At the FOURTH HALF-YEARLY If METING of the Share
Bolden In this Company held at the Loudon Tavern, Bishops-
gate-street, on TUESDAY, the BOW May, 1065, the following
Report was presented :
The half-year ending December Slat hat has been one of unu-
sual risk and uncertainty to all banks connected with India.
the rapid decline In cotton. and depreciation in East India
produce generally. rendered It necessary for the Directors of
your Bank to act with extreme caution, and restrict the
bronchia in their operations, especially in the pureham of bills
drawn ligeltitt produce.
The high rates of discount which prevailed on this side from
June to December ithe Bank of England minimum having
ranged from 6 to I/ per cent.), not having been accompanied by
• corresponding Merest. in exchange nibs on England, were
also severely felt by Indian becks in dintinithing their profits on
such trantactiont.
The accounts now presented in the annexed statement have
been duly enditeil, and show a gross profit of 431.052 12s. 7d.,
inclmilog the balance brought forward from last half-year, after
deducting Interest on ourreet and fixed depotits. From this sum
414,061 tea. 3d. has been deducted for current expenses, and
412,00845. 11d. for rebate on bills and commiesiou on accept-
ances running, 0423 in. ad. for 6 per cent on preliminary ex-
penses, end 4301155. 2d. for Bunk Premiers Redemption Fund,
leaving • balance of 43,707 13e. vd. at the credit of profit and
lane
The shareholderswill not expect that the bank can have parsed
thrue,lll the exceptional period which has proved so disastrous
to many houses in the Indian trade, and during which all Indian
backs have suffered more or less. without being similarly af-
fected The actual hates on bill. unpaid during the currency of
the half-year ending the Slat December Met amounted to about
44.00. Since the above period, however, tomes have been in-
curred from the suspension of firms, which will, it Is estimated,
absorb tee sum at the credit of profit and loss and the reserve
fund, leaving 4.6.238 Cs. Id. still to be provided for.
During the present half-year Mr. lhortiton. Mr. Boyd, and Mr.
Worms have cent dto be Directors. The Board recommend that
only one of the vacanelea thus occaduned be filled up, and they
are taking steps with a view to a suitable selection.
The Directors retiring by rotation, Mr. W. P. Andrew, Mr.
Harry
Har Borrsilaile, and Mr. W. Dent, Jun., being eligible, offer
themselves for re-election.
The Auditors, Mr. W. Dent and Mr. J. E. Anderdon, who retire,
also offer themselves for re-election.
