profits for the year, after deducting charges of management and making full provision for all bad and doubtful debts, 81,377,311, making a total in all of 81,994,728 ; dividend, 5 per cent, paid 1st December, 1889, 8600,000 ; dividend, 5 per cent, payable Ist June, 1890, 8600,000, balance of profit and loss carried forward, 8794.728.The chairman said that the Bank had done well for its shareholders, and all reasonable men will agree with liiic.Reference was made to tho new Political Notes.Dr.Rinfrct, M.P.P., is again the Ministerial candidate in Quebec Centre.Mr.Felix Oarbray has declined thcOpposi lion candidature in Quebec West.Hon.Wilfred Laurier addressed a very large meeting of the electors of St.Sauveur last evening.A meeting of Libera)* of Quebec W est held at Mr.St.LaurcrtUs office, and presided over by Mr.G.M.Webster, has nominated Mr, M.A.Hearn as a candidate in Quebec West It is understood that Mr.Hearn will accept the nomination.lie will Dedicate his Hook t* Hie Prldeess- Capt.C.H.A.WilllalVte has received a letter from the Marquis of Lome, dated May 22, 1890, stating that the Princess Louise would accept with pleasure the dedication of the new book now Being written by Charles Mair, F.R.S.C., the author of \u201cTecumseh,\u201d ami being the history of the two rebellions in the North-West, with memoirs of his late brother, Col.Arthur F.H.Williams, M.P.\u2014Montreal Star.Legal Intelligence.BEFORE ANDREWS», J.4.p.Banque du Peuple Vs.Waleot et al.In this case yesterday Mr.Powls was present fit Court for examination as a witrteee on behalf of the plaintiffs, but they declined to proceed The case was afterwards heard on defendant\u2019s demurrer and a motion to strike part of spe eial answer of plaintiff to defendant\u2019s pleas taken en délibéré.Hon.Mr.Irvine, Q.C.and Mr.C'asgrain, Q.C.» for plaintiffs, and Mr.Hall, Q.C., for defendants-.He 11 Àow Willi btrii LAhdsdowne.It wiU Dé gratifying to the many personal friends and former class-mates of Captain H, E.Wise, late A.D.C.to General Middleton to learn that shortly after his arrival in In dia ho was offered and accepted the appoint ment of extra A.D.C.on the personal staff of His Excellency the Viceroy.Captain \\l tee has been gran tad leavé .front his regiment, which is stationed at historic Lucknow, to assume thé duties of the position, and is noW at SiiMa, the summer residence of the Viceroy.This may be taken as a compli ment to Canada and to the Royal Military College by our late Governor-General, to say nothing of His Excellency\u2019s appreciation of Captain Wise\u2019s personal and military quali tîôs\u2014Otta va Citizen.Rrreptlon to tbe c used for tho glorification of God\u2019s holy name.Prior to the performance of tho ceremony of the day, Mrs.Henry Russell, to whose efforts are largely due jthe success of the movement for tho erection of the hew edifice, was made the recipient Of a hAmUptfio trowel and mallet.The former;

Loss carried forward.794,728 85 The principal feature in the annexed statements as compared with those of last year is the falling off in the deposits caused chiefly by large withdrawals of Government inonies.l The amount carried forward at credit of Profit and Loss Account is somewhat less than last year ; but it will be observed that $200.000 have been appropriated to provide for rebate on Bills under discount, in ao cordance with the recommendation adopted at the Annual Meeting last J une.Beyond these two points there is nothing in the statements calling for special mention or remark.As indicated in the last Annual Report a commodious and substantial building has been erected on the corner of St.Catherine and Mansfield streets in this city for occupation by the West End branch of the bank, »nd in the building are also fire and burglar proof safety vaults for rent, for the accommodation of parties desiring to have their securities in a safe place.The Head Office aud aU the Branches have passed through the usual inspection during the year.Ihe Shareholders are aware that there has been important Legislation in the session of Parliament jnst closed, bearing upon Bank ing, which has

W.J.Buchanan, General Manager.Bank of Montreal, \\ Montreal, 30th April, 1890./ THE PRESIDENT\u2019S ADDRESS.The President, Sir Donald Smith, in moving the adoption of the annual report said : Gentlemen, you have just heard the report read, and I do not intend occupying much of your time with any remarks upon it or to go into details, for although in common with my colleagues in the direction, we ha\\ e a general, aud we hope an intimate knowledge of the affairs of the Bank, still the General Manager and Assistant-General Manager are much more conversant with the details of the business, and you will have from the General Manager a statement such as I trust, in fact I am sure, will lie in every way satisfactory to the shareholders.I will just touch lightly on the question of profits for the last year.The balance of pro-fit-and loss account on the 30th April, 1889, was $8l reserved for bills discounted and current.The profits for the year ending 30th April, 1890, after deducting charges of management and making full provision for had and doubtful debts was $1,377,311.32, as against $1,-377,176.01 in the preceding year.The two half-yearly dividends on both occasions amounted for the whole year to $1,200,000, and the l>alanee to profit and loss account carried forward is $794,728.85, as against $817,-417.53 the preceding year, but if the $200,-000 had not been deducted this year, it would actually be $994,728.85.Considering the circumstances of the year, we think that, as a whole, the Bank has done very well for its shareholders.We are not much given to prophesying in this Bank, hut last year we mentioned that if the crops were g»K>d we expected to have a very satisfactory result from the business.The harvest, however, did not turn out equal to the expectations, for in the early part of the year it was very promising indeed.Unfortunately there was a very great drought, and that interfered to a large extent with the crops.Altogether, in fact, the condition of business throughout the country did not come nip to the expectations of the early part of the year.This year, again, THK I\u2019ROSPECTS ARE VERY GOOD.We have hod copiotis rains, and in that portion of the country where it was most needed, in the great Northwest, where they imd a continued drought for three years previous.The lands there have been very much in need of moisture at the proper time for the growth and ripening of the crops.This year they have had an unusually great fall of snow, and happily throughout the spring they have also had abundance of rain, so that they look fonvard now with very great hope, with much expectation in fact, to ountiful crops.I may mention, however, that although the condition of business was not what we had hoped it would be, yet we donot mean to say that it was very bad, and I think wc are justified in taking a somewhat hopeful view of the country and of our position.When we see that the principal railroads throughout the last year were able not only to keep up their earnings to what they were the year before, but that they have had a very considerable increase, it shows that the volume of traffic was greatly augmented, because the gain is not to lie accounted for by higher rates ; on the contrary, I believe with regard to all the railways that any difference there may have been was in the direction of a diminution in the rates.Your directors do not for a moment pretend to say that the management of the Bank* has been faultless, but they do aver that it has been their endeavor to promote your interests to the very licst of their ability, and we know that as with individuals so it is with corporations.It is not that they are perfect, but that those are the successful directors or the successful corporations who make the fewest mistakes.We have much that ought to njake us look forward hopefully.We have a net-work of railways now very complete throughout the old provinces ; we have in the Northwest a read running to the Pacific, and we have now direct connection with the East, and in a very siiort time we shall have more immediate connection or at any rate a much superior service to China and Japan.In November next, the first of three steamers built expressly for that service will be launched and ON ITS WAY TO CHINA AND JAPAN, two others following immediately afterwards.Tltoso fyoats are such, I think, as Canadians may be ptoud of, because they are to be in every way equal, except in §j/.c.to those great vessels, the \u201cMajestic\" anq \u201cTeutonic.\u201d They will be smaller, of course, as better adapted for the trade jn which they are to be engaged, being soiqethina like 6,000 tons each.Vve have now also a djreot road to the American Northwest, anil we know that throughout the post year a very great deal of traffic has passed over that route, although it was only then in its inception, and from what we have seen of it we may look forward to much greater things in the immediate future.There will also lie another line to Chicago, and although we were pretty well supplied in that way already, yet, coming as it will to Montreal direct, it cannot fail tp enlarge the com meree of this port.I think, tI)?Fe fore, looking to all these great benefits to be dcriv^I from such facilities of communica tiou, we in Montreal, and you, shareholders of the Bank of Montreal, may reasonably an ticipate a large accession of business from these sources.You are all aware that a new banking act has been passed dur ing the lost session of Parliament.Your directors have giy.wi tj)_eir very anxious at tention and consideration tq tpS pro visions of that act, aud through the oxer tious put foryaed ojf the part of the Bank and others, some prpyis.ioq4 Jop|j,ed upon as not being in the interest of th,e banks op qf the community were in some coses eliminated, in others modified in its passage through Parliament.It was proposed, top one thing, that there should be an official audit.Now we think, and have thought throughout, that you were sufficiently satisfied with the audit of accounts as you now have it, and yhiie we considered that it would have com Elicated matters very much had this clause een passed, yrç feit assured that it would have 1>eeu of no practical value.If would not have given you any better insight into tb?accounts or into the statement of thé Batik than you now iinvp.Jttere was also another clause whioh has been modified considerably that is the question of unclaimed balances These it was proposed In the first instance to have made over from all the different banks to the Government, in short, to bo put Into the\tpublic treasury.\tIt\twas not thought on the part of the banks and by those taking an\timmediate and earnest interest in banking affairs that this was desirable, and a modification of it was accomplished .of such a nature that as it now stands it certainly CAN DO NO HARM.I may mention while referring to this that your directors, and especially the vice-presi dent, Hon Mr.JJjrnmtyQ.nd, and Hon.Mr Abbott gave very much attenliqn to it, as did also your assistant manager, iho general manager, unfortunately, at that time was not very well, otherwise hé would also have devoted himself to its consideration with that inlelligence and zeal which h« always giyes to your affairs.Altogether, the act as it now stands is passably good at any rate, for myself, I will suy that the Bank of Montreal will loyally and cordially carry out the compromise of the five per oenl, which is to be contributed by the différent banks, with the possibility of one per cent, afterwards in any one year, for the purpose of guaranteeing t\u2019 solvency of the note issues, and of maki them current at par the Domiuion over While they will do so, J do still hold to the opinion I have had throughout, (hut the true system of banking for this country wouid be very much that which has Worked so well on the other sida of the line, that is that each bank should guarantee t(is qv, /} circulation.However, we have the act now for the neçt ten years, and we must endeavor to make the best of it.The statement refers to the new build ing that has been erected in the upper part of the town.Business is progressing there, and it is, so far as it has gone, very satisfactory, and the branch is found to l>e a very great convenience for the people of that locality.Now, looking generally at the affairs of the bank, and taking a retrospect, going back to 1818, when this bank was founded, we find that in that year it had a capital of £87.500 currency, or $350,000.Till 1829 it did not get beyond £187,000, or $748,000.From 1831 to 1837 it was £250,000.or $1,000,000, and in 1855 it h»d assumed the proportions of £1,000,000, or $4,000,000.In 1870, it had gone up to $6,(XX),000, and the last advance was made in 1873, when it went up to $12, 000,000, at which it now stands^ Now, I think that in glancing lightly and rapidly at the great changes wiiich have taken place since 1818\u2014-seventy-two years\u2014we cannot fail to recognize ÏIIE VAST PROGRESS of this country during that periotl of time.Who would have thought that with the small beginnings of this Dank, it could have attained to the proportions and to the influence it posseses to day.I think that each and every other bank in the Dominion will readily admit that it is a great support to them that the Bank of Montreal is in the position it now holds.At the time I speak of' not only was there not the rapid communication with Europe which W0 have to-day, but there was no steam communication whatsoever.Instead of crossing, as wo now do, in six or seven days, it took as many weeks,and, consequently, commerce had not anything of the advantages that w'e now have in communicating with Europe and with otlier parts of the world.I am reminded since I came to this meeting that it Is a very few years ago indeed, certainly not so far back us 1818, nor ono-hnif of that period, that no one in his wildest dream w'ould have thought we were ever to have communication across this continent with Japan, with China and witii India, and w\u2019liat lias been effected in these directions will with equal certainty be accomplished direct with Australia aud the other southern colonies.Wo have in this city to-day His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught and his consort, They have come, not from England in the old way, across the Atlantic, but from India, by w\u2019ay of China and Japan, on to Vancouver, then crossing the continent to Montreal, so fulfilling the dream of those who, centuries ago, came here hoping to find a route to China through Canada.This bank, ns it happens, was established in the same year as that in which Our Gracious Queen was born, and now, seventy-two years afterwards, wo have two members of the Royal family coming here, as it happens, on this, our annual meeting day.I hope we may accept this as a good omen.Their journey is made without pomp, without ostentation, and without any of the accessories of a royal progress.It is made for the purpose of GAINING A KNOWLEDGE of the country, of knowing what this portion pof the British Empire is like, so that that knowledge may lie given authoritatively in England and in Europe, as it will be given witn very great force and with very great influence.I think we may look upon this as an excellent thing for Canada, apart from our satisfaction at having amongst us august members of the royal family.Your Directors will, no doubt, as in the post, give their best and most earnest attention to the business of your Bank, and while they may not prophesy or l>e too certain of what is in store for you in the years to come, they will, I am confident, from time to time consider with the greatest care what may be essential to maintain the Bank in that high position to which it has attained, and do their utmost in every way to give to the shareholders the best return possible, while not infringing upon ttic Capital or Rest.I need add notliing further, and, indeed, I have said more than I intended when 1 got up to speak.I will now simply ask the General Manager to give such statement as he lias prepared.TIIK GENERAL MANAGER\u2019S ADDRESS.The General Manager said :\u2014You w ill notice in the report laid before you that there is a large falling off since lost year in the amount of deposits, both free and interest bearing.The deposits bearing interest have been reduced from $18,843,931 to $14,434,414, a reduction of $4,4IX),000 ; of this $3,700,(XX) was a special deposit from the Dominion Government.The free deposits have diminishes! from $8,*240,000 to $6,700,000, a reduction of $1,500,000 ; of this $800,000 was Government money.To meet these large withdrawals of nearly $6,000,000, and to provide for the purchase of $1,300,000 ot securities, which we hold in England as a reserve, we we have been obliged to draw to a large extent on our funds in the United States.From that source we have taken some $6,800,000.We have been taxed on several occasions with want of consideration for Canadian interests in employing funds to such an extent out of Canaua.The above will illustrate, better than anything else, the great importance, not only to the Bank, but also to the Dominion, and, indeed, the absolute necessity of keeping a considerable amount of money in a shape in which it can at once be made available.Had the money )>eeii employed inCanada.weshould, to meet the heavy deniamlsupoii us, have been obliged to contract our loans and cramp our conpqerclai customer.-', at a time when it has been almost imperative to assist them with a liberal hand.It is hardly necessary to state, what all business people must know, that the past year has been an exceptionally trying one both to the farming and the commercial community.The opening of last spring gave bright promises, but the autumn brought no fulfilment.With the exception of the Lower Provinces, the harvest was a great disappointment, collections were necessarily poor (particularly in the Northwest), small failures were numerous, many of our customers made heavy losses, and it was necessary to renew large amounts of paper.Jt was, \"therefore, impossible to reduce our commercial Iqana without causing great inconvenience, and most\tdonjg serious injury to those dependent on us.4\\e have, however, l>cen able tq g*ve aB the assistance qucçssary to iqeet any reasonable demands, g-itliont unduly oranjpjug Qip: eustoiijer*.We have thought it junlcioqs tq purchase a number of bonds, referred to ifi tnp statement, which arc held at owr Loudon office, as a reserve to lie used only in case of necessity.They return a low rate of interest on the investment, but are all of the highest class, and could be made available at a minute\u2019s notice.The necessity is only likely to arise in the event of a state of affairs in Canada, when it would bo difficult or injudicious to either borrow on, or sell, any class of security, As >qn kfiO'Yi the market in Canada is linpied, and H would be difficult for any bauk to finance a large amount ot short notice.What would be difficult for an other bank would be an impossibility for the Bank of Montreal.There is no oth«?r jjoiqt of special import ance in the statement.During the last1 session A NEW BANKING ACT has received the assent of Parliament, ami will go into operation on the expiration of the existing one 'in July, }8UL \u2022 Thp chief feature?of the new act arc the additional security given to tfin circulation, and the ob ligation on the banks to publish tfie upc|aim ed balances.With regard to the former it will not be news to many of our shareholders to state that it does not meet our entire ap proval.The Bank of Montreal has always recognized the right of the Government to demand, in exchange for almost the only privilege conceded to the Banks, of issuing the currency of the country, the proper secur ity of that currency, and this Bank has al ways best) prepared to secure its own issues to the fullest extent ; but we objected to be called 6n to'assist in ' contributing to the sçpurlly qf the curreriq'y of 'bthei\u2019 Banks oVèr yyhoso actions yp have qo control.The pre scut scheme as I dape say you iknow, in volves a contribution of 5 per cent from each Bunk to a general fund, which will be applied to the redemption of the circulation of any insolvent Bank.In the event of the assets of the insolvent Bank not realising sufficient to pay its circulation, and restore the fund to the original amount of 5 pc cent, on the total circulation of the Do minion, the Banks will be called on to con tribute again ; but in no case are they to be tivxod for more than 1 per pent- their circulation 1 In each'year, 7 Though nqt up proving we agreed fo this, \u2019aé X compromise on the original scheme, proposed by the Government, which might have involved us, under certain circumstances, in a liability limited'qnly by the tôfaî bank circulation of the Dominion, whd our ability to pay.With regard to the obligation to publish the m&i)ces unclaimed for five years, the only thing tq fie said iç 4 wijl involve great (leaf qf clerical\u2019 labor,' resulting ii\\ little qr i)q benefit to anyone, With ihè' possibility qf doing tiariq ai)d'j|)justice, in certain cases.Asiae from the$e tyo pqintg, one qf yhiçb j?entirely personal tq the Banli of Montreal for we stood alone in our protest against it.and the other a matter of trifling import, the Finance Minister is to be congratulated on giving to the country an act which will be mailed as a great advance and improvement on any previous banking legislation, and will wudqijbtedly give satisfaction to all those who come Wndkl jt?operation.The other changes In the act are, briefly as fqllows :\u2014 biuik will in future be able to com mt-nce bujifqesy uidu/ss $250,00Q has been first paid iq tq the uccciyep-General, the object being tq prevent the floating of a ne\\y bank until àçtual cash fias been coi) tribu ted.Under the old act it was quite possible for a bank to begin business on notes given by shareholders, without any actual cash de posit.Proxies must be renewed every tw\u2019o years instead of three, and they must be produced and recorded thirty days prior to a meeting.In order to qualify, directors MUST HOLD FULLY PAID UP STOCK.In place of all, it is sufficient if a majority of directors be subjects of Her Majesty.The capital stock may be increased or reduced by by-law passed at a meeting of sharc-holdere ana approval by the Trpaaupy Board.The premium on new stock issued must not exceed the percentage which the Reserve ^und bears to the paid up capital.Restrictions have been placed on specula tive sales of Bank stocks.No Bunk can hypothecate its circulation, nor can anyone make an advance on it under severe penalties.Penalties generally have been inci'on.sed.In the event of insolvency the Dominion Gover»»mci)t lien comes after the circulation, then the Provincial Gov crip ment, and lastly the ordinary depositors.All hanks are required to make arrangements by which their notes shall pass at par through the Dominion.A clause has been iqsettpd that no notes shall lie issued that are torn or defaced, 'j\u2019his (s u mischievous piece of legislation, and appears to have boon jqscrtcij in the interest of some paper makers or engrave, ¦.The loaning powers of a Bank generally have l»ecn extended Insyond the scope of the existing act.A warehouse receipt under the new Act is confined entirely to receipts issued by warehousemen on goods not their own property, person» owning goods cannot issue a warehouse receipt aa upder the ojej act, but a bank is authorized to loud to certain specified persons directly, under a simple document assigning the goods to the baiiK, Jn tho event of insolvency, before distributing the assets to tho shareholders, suffi, oient has to ho deposited with the Finance department to provide for unclaimed de, jKisitors\u2019 balances and outstanding circulation -a w ise and righteous piece of legislation.Previously these amounts, after a certain time, were al,sorbed by the shareholders.The liability of shareholders who have sold and transferred their stock does not cease until sixty days after suspension, in place of thirty days as at present.The form of return to Government has been shortened and simplified without in any way impairing the value of the information.\tN- It is not my intention to trespass on your time by giving a general trade review for the past year.That has been, and probably will he, done by others ; nor shall I attempt to prophesy as to the future.The mercantile community know that, owing to the failure of the harvest, payments have been bad, business poor, and small failures numerous.It is to be hoped better tilings are in store for us this year ; otherwise the consequences will almost assuredly Ihj serious.DISCUSSING THF.REPORT.The President then moved, That the Report of the Directors, now read, he adopted and printed for distribution among the Shareholders.Hon.Senator Drummond\u2014I have much pleasure in seconding the motion.The President\u2014If there are any other gentlemen who would like to make some observations on the report, wo will be most happy to hear them.After a few remarks from Mr.John Morrison, Mr.John Crawford said there were one or two little things in the report to which he should like to advert.Une was that the earnings of the bank were below the average.Had the $200,000 referred to by the President been deducted from the net earnings it would have been a trifle under the minimum figure.But he could undei stand that the result was just the same by deducting the $200,000 from the profit and loss account, leaving the total about $20,000 less.Considering the very trying period through which they have passed, he w as quite prepared to admit that they had abundant reason to be thankful.Speaking of the Banking Act, he referred to Hon.Mr.Blake\u2019s amendment requiring the publication of the gross losses, and also the amount placed to the credit of the expense account.While Mr.Blake, ever elotiuent and logical, almost excelled himself in demonstrating the importance and advisablencss of that amendment, resulting in a unanimous concurrence of the popular branch of the Legislature, it was then that our highly esteemed President, Sir Donald Smith, was carried away irresistably with % spontaneous inspiration of the occasion, and, springing to his feet like a boy, announced his concurrence in that measure.But the liank managers were so exercised at the radical innovation that they addressed themselves, as bank managers only know how, to reverse the popular vote of the Lower House by an appeal to the House of Lords.Nor were they without success.Had Mr.Ijlako\u2019s aiqejidiijent sayeiud of serious import or been an attack upon our liberties, he would say \u201cAll honor to the House of Lords for holding the fort.\u201d The contrary, however, being the cose, he asked, was the measure sufficiently aggressive to warrant the Senate in reversing that decision, and in so doing had they strengthened the bankers\u2019 hold upon the country or added to their own dignity.He ventured to say that if therewere much more legislation of that character it would impose upon the country the duty of solving a very significant question which had been discussed on both hemispheres very frequently.However, leaving that decision to posterity, I assert that a moral triumph secured in tho Lower House cannot be annulled by any legislative act, nor even by the FJousc of Loyds.Thq present act in one of itVclanses states that banks\u2019 shall publish their net amounts due, overdue and so forth.There vyas no opposition tq this clause and the provision e given to the General Manager, the Inspector, the managers and other ofliocu qt tho bank, for their\u2019servicés during tlie past year.Ho said It is not necessary for me to say anything regarding these gentlemen, because their duties have been performed, under all circumstancesj a» vycffl as they possibly could 1(0.Mr.A.T.'Paterson seconded the motion, w\u2019hicli was unanimously adopted.Mr.W.J.Buchanan, the General Manager, briefly returned thanks.Mr.Hectqf Mackenzie moved :\u2014 That the ballot now open for the election of directors, be kept opcq until 3 p'clqçh l!fi\u2019 Icq» flftocji minutes hlapse without a vote l>eing caqt/whci) it shall fie closed, and until that tiiqe, and fqr this purpose only, this meeting bo continued, Mr.William Herring, of Quebec, seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted.On motion of Mr.John Morrison, Mr.John Crawford took the chair, when Mr.Morrison moved :\u2014 That the thanks of this meeting be given to our esteemed President for his conduct of the business of this meeting.Mr.Crawford,\u2019 in putting the niotiqi) to the meeting paid the President and Board of Director*! (V ncat compliment, remarking that were the power vestod nololy in him» he did not see that he could make any improve, ment in the composition of the Board from what it was at present.Ho also thanked tlie General Manager for his oourtesy.The motion Tiaving boon carried, Sir Donald Smith briefly acknowledged the compliment paid him.A formal adjournment then took place.The scrutineers reported the
