Bank of Montreal'Annual Meeting
The 111th annual meeting of the
Bank of Montreal, held at the head
office, was marked by a number of
important incidents and developments.
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: --

"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-

"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,
