Mr. Moore outlined the chief de- fiwllrrleuts of the post year, com- Jifilllllllg particularly on the generally Qmiberous condition of the country lllld calling attention to the further exploration of the country's mineral resources. He referred to the in- crease shown in the country's foreign "M19. mentioning that a great part of this was duo to the very distinct improvement during the year in Euro- pean conditions. He commented on the unfavorable balance. amounting b0 $293.000.000. shown in Canada's trade with the United States and went -n to hat ‘ pa. . c. the manufactured product imported from the United States ouid, under more favorable condi- .ions. be made in our own country, thus furnishing employment to a. greater number of people, while other portions could undoubtedly be purchased in Great Britain." He referred to the progress that had beenmade during the year in for- mulating a policy in regard to im- migration and said that he looked forward to the arrival of a larger number of desirable immigrants from Britishterritory in 1929. He drew attention to the keen competition prevailing in most indus- tries’ at the present time and stated s "this was not undesirable unless it became reckless or unintelligent. In the latter case it works for a de~ moralized price market and unnec- essarily reduced profits. There is a happy mean in this matter as well as in others, and instead of com- petition reaching the point where it is ruinous, the spirit of co-opera- tion should dictate a saner policy." In regard to the prospect, for the coming year he spoke as follows: "The outlook for 1929 is one about which there‘ is almost unanimity of opinion. A spirit of optimism pre- vails and appears to be fully justi- fied. Not only can‘ we expect the first hslf of this year to be one of Brest activity and prosperity but lookingJarther and into the long future it is not too much to expect that an unprecedented period of Plblperity lies ahead. The prospect . challenges the best efforts of our People and if these are wisely dir- eeted there should be a continuation of prosperity for years to come.” The General Manager, Mr. J. A. McLeod, reviewed in detail the bal- ance sheet of the Bank submitted to ' the shareholders and expressed his gratification at the esmlngs that the Bahk had been able to show for the year just closed. On the subject of earnings he commented. as follows: “Although it is with tisfaction tbat~we are enabled to show in- "creased earnings for the year, yet we do not feel that banking pro- fits generally are as large as they should be. The public has a s0me-~ what mistaken notion in regard to the profits of the banks, for there is no line of business in which the margin of profit is so small when consideration is given to the risks involved and to the large. volume of transactions. Certainly banking profits are not comparable to those of, other financial institutions and large industrial corporations. Not- withstanding largely increased ex- penses, such as salaries, taxes and other overhead charges. the rates for banking services are still prac- tically at the pre-war level. If the banks of the country are to do their proper share in its development their system of branches must be steadily extended, particularly into tho outlying districts and newer sec- tions of the country where the pros- pects of profljable operation are somewhat remote to say the least, and to do this their earninBs must be maintained at a high-level." He concluded his comments on the balance sheet by remarking that the statement. showed a healthy growth in the Bank's business with its affairs in a strong and sound position and its earning power increased. In reviewing the business develop- meats‘ -or the year he commented on the trend towards consolidations and amdlgarnations of industrial com- panies. He mentioned that "the movemenlfhad been a two-fold one, comprising on one side the uni- ting of large and outstanding com- panies and on the other in a more quiet way, the passing of many old r established smaller companies into the control of larger competitors Accompanying this there has been At Oolchester, England. recently the annual obeisanoe was PPBIOYmBd Ill. linking Bough .

There are ‘HOW ‘novusul OOIIIPGHIGS 111 U118 country that in size rank amongst the world's largest in their line of business." ~ He referred to the present , tive enthusiasm that had-prevailed during the past year in the stock markets oi the country and went on to say that it had been the experience of many nations for at least a century that in times of great prosperity well justified optimism was apt to develop into speculative enthusiasm. He con- tinued that "the earnings from hard work and proceeds of loans based on good credit, have time and ‘again been spent extravagantly or invested un- wisely. While fortunately there is little evidence of wasteful extrav- porate or public expenditure at the present time. there is no doubt that the general level of stock prices has advanced beyond real values and to a considerable extent now repres- ents expected future benefits. It is securities irl certain growing indus- tries have shown considerable ap- preciation, but only the investor who is able and willing to wait a long time can expect to reap the benefit. Experience has shown that in the long run stocks as a whole must sell on the basis of an assured current yield oto the investor. In spire ot the present large security holdings by insurance and invest- ment institutions who have expert knowledge and can afford to wait, we can see no reason why the usual relation between stock prices and stock yields should be modified ap- preciably." He referred to the generally satis- from the newsprint indus‘ y, and mentioned that commodity prices were stable, that there was no infla- tion oi‘ inventories and that 1h his opinion there was ample credit avail- able in the banks for further expan- sion of lqgltlmate business. He felt that the‘ outlook for busirlea in 1929 was most encouraging for the first six months at least or until the crop out- look was ascertained. primarily the present prosperity of the country was based on the good- crops by which it had been blessed during the past four years and on the discovery and development of new and important mining areas the poten- tialities of which had not yet been fully explored. ‘ He went on to say that there was another factor the importance of which had not been fully realized and ascribed it to the increasing use of science in industry. He instanced the discovery and development of Marquis wheat by Dr. Saunders which had added-stupendous wealth to Canada. the development of Hydro Electric power and its transmission over long distances which had been responsible for much of our industrial growth, and emphasized the point that all these improvements were the natural result of patient and steady work by scientists hl their laboratories and in- ventors in their shops. He drew at- tention to and commented favorably on the work of the National Research Council of the Dominion of Canada and u mmend -‘ the establishment of the Ontario Research Foundation, He emphasized that in recent years, as a result of the trend towards reseflch, more and more scientific methods had been applied to business. "Budgeting of output to a sales objective determined by careful market investigations beforehand. has in the best managed plants re- placed the old ‘hit or miss’ methods, with the result that over-produc- tion in such cases-has been largely eliminated and earning power sta- bilized and increased. Accurate in- formation is now available fgom Government departments, research organizations and economic bureaus on practically every phase of indus- try and one can speak of the ‘sta- tistical position‘ of almost any of the important commodities. In some cases it ‘l. even possible to forecast price changes some time in advance. This has been of tremendous benefit to business generally. Thanks to the comprehensive and accurate statis- tics now available, the analysis of the general economic situation has become a matter of tmeasurement rather than opinion. Certain of the banks, of which we are one. are studying and watchins the” measurcme its with great care and making the significant changes known to the public through their monthly letters on business condi- tions."
