Yesterday the annual meeting of this company
was held at the establishment in Old Droad-street, City.
Mr. E. Divers, M.P., took the chair.
Mr. Prafir, the manager, read the report, which said
"The progress of South Australia in the elements of ma-
terial prosperity having continued, and its relations with
the commerce of this country most beneficially maintained,
the business of the bank has presented a very active and
sound appearance, while the operations connected with the
staple products of the colony have afforded ample proof of
the advantages that must accrue from their being continued
with vigour for the future. 'f he Court of Directors, how-
ever, view with anxiety the disturbance these important in-
terests are likely to suffer from the gold discovencs causing
I an eztensive emigration from South Australis, but they be-
lieve that the injurious effects will prove but temporary, and
that this new source of wealth in the Australian colonies
will eventually prove productive of considerable advantage,
both directly and indirectly, to South Australia. The in-
structions forwarded some months since to the manager at
Adelaide, it is hoped, will enable the hank to pees through
the crisis without material loss, while as regards the ac-
counts upon which the profits of the past year are based,
the local directors state that they have great plea-
sure 'in rmonling thtlr opinion that all the general
outstanding assets of the bank may be safely re-
turned as good and recoverable in full? It ap-
pears, from the profit and-loss account to the 31st of May,
that the balance of undivided profits ie 24,6111. 9s. 6d. In
declaring this amount sia the profit of the year, the court of
directors have thought it prudent to prepare for knees the
company may sustain from the present condition of the
colony, end have therefore passed to contingent account a
sum of 3,000 f. la conformity with the deed of settlement(
and charter, the usual amount of 10 par cent. (2,16114 on
the nett profits has been transferred to the reserve fund,
which, with the interest on the former amount, will now
eta rl at 10,1631. 15.. 10d. The nett profits after making
these deductions, will be 19,360/. 9s. fid., from which the
court of directors recommend for the ensuing year, a divi-
dend of 6 per cent.r annum, and a further animist
as account of profits for the year of 10s. per share : thus
being 8 per cent. for the year (clear of income tee),
whit& If ovallnaed, will be payable on the 16th
July and 15th January nest. After this dividend is paid
there will be an animist of undivided profits to the credit of
profit and loos, whisk the durreton suggest should remain
until the result of the year's operations is ascertained."
