Sincere expressions of regret were made at the absence of .Sir Vincent Mere- dith, Chairman of the Board, who had presided at the ,Annual Meeting oP the. Bank for., so many years. Of special importance was the an- nouncement of an increase in the authorized capital from $31,175,000 to $50,000,000'. No intimation was given of the amount that would be issued at the present time. Sir Charles Gordon, president of the Bank, presided for the first time. In. his address to shareholders, he said, in part: -- Widening• ,Basis of Production. "Reviewing the business situation in Canada, one cannot but remark how rapidly the basic sources of our na- tional wealth are widening. The eon currenee of a wide variety of raw m a - torlal with water powers on atru1Y gigantic scale gives Canada extraordi- nary opportunities for all-round de- velopment, and the fact that these opportunities are . no being realized• is resulting in the establishment of prim- ary enterprises involving large invest- ments of capital and contributing in narked degree to the general activity. Call Money Market. "There seems to be a somewhat widespread idea that Canadian banks have transferred largeamount of money to New York for employment in call loans. That notion is wholly erroneous. The policy of the Banlc of Montreal, and I may say i believe this applies to all Canadian .banks, has long been to carry in New York a substan- tial proporition of ready reserves or quick assets.

Sir Frederick Williams-TaYlor, gen- eral -manager of Bank of Montreal, re-. viewing the business of the Bank, said. in part:. "Canada as a whole has enjoyed more prosperity than ever before; At the commencement of 1928 a suacesslon of good harvests had already placed the country on a prosperous acting, and the position has been further improved this year by good average yields of the staple crops in all the older provinces. while the Prairie Provinces have far surpassed their previous :records. In industrial activity an extraordinary en- largement has shown itself in construc- tion works, many being of a most im- nressive character, These include the further exploitation of those great na- tural assets, water powers, minerals and forests. Also, Wo have seen a fur- ther increase in revenue from the tour- ist trade, now ranking high among Canada's business activities.

Tourist Trade of High Imnportartee. "The tourist trade, already re.erred to, has risen so fast from the compar- ative unimportance of a few years ago that according to Government statistics tourists from abroad spent over $276.- 000,000 276.000,000 in Canada in 1927. As every province reports an even larger number of tourists this year, the spending also has no doubt been greater during 1908. "Compare this tourist trade of $275,- 000,000 with some other sources of the country's revenue. Thus, the value of iCanada's wheat exports in 1927 was $348,000,000; of our mineral production, $245,000,000; of the output of our pulp and paper mills, $220,000,000. 0videntlY the tourist trade has become a Canadian business interest of high importance." farmer under an assumed name in a South American republic.
