Bank Diuidends. LIST inst. was one
of the semi. annual periods for declaring a
dividend by the Bank of the U. States
but no dividend is announced.
The Bank OF Virginia and the Farmers
Bank ofVirginia have agreed to make a
dividend Of II per cent. for the last six
months-being a suficiency only to pay
the bonus to the state.--The individual
stockholders get nothing.
The usual time for declaring dividends
by several Other Da.ks has passed, with.
out notice that dividend has been de-
clared.
In general, we are pleased with this

been made to depend upon expected pro-
