AGRA AND MASTSRMAN'S BANK.
(THIS DAY.)

At a very numerously-attended meeting of the
shareholders and creditors of this bank, held this after-
noon at the London Tavern, Mr. Taomeos, one of the late
directors, in the chair, a resolution was unanimously 71,
agreed to expressing hearty approval of the pro- II
local for resuscitating the Indian portion of ht.
the business of the late bank. It was urged Z.'
that the shareholders could not otherwise get rid of their St.
liabilities to the creditors of the bank, and thus avoid gals, r,
and that there was • certainty of profitable business in es,
India, where sympathy with the company was general. IC.,
A committee was appointed to give effect to the proposal. fA
It appeared that the revived bank would begin with et
assets amounting probably to 800,0001., and with the irs..
view of raising the total amount to 1,000,0001. shares It.
amounting to 122,0001. have been subscribed.

at 1 o'zloek, at the London Tavern, Mr. HAR' GROWS 114.
GORDON in the chair, for the declaration of an interim
dividend for the half year ending Jane 30. 10

The CHIRP MasAoso (Mr. J. C. Fife Stuart read • iso
balance-sheet, from which it appeared that the net amount IA
of profits in the half year was 111,723/., and a dividend at it
the rate of H. 10s. per share would absorb 90,0001.,leaving, et
with the balance from the previous half-year, 26,8611.
12s. 9d. to be carried forward. fi
The CHAIRMAN observed that his only duty on that oe- EIL
clarion was to declare a dividend of M. 10s. per share, st
which was at the rate of 12 per oent. per annum. He St
congratulated the proprietors on this result, which, MK
considering the crisis they had passed through, ..
appeared to him very satisfactory. Their losses a•
were not serious. They had lost nothing by
the Commercial or the Asiatic Bank, and there would be es
no loss ultimately by the Agra Bank. The branches were Bt
all in good condition. He added that ample provision had It
been made for bad and doubtful debts.
A SHAREHOLDIR said that there was a report out of st
doors that a large amount was owing to the company from es.
()reread and Gurney's Bank. He wished to know whether St
that was true.
The CHAIRMAN replied that the bank never had any 1t
transaction, either directly or indirectly, with ()reread and is

Gurney's Bank.
On the motion of Mr. H. L. ANDZRBON, seconded by
Mr. J. A. ARBUTHNOT, thanks were voted to the chairman
and his colleagues, and the meeting then separated.
