For the half-year ending with June last the net
Profits of the National Bank were £78,350 13s 2d,
making the rest or undivided profits £622,240 6s 11d.
A distribution is proposed equal to 10 per cent. per
annum, payable on the 28th inst., leaving a balance
of £522,240 6s 11d. The directors regret that the
low rates of interest obtainable on first-class advances
render expedient a reduction of the rate of extra
dividend, but the directors have nevertheless pleasure
in referring to the preceding balance sheet to show
that the diminution of profit is not attributable to
any curtailment of the ordinary business of the
k, nor to any falling off in its resources.
The directors are confident that on a general revival
91' the trade of the country, and a consequent increase
14 the value of money, the bank will realise profits
in excess of the former rates of dividend, but in the
meantime they can only conduce to that end by the
n'ailY attention bestowed on the current business with
"tjiew to its safe and profitable extension. During
