Since these accounts were made up, a dividend at the rate of
8 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the Bank, and
an extra dividend of lee. per share, together L 2 a share, have
been declared ou the 50,000 shares which constitute the Com-
pany's capital . awl the same are now payable at the Headothce
and Branches of the Company. The dividend 830 extra dividend
now payable for the hall-year ending 31st December, 1006, amount
together to 310,000.
The Directors desire to state that the decrease in the profits of
tl half-year is chiefly due to the fact that they deemed it
prudent, in face of an extremely exceptional state of public
credit, to maintain larger actual cash reserves than were deemed
requisite in former years, and which were two:lawny wholly
unproductive.
Another circumstance must In noticed as affecting the amount
of profits. The return of commercial and financial case in Orcat
Britain had scarcely been felt, before the Fenian excitement a
eecond time manifested itself In Ireland, in consequence of
which, prudence again dictated to the Directors to send extra re-
mittanceark to their depots, at a comdderable expense and
loss of Interest.
The Directors, however are gratified to state that before the
close of the year the excitement had completely passed away,
and gold has commenced and continues to flow hack steadily.
The deposits of the Bank have increased 3346,570 in the lest
half-year.
