THURSDAY, FEBRUARY' 3. 1910 ' A GENERAL BANKING BUSINESS
TRANSACTED.,
NOTES AND COMMENTS
A. W Campbell, deputy minister of
public works tor Ontario has been ap-
pointed deputy minister ot railways and
canals at Ottawa.
Mr, Albert Allard, Liberal candidate,
was on Saturday eleoted by a maj rrity
'of 6158 art the Oenservative cenzidate,
Dr Oh'ebet, to represent Ottawa in the
Oommous, render: +d vaoant by the de•
oiaion of Sir Wilfrid Laurier to hold hie
Quebec seat in the Howie.
Oa D.eoember 31, 1908, the deposits in
the Oanvdren banks amounted to $722,-
'769,156 Between that date and Novem-
ber 80, 1909. the deposits rose to $858,-
557,245. It dues not need statistics, as
Sir Wiifriti. Laurier onee said, to prove
prosperity gilder Liberal Admiuistra•
tion. It the people do not know it by
the jingle of the money in their pockets
they kno.v it by the credit balances to
their oredit in the banks—Stretford
Beacon.
In the last three issues of Toronto
Saturday Night, that paper went after
one George R. Monro, who is said to
have been the promoter of several com-
panies in which people invested their
money and from which there will likely
be noretnrn. Monro last week left Toron-
to and Canada. Saturday Night did a
noble work in throwing the lime light
on this gentleman, as Canada can well
mord to part with citizens ot his kind.
Too merry people have been parted from
their hard earned money by fake com-
panies of o:ie kind or other and the good
work of Saturday Night will help in a
large measure to pat a stop to this
work.

members of the Township Connell of
Morris, wish to convey to you our deep-
est sympathy in your sad and sodden
bereavement of your husband and
tether. We have learned to appreciate

excellent judgment, and a man who
took a very deep interest in everything
that was for the advancement of the
Township and we oan assure yon that
your loss has also been ours and we
trust that you ,may be given in your
sorrow and in' the loneliness you will
now realize the consolation and grape
of our sympathizing and ever present
Saviour. Signed on behalf of the Coun-
cil of Morris.

Such trials indioate plaiuly that the
system requires the new blood that
is supplied by Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. These Pillt are valued by suf-
fering women, who have used them,
above all other medicines, because
they make the rich, red blood that
makes women well, bright and at
tbeir best. This is the secret of the
great success of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pals. Mre. Geo. 0. Wadden, Wad-
dea's Cove, N S , says;—"A. few years
ago I was completely run down. At
times I would be so weak that I
was
unable to do my housework. I But-
tered from severe headaches, pains in
the bank and dizziness, and at times.
I felt as though lite was scarcely worth
living, I had tried several medicines
without getting relief, when I finally
decided to give Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills a trial. After using two or three
boxes I noticed a ohange, and after
taking the Plils about two months I
was again enjoying good health, and
have since been well and strong. I
oan confidently recommend Dr, Wil-
liams' Pink Pills to all weak and run-
down women,"

It now Iooks as though Canada's
revenue for the year would not quite
reach the hnudred million dollar mark,
as was hoped. For the ten months end-
ing with Jannrry, the onetoma revenue
totalled $48,907,118, a gain of $10,390,-
051, over the same period last year. The
revenue from customs, which has been
increasing at the rate of a million a
month, this month showed a gain of
only $367,205; this is not because the
January revenue of $4 539,931 is small,
but beoauee the revenue of the prev-
ious January was large. Unless Feb-
ruary and March show increases of
considerably above a million each, the
hundred million revenue mark will not
be aohieved, but it is already certain
that the revenue record will be broken.
Unusual interest will attach to the
Budget speech of the Provincial Trea-
surer this session in view of the state-
ment of expenditures and receipts for
the fiscal year of ten months, which
closed on October 31 last. This docu-
ment was tabled at the Legislature
Thursday afternoon, and for the first
time Hon. A. J. Matheson is called upon
to chronicle a deficit. The receipts for
the year totalled $7,477 920 94, while the
expenditure reached the sum of $7,545,-
040,47, leaving a shortage of $67,119.53.
A review of the wealthy volume of which
the Provincial Treasurer is the author,
shows, however, that this condition is
not the result of any impairment in the
sources of revenue, but results from the
foot that under the change in the finan-
cial year several customary sources of
income are not recorded. The early
months of the year are those which call
for the major expenditure, while
November and December, whioh are
not included in the present financial
statement, are deemed to be revenue-
producing periods of a special nature.
Nature snakes the cures
after all.
Now and then she gets
into a tight place and
needs helping out.
Things get started in
the wrong direction.
Something is needed to
check disease and start
the system in the right
direction toward health.
Scott's Emulsion of
Cod Liver Oil with hypo -
phosphites can do just
this.
It strengthens the
nerves, feeds famished tis-
sues, and makes rich
blood.

'Ave Stock Markets.
Toronto, Feby 2—City Cattle Market,
—Trade was very slow to -day, but prices
were not any easier. The run was not
heavy, and drovers were inolined to hold
on for high prices. Boyers were not
disposed to go higher. but former prices
were fully maintained. Orders from
outside points were in some oases un-
filled owing so the higher prices asked.
A. few loads were therefore held over,
owners preferring to take chance on the
weekend markets. The run was 69
oars, with 1,323 head of cattle, 290
sheep and lambs, 200 hogs, and 191
calves.

Your directors have pleasure in reporting that since the affairs of the
Bank were last placed before you at the annual meeting of the shareholders
Jr J•tnuary, 1909, there has been a steady development in all departments of
its business as is evidenced by the statement submitted.
During a considerable period of the year some difficulty was experienced
in- fully employing the Bank's funds at remunerative rates, but as a result
of improving trade conditions and the harvesting of an excellent crop, the
demand for legitimate banking accommodation has increased, and there is
every reason to expect a prosperous current year.
Felton -Mg the policy of- coneerV,ttive extension new branches have been
e: tabliehed In important 1', eetcrn centres, and at other points in Canada
whore it appeared advantageous to do so.
Offices were opened daring the year as follows: At Victoria, B.C.; in
Sasltntchewan, at Guernsey. Hanley, Melville, 21o• o Jaw and Saskatoon;
in Alberta, at Clare:_hol:it and. High Riter; at tri• corner of Ciuy and St. Cath-
erine streets, Montrealt in Ontario, ut Melton tectory street, London; and
in Toronto at Deer Park• Wychwood, and n • r the corner of Lee avenue n.1d
Queen street.
The Branch at Linwood, Ontario, wa closed in March last.
Desirable sites have been pure a •d in Calgary, Edmonton, Brandon and
Moose Jaw, also at the corners of teen street and. Lee at•cnee, !door and
Sherbourne streets, and konge street and St. Clair avenue. Toronto. and at
the corner of St. Lawrence boulevard and Prince Arthur street, Aientre-it
It is the intention to erect suitable buildings on these properties at a reason-
able outlay.
The new office buildings in Windsor and Fort William were; completed
and occupied in 1000.
The authorized capital stock of ih o bank at this time is $r ,000.000. of
which $4,000,000 has been !4eued and f till)• pard up. .1 by-law will be sub-
mitted for your approval providing for a fin tiler toereaee of $9,O0e.00a, whim
together' with the $1.000.u00 already authorized but n'.t ars'::+ , eel' be ot-
fered to sh,u'eholucrs from time to ,int; in such amounts as tee exl,anslen of
business warrants.
You will also be asked to approve of a by-law changing the par value
of shares from $50 to $100 each.
The directors. as is customary, have verified the Cash As: eta, Securities
and various investments entered on the accompanying stetcraeat.
In addition, the General 1,'tlnuce Sheet of the Lank as on the 31st Do-
cember, 1009, detailed herein, has been checked and found to be correte ...-
