to remove each of the smaller ones.
