THE BANK OF. II,IONTREAL
WAR CONDITIONS REVIEWED. "
Mr. H. V. Meredith and Sir Frederick
Williams -Taylor Speak of its Ef-,
fect Upon the Country.
With a world -wars in progress, and
unpreeedentml conditions existing, the
annual meeting of the Bank of Mont-
real this week attracted mono than the
usual attention, fOr itgave an oppor-
tunity for the shaeeholdere •fif the
Bank and Canadians in general to hear
the views of two of Canada's moot Cel-
ebrated bankere—Mr. H. V. 1V9eredith
and Sir Frederick Williams -Taylor.
Both gentlemen reviewed the situ -
talon. in 'very able fashion, and It, is.
interesting to note that both express-
ed the view -that Canada was weather-
ing the storm with a certain degree' of
success.
After pointing.out the fact that tile
Bank- had .greatly strengthened its
ImeitiOn during the year, Mr. H. V.
Meredith; the -Presidents said: •
'The outbreak of -hostilities brought
about:the collapse of the whole finale,
dal fabric, the closing of the bourses
. and a world-wide financial cataclysm.
, For a time, at least; • a condition of
well nigh general ixisolvency was
threatened. • •
"Britain's command of the sea was
undoubtedly' the chief •factor in bring-
ing a recovery of confidence, but great
' credit is due to the -Government And
their able fleaticial advisers for their
• bold and statdemanlike views 01 the
situatioa and •their peonipt action in
- meeting the crisis, as well as to the
13ank of Euglitiul, for the courage and
activity with ivIiith the plans of the
' Government Were carried out."
Situation in Canada,
After giving an exceedingly in-
stinctive review ef the world position,
Malleredith said of Canada that agri-
culture was prosperous but a general
suspension of new undertakings is ap-
parent. At the same time he thought
that as regards 'unemployment Our
position will compare favourably with
that of other countries.
Mr. Meredith painted Out that for-
tunately it has net"been necessary for
• Canada to resort to a moratorium, and
closed his remarks In the following
• hopeful vein:—
"War and „other adverse conditions
are bound to retard our progress. A
period of rest and recuperation may
Sir Froderiek
General Manager Bank of 'Montreal
• be expected, but the future depends
to a great extent upon the •spirit with
which the people meet the ohaeged
conditions.
"Economy and prudence lathe mat-
ter of expenditure, and an earnest
effort to increase production of ex-
portable articles will, M time, usher
in an era of active trade and renewed
pros.perity." •
Stands .Straln Well.
Sir Frederick Williams -Taylor, atter
pointing out that the Bank of 9Iont,
real was 97 years old, spoke of the
great stability of the institution, and
later reviewed Canadian conditions as
a whale and by each province. •
Speaking of the 'war's effects, he
said in part:—
'The ouislanding result has been
' the Instantaneous stoppage of the sup-
' ply of British capital, to which we had
become so accustomed that sight Was
too frequently Met of its importance
as a fatter in the development of the
Deminion.
"Moues' from this source flowed to
us in such increasing volume that
during a considerable ante helium
period It amounted in round figures to
s at leaet e25,000,000 per month. Cana -
than public bonrowings from the Lon-
don money market for the seven
mr,nths ending 31.st July were $177,-
000,000. Since the outbreak of the
war the infinity of se& capital has
ceased."
Our Own Resources.• ,
How to 1805 tile loss of this money
and continue to expand were serious
• problems. Sir "Frederick eEttri we were
now sett-Mg/a little money from the
States, and added:— •
"It, le obvious to everyone that we
0 are cast upon our OWil eesources, that
we are on trial, and that our future
development will depend in no small
0
MUSLIM upon the condition in which
we emerge from this trying ordeal.
• "The longer.the-duration of the war,
• the more will the colonial props of
the Empire, including Canada, suffer;
but good will come out•of evil, for our
• energies will be turned to the develop-
• ment of oily great natural wealth, par.
tieulariy our vast agricultural re-
semete, and ,we can then look forward
with confidence to eventually emerg-
ing from pretent conditions a wiser
People, with our. affairs on a healthier,
more tairmal, and sounder basis."
Rig Gain -in Assets.
The Lank of ivionteeal, itself, came
through the trying year. with flying
coloms, and its total aesets are now
S259,400,000" compared syttlt• $244,700,-
000 a year ago,. An interesting feature
• of the statement is.the fact, that de,
posits are considerably higher this
they were last year. Deposits bearing
intereet are now $154,500,000, an In,
crease of $10.,000,000, while non-inter-
est-bearing depositare $42,600,00'0, a
loss of $3,000,000. This show,e a net
gain of $7,000,000. '
The Banlee profits for the year were
$2,496,000, compared with $2,648,000 a
year ago. While this Is a small toll-
ing off, it le insignificant compared

Yes, a Mal one—ln a twinkling the
cramp is it dead one, and the last
squirm is over, onee you get a stiff
dose onNervtline on the inside.
This isn't mere talk—it's a solid,
trethful fact. No other renteclar—net
a single oee—will cure cramps so
quieltly and harmlessly as Nerviline.
It hits the spot in a jiffy and saves a
heap, of misery.
"Last Saturday night my stomach
felt like an infernal machlue," writee
T. P. Granger from Hartford. "1 MIS
aleakened front a sound sleep and
found myself suffering the wot•st kind
of torture. I was so doubled up I
could bardly moss my room. I had
used Nervillue betore for the same
thing and took a real good dose. Once
I 'felt the warm, soothing sensation
of Nerviline in my stomach I knew I
was all right. It finished the cramps
—Just one single dose."
Sickness sit night is rendered a
nightmare of the past if Nerviline
handy. It may be earache,' toothache
or cramps. Nerviline in every case
will cure at once and save calling the
doctor. Nerviline is a family physi-•
clan in itself. The large 50c. family
size bottle, of7course, is tnost economi-
cal. Small teial size costs a quarter,
