A. balance sheet for the second financial year, has
been issued by the directors of the Anglo-Egyptian
Bank- They state that the result of the operations
of the establishment for the past twelve months has
been unsatisfactory. This is to be attributed to
exceptional causes, which may bereadily understood
, those who are conversant with the present state
of monetary affairs. The Bank, in conjunction
With other powerful parties, became contractors in
this
last fora loan to the Viceroy of Egypt, and
'his business provided great advantages ; but owing
to unavoidable delays, the war in Europe and the
extraordinary financial crisis, the total issue of the
scrip became impossible. The directors were there-
fere compelled to make a very serious sacrifice of
lectuities to maintain their position, and this has
resulted in a considerable loss. Nevertheless,
it Will be satisfactory to know that the
directors in Alexandria obtained from the Viceroy
tt signal favour, who took for his personal account
lieftriY half the loan at the contract price.

his Highness compensated the bank for part of its
bya grant of £50,000, and placed business in the
hands,, of the directors probably sufficient to cover
the deficiency. The directors also state that they
are desirous of reducing the liability of the share-
holders, and will recommend a measure with that
nleet in the ensuing month. The accounts will be
issued in the course of a few days. There is every
~_reason to believe that the capital of this company
virtually intact.
