The profits of the banks on Nov g. 1877. were

deposits results from the withdrawal of large
deposits on account of Limitation of interest on

Sum total. .... $29, 142 1852 "a $27, 19O,351 II
The foregoing table shows a decided and
commendable gain in the proportion of strong
and safe securities in the banks over those Of
last year-a decrease in railroad and corpora
ton bonds, and stocks and loans on the same,
and real estate mortgages. and an increase in
United States, State, county, city and town
bonds. The percentage of expenses in the
management of the banks is small fraction
over ope-fourth of one per cent. Six of the
sixty banks have not declared dividends the
past year. Fifty four have declared and paid
semi-annual dividends at the following rates,
viz: three per cent; IL three per cent and
two and one-half per cent; two and three
fourths and two and one-half per cent; 9 two
and one. half and two per cent; two per cent.
There has been wide disagreement in the
construction of the law relative to the
right to pay interest to any one deposition
for any amount of deposit over $4,000
that was on deposit when the new law vent in
to effect. and the Examiner recommends such
amendment as will prevent such difference of
opinion. The Examiner also recommends an
increase in q. s. bonds held by the banks till
one-fourth of the deposits at least, are thus in
vested; that preference be given to bonds of
New England states and municipalities over
those OF the west; that investments in real es-
tate be reduced; that the recent law be so
amended as to increase the reserve fund to 10
per cent. of the assets and compel receivers to
report to the bank examiner, whether appoint-
ed under this or former laws; also reduction
of one fourth of one per cent in the rate of tax
alton.

Of Friends at Mount
FIe8ssauI

There was large meeting of .'Friends'' al
Mt. Pleasant yesterday. Their Yearly Meet
ing commenced on Friday and will continue
until next Thursday. Yesterday was the re-
llglous feature of their annual meeting. The
week days are largely devoted to business.
Delegates were present from wide range of
territory, as far East as the Valley of Virginia
and as lar West as Michigan and Indiana
Quite number of persons were in attendance
from Wheeling and Bridgeport. Among those
who took part IN the exercises yesterday were
Preacher Livingston, of Ireland, linen man
ufscturer and man of wealth, who is a sort
of lay preacher, and Walter Robertson, of
England, both intelligent and cultivated
speakers. MIR. Livingston chanted his ad
dress, which was quite a novelty to most per-
sons present Rev. David Talum, of Cleve-
land, also addressed the meeting. No one of
the speakers, however, aroused more interest
on the part of the audience than Rev. David
Updegraf, of Mt. Pleasant, whose fame us u
preacher is extensive all through this region
OF country, and who is everywhere known for
his great Zeal as an exhorter. His remarks
yesterday produced a decided effect on the
large audience.
Although some 1000 persons were in at
tendance yesterday, yet they were all COM
fortably cared for at dinner time. The friends
OF the town threw open their doors and were
unbounded in their hospitality. Many of
them from the surrounding country brought
their we'll filled baskets with them and pic
nic'd under the trees amid which the large
Meeting House" is situated.
noticeable feature of yesterdays meeting
was the absence of old style Quaker costume
among the brethren and sisters Although
they still keep up the ''thee and thou" style
OF address, yet their other sort of dress has
conformed more to the world, and the rising
show manifest disposition to fall
into the customs of the heather in the matter
'f clothes.-[ [Intelligencer, Monday.
