Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thompson Sr.
who have this week taken up their
abode in Clinton, were for many
years highly 'esteemed residents of
the 16th con. of Goderich township,
having' resided upon the same farm
since 1869. Their son, Mr. Robert
Thompson Jr., who was married yes-
terday, is left in charge of the home-
stead. This is not the first time Mr.
Thompson has been a resident of the
town. He lived here fifty years ago,
when Clinton was little more than a
crossroads. A. log tavern then oc-
cupied the corner where now stands
the Molsons Bank Building. Mr.
Thompson can recall when the G.T.R.
was built from Buffalo to Goderich
and assisted in building the cattle
pens on the line through.
A. quiet home wedding took place
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eli
Holtzhauer yesterday afternoon when
their daughter, Clam M., was united
in mai-rage with Clarence L. Potter,
son of Mr, and Mrs. Thos. Potter of
Goderich township. Rev. S. J. Arlin
officiated.

BANK OF MONTREAL REPORT .w,.
EXPANSION OF BUSINESS WITII
ASSETS OVER BILLION MARK
Outstatding' of the features of the
Bank of Montreal's annual state-
ment, 'just issued, is the assets fig-
ure reaching over a billion dollars
-a figure that is not only the high-
est in the long career of this 122 -
year -old institution, but a record in
Canadian banking 'history. The
statement, which is for the year to
October 21st, is published with the
description "hi easily understandable
form", the various items of the bal-
ance sheet being accompanied by ex-
planatory statements,
Characteristically strong, the
bank's statement this year shows
more .than usual expansion in the
more important headings, with com-
mercial loans up nearly $30,000,000--
a reflection of the extent to which
the bank has been assisting the in,-
dustry and commerce of the country,
These loans amount to $220,548,911.
Notwithstanding this widening of
credit, the statement shows no im-
pairment in the bank's liquidity; in
fact, its quickly available resources,
standing at $742,603,867, are at a
slightly higher percentage in relation
to public liabilities, the ratio being
78.29 per cent., compared with 77.80
per cent.' 12 months ago.
With total assets amounting to
$1,025,508,36'7, and liabilities to the
public standing at $948,502,921, the
excess me assets amounts to $7'7,-
005,446, which represents the share-
holders' interest in the bank. This
is made up, of the capital subscrib-
ed, the reserve fund, the undtvjded.
profits and reserves for dividends,
over all of which the Publicliabil-
ities take precedure.
As is to be expected: with the sub-
stantially higher assets, deposits
show a considerable enlargement,
standing at $914,909,050 - also a
record figure -as against $763,156,-
945 in 1938. Much of this increase
is reflected in the bank's portfolio
of government securities, which, with
other high-grade bonds, amount to
$517,171,255, as compared with $440,-
736,820 a year ago, Holdings of
stocks total $470,131.
The heading under resources
"Money on Deposit with Other
Banks" shows an appreciable increase
over the figure of a year ago when
it amounted to $33,943,063. This year
the figure is $77,357,497 and the
enlargement at this time is probably
indicative of special banking tran-
sactions.
Of the remaining 'headings in the
balance sheet, none show any sub-
stantial change from those of 1938,
except call loans which, both hi Can-
ada and abroad, have decreased, those
at home amounting to $4,573,822
against $6,374,980, while those abroad
at $19,142,173 are down by $2,000,000.
In the profit and loss account there
is a moderate increase in earnings,
which the bank paid during the p a
12 months, ,amounting to $1,198,413,
were $46,000 higher than in the pre
anions period. Profits for the year
amount to 4.54 per cent. of the com-
bined capital, rest' and undivided
profits, as compared with 4.46 per
cent in 1938.
After th e deduction o f• dividend
payments of $2,880,000 and the set-
ting aside of $500,000 as an appre.
priation, for bank premises, the bal-
ance remained at $82,446, which, ad-
ded to the amount of $1,183,254 in
the profit and loss account a year
ago, leaves a balance_ in this account
of $1,265,700.

more important headings, follows: -
