Statement of the Prince Edwared island.

At the twenty-third Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of the said Bank, held at

+1

their Banking House, in Charlottetown,

Tuesday, 4th March, 1879, the Honorable |

Joseph Hensley, President, in the chair, the following Report was read : REPORT. The termination of another year of the business of the Bank has made it the duty of the Directors to prepare a statement of

its operations during that period, and of

its present financial condition.

In the report of last year reference was made to the considerable commercial em- barrassmeuts eXisting in all parts of the world. It was then hoped that ere this im- provement in that respect would have

case. It has coutinued and still continues in unmitigated rigor, and P. E. Island, though much favored at first has latterly had its full share of commercial disaster.

One of the great branches of trade—that of shipping—on which the prosperity of

this Province very largely depends, has been quite prostrated, and the depression thus caused has, by degrees, pervaded all other branches of business and caused much loss in the mercantile community, and the re-

sult has been, as all know, very many and in some instances very large failures. This institution, with its extensive Island busi- ness, could not be expected to escape free when almost every other institution of the like kind has suffered; and, accordingly, some losses have been sustained; but the Directors think that, under all the circum- stances of the case, not greater than might reasonably have been expected. They have taken a review of the several cases afiecting the claims of this Bank, and after careful consideration of the position of the parties liable, they have determined to write off the sum of $11,084.37 as hopeless of re

covory. This relates not ‘lone to the trans- actions of last year, but in some instances cover transactions which occurred twe or three years ago it is possible that before all these matters are settled a fucther loss in some instances may be sustained, but the above amount, viz., $11,084 37, is the sum which your directors think they are justified in pronouncing to be hopeless.

A tabular statement exhibiting the mode in which they have arrived at this con- clusion lies now on the table of this bank for the inspection of the shareholders, but is not intended to be made a part of this re- port.

The net profits of the year have been $22,767 17. Ont of this your directors have been enabied to pay to the sharehold- ers two dividends of 5 per cent. each, to- gether amounting to $12,000 and to pro- vide for $10,767 17 of the amounts written off as bad, taking the balance of 8307 20 of the latter from the balance formeriy in hand of profit and loss to the credit of the bank on the 5th of March, 1878, viz., $47,011.72, and leaving new a balance of $46,694.52 to be now carried forward to the credit of the Bank for the present year, which, however, if must be remarked $12,921.49 greater than the balance hand in 1877. have been for the past year comparatively limited; but a very large foreign exchange business has been dune, as will be felt when we state that foreign bills of exchange to the amount of over $800,000 passed through the Bank between the first of September last and the first of March inst., the proceeds of which were principally used fer the pur- chase and export of oats and potatoes. This large outlay of money in the country has, no doubt, averted much distress and miti- gated much of the effects of the commercial disasters to which we have referred.

Your Directors assure you that their duties and respousibilities have been of the most arduous and anxious kind; but they have the satisfaction of knowing that they have given the closest attention to the busiuess of the Bank, and to the best of their ability promoted its welfare. As the commercial distress still con- tinues, it must not be supposed that smooth water has yet been reached, great care and caution will still be required by .whoeever may be our successors in the management of this Institution; but we trust that, with the opening of the navigation, a better state of trade may set in, and that when we meet again our Directors may be-en- abled to report an improvement, and that all is and all has been well.

The following Resolutions

unanimously agreed to : —

That the Report now read be adopted and printed for the information of the Stockholders.

That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Directors for their very satisfactory management of the affairs of the Bank for the past year, and that tho sum of Two Thousand Dollars be paid to the President and Directors for their services, to be di- vided as may be ordered by the Directors. The meeting then proceeded to ballot for Directors for the ensuing Year, when the following gentlemen were re-elected :—

Ye

Present—The Hon. Junior Member of Queen Square, Premier ; the Hon. Member of Rocky Point; the Hon. Member of Southport ; the Hon. Member of Strath- albyn ; the Hon. Member of Port Hill ; the Hon. Member of Tryon; the Hon. Junior Member of Bideford; ihe Hon. Member of Montagne ; the Hon. Member of Summerside.

Premiée-—-Well, boys, here we are again; but will we ever meet again? that is the question. I doubtit. Of course I have to keep a bold front before that confounded chap Sullivan ; but I do not mind what I tell you here. I hope you are all animated by the same honerable feeling as the senior meinber of Queen Square, and never will divulge anything that transpires even in caucus, without leave.

CHorvus or Mem.—No fear, no fear ; we are nearly all honorables now,

PrEeMIER—Well, then, it is no use; we are badly beaten. Let us hand over the reins. I wanted to do so long ago, but Strathalbyn, Southport and a few others ob- jected. But if you had any sense you must see that this clinging on for mere existence —-or subsistance, een to some of the hon. menvbers—is ruining us, the whole couniry is getting disgusted at our conduct, and we are greatly lessening any chance we might have for re-election. If Strathalbyn had thought more for his party and less for him- self and his pittance as Com. of Public Works; we would have faced the country before this ; but I suppose he must have something to live on as well as the rest of you.

en. Do you think I could bear to see Bill Cainpbell, a fellow that has been rotten-

my comfortable slippers. It is ali very fine for you Master Louis. I had no ‘‘ go” at the fishery pickings. We learnt this excit ing game o ‘‘grab”’ from yourself. I have not been the spoilt favorite child of for- tune all my life.

Port Htr.—Come, come; the Hon. member from Strathalbyn must not be so peppery. \We are here to discuss the crisis, and we must speak plainly. There is no good in recrimination. If the beot pinches, don’t show it. Bear it like the philosopher you are ; it certainly will be hard on you if Campbell gets your comfortable slippers though.

Soutnrort—The Hon. member from Queen Square mentioned me among others as objecting to go to the country before. He is quite right. I thought that the time had not arrived; but [ am not always opposed to progress. I thought that our chances were about the same ; and if there was any- thing to be made by clinging on, we might as well have it, as we would never get the change again.

SrrRaTHALBYN—What did you think of my speech in answer to the Hon. sen. mem- ber for Queen’s Square. Did 1 not show him the gentlemanly thirg to do. By the way was not that good, my twitting the Hon. member from Cardigan “‘being like a dove lacking for rest,” etc., and my clas- sical allusion to ‘‘ Cincinnatus” and the “*Yaller Tiber.”

Premier.—Well, my dear fellow, be- tween ourselves you did not show to great advantage in that speech. It did appear odd to me, and to a great many of the spec- tators, I dare say, too, your attempting to take my hon. colleague to task and instruct him what a gentleman should do. You may be Chesterfield’s son, but you never will be Chesterfield himself, my dear Strathalbyr,

46,694 52 |

SrratuatsyN——Why did I advise holding

egging me for the last year, stepping into

so, pray, do not try it anymore, unless you want to complete the farce; and an- other thing, do not try classical allusions, You are at home in_ philosphy, ve give in to that. Cincinnatus and the plough might be all very well; but your allusion to

to the piper brings up unpleasant though‘s

‘of water and ships and cargoes, and that

kind of thing, you know.

Sovrrport — What are you laughing about, Mr. Premier? i know something about classics. We have the first and fourth volume of Plutarcl’s lives. I read all about Cincin—oh, bother—and~ the other fellow, he jumped his horse into a crack in the rocks and disavpeared, because they would not let him set fire to Rome, or something. I do not think that it is all true, tho’, do you !

Roexy Porxt.—I do no know any thing about classics, and I do not want to either, leave classics forthe teacher chaps Anderson and that thick-headed fellow of the Normal School. The students knew so much about classics they can pass as ordinary second class teachers now. I understand figures, and my | ook is the ledger, and I know how much the West River fellows owe, and the chance of being returned if [ run again for that District. 1 know that, and that is all I want to know. I will have you all know that, and that is just the business that brings us here. Ji hat about our chances cn a dissolution. 1 am pretty sure of my seat, but our classical friend there Strathalbyn will be run clean off the track. Why, they will mob him if he goes near the place. and that has all come of reading philosophy and ending up with the classics, and, between ourselves, he has been a dead clog on us; he has killed us ; take my word for it.

Tue French Republicans will soon be taking an interest in the Zulu war, such as they have not felt in any contest with bar- barians since St. Arnaud smoked out the Alergian chiefs. The young Prince In- perial has gone to fight the Zulus in South Africa, as a volunteer, with the rank of Captain unattached, and to obtain a second ‘baptism of fire.” Will any zealous Re- publican join the Zulus for the privilege of crossing swords with the son of Napoleon lil! ‘The zeal even of the Commune will scarcely go so far as that. The young Prince seems to have some of the spirit of his race, and his career in Afraca will be watched with interest and cnriesity.---St. John Telegraph.

THERE appears to be great difliculty in electing the successor of the late Bishop Bethune, of Toronto. The syned for that purpose met on the 28th ult., with 108 clergymen present. Five ballots were cast without any decision been reached. A dis- patch says :—An adjournment ever Easter is probable, when new delegates from the Parishes will be sent. In that way the deadlock ean only be broken.

A Hairax despatch of the 23th says :— ‘* The steamer ‘* Aberfeldy,” Capt. Lund- wail, of West Hartlepool, England, grain laden, was fallen in with on theGulf Stream in a sinking condition, by the schooner ‘*C. A. Meniac,” of Port Medway, and a crew of 21, inavery exhausted state, were rescued and breught into the Jatter port; nothing saved but the clothes they stood in. The crew arrived in Halifax on the 28th.

Texas, which has six times as much terri tory as Pennsylvania, wants to be divided into tive States. It seems that it was one of the conditions of its admission to the Union in 1845 that the State should be divided when it had sufficient population. ‘Texas now claims a population of 1,250,000, so that it would form live States, each more populous than Rhode Island, Of course the people of the South are auxious to see Texas divided, as it would greatly increase the number of Southern Sen} ators, and also the voting power of the South in an electoral contest. Possibly the next Congress may take up the question.

The Death-rate of

Our country is getting to be fearfully al- . arming, the average of life being lessened - every year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a comimon thing that in «he hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thou- sands lose their lives in this way every wir- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided, For all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Bo:- chee’s German Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- cine. Every Druggist in this country will tell you of its wonderful effect. Over 950,-

ottles sold last year without a single failure known.
