 Several of our exchanges mention with pride the profits m de by the banks of their respective ,wns, the highest we have noticed equalng ab ut 20 per cent. The Commercial Appeal a few days since complimehted an Arkansas bank which had paid ten or twelve per cent. dividends. It over looked the Bank of Forrest Cily, which paid 10 per cent the first year, and carried S4 800 to the surplus fund, on a capital of Sl5 GOO, and the second year paid d dividend of 100 per cent. or in uther words matured the capital stock Of $50 GOO upon winch only Slo,000 had actually been paid m.
