JOINT‘ STOCK BANKING C0.

Legislative March 24, 1854 __

Hon. '1‘. H. l-lavilaiid, agreeably to notice. presented a petition from James Peakc and others for a bill to be passed to incorporate the Joint Stock Banking Coin- pany.

it was indeed strange, Mr. Haviland said, that the Colony had existed so long, and that our mer- chants, shipbuilders, traders, agri- culturists and others had. hitherto been able to prosecute their pur- suits, independent of the advant- ages which such an institution was capable of affording. It was not to be doubted, however, that commercial and agricultural en- terprise had been fetlered and narrowed Is I consequence. The fact that, at present, there was in circulation in the Island £50,- 000 or £60,000 of the notes of the Banks oi Nova Scotla and New Brunswick was, in itself, sul':fici- enl. to show the necessity of the formation of such I Company In that prayed for by the petitioners.

During the war and post-war years our agricultural program was beamed to produce cereals be- cause grains are quick food for siarvlng countries.
