ln reply to the interrogataries OF our cor
respondent, we take occasion to say that we
regret that he did not seek the information he
desires, from sources better acquainted with
the subject Of banking than ourselves. We
cannot, however, rs public journalist refuse
compliance, in giving our views, whatever
they may be worth, on this or any other
subject, iu which the public is interested.
We shall, therefore. endeavor to answer
briefly, the above in:errogatories, 10 their
order:
let. In regard to dividends, new Banks
seldom pay more than 8 per cent for several
years, as there are always some expenses To-
Cured in the organization and establishment
of new bank. Much will, Of course, depend
upon the management Of the Bank, whether
larger dividend will be paid at any time, il
even that figure is realised.
I'd. The demand for money, at this time,
enables those who desire TO make investments,
to do go upon bonds and mortgages, which
are undoubted securities, at rates as high as
s aud 10 per cent per annum. Securities OF
this kind, we regard as more desirable than
Bank stock, unless the men concerned in the
Bank have "back bone" and substance; or in
other words, plenty Of the 'rocks" to stand
up under pressure il the money market.
