In consequence of the great diminution of the profits of the
half-year ending on the 30th June last, occasioned by the de-
preciation during that period in the value of Government
and Indian Securities held by the bank, the directors have de-
termined that for the future the fluctuations on such securi-
ties shall be adjusted through the medium of the guarantee
fund, and it is expected that by this arrangement the future
Periodical dividends will be more nearly equalised.

compared with the rates current on the 30th June last, showed
a profit of £21,171 155., aid this sum has been carried to
the credit of the guarantee fund, which now amounts to
£220,369 18s. 11d.
