Royal Bank Issues Annual Stateiment The annual statement of the Bank of Montreal, which appears on anoth- er page of this issue, shows the Bank in its usual strong liquid position. Of total assets of $759,168,178, quickly available resources are $491,247,247,.. equal to 71.97 per cent of all liabili- ties to the public. The report makes its appearance at a time when it • is certain to be studied closely by all who areanxious to get a better understanding of the position in which the bank has main- tained its resources. Notwithstanding general evidence of more active manufacturing eondi- tions,. current loans are slightly down at $243,4'77,041 as compared with $251,886,262 at the end of the pre- vious year. Tihs would indicate that a number of Canadian campanies still find it possible to finance business in its present velume without leaning heavily on banking accommodation.
