IN ANNUAL SESSION
Stockholders Meeting Held Yesterday
and it Was Followed by Meeting OF
Birectors-AH the Old Directors he-
elected With the Exception OF One.
Same OFFICERS Continue in Charge.

The annual meeting OF the stoch-
holders of the Carolina Savings ana
Trust Company was held yesterday
morning at II o'clock a. the banking
house on North Front street and the
reports of the officers Of the institu-
ton showed that it is enjoying me
period of prosperity and that the prog
ress of the bank has been satisfactory
and steady. This youngea; OF the
Wilmington banking institutions
stands upon substantial Iolndaton
and the success that has been attain
ed reflects great credit on the conserv-
ative and progressive management OF
the officers.
The stockholders meeting was call
ed to order by Mr.. s BehTenSs, with
Mr. J. o. Reilly acting as secretary,
and it was reported that 292 shares out
of the 500 shares of the bank were
represented.
President John s. Armstrong then
read his annual report and it was lis
tened to with marked interest. TIE
report was as follows:
To the Shareholders Of the Carolina
Savings and Trust Company.
Gentlemen:
1t gives me pleasure to submit my
second annual report as president of
you rcompany. Since our organization
in September, 1905, the bank has stead
lily grown so that today our total re-
sources amount to over 100000 and
our undivided profits are more than
$4,000
The directors have been untiring in
their efforts to build up the business
of the bank and have devoted consider
able time to its management.
The loan committee appointed by the
directors have endeavored to place
every safeguard around our loans
This committee examines the loans
monthly and reports to the directors at
their regular meeting thus keeping
them in touch with the work of the
bank.
We have endeavored to be conserv-
ative and have refused a good many
loans offered simply for the reason
that applicants were not satisfactory in
the way of security or for other rea>
sons but in no instance have we refus-
ed to lend customer money when his
security was satisfactory and his ac
count warranted the accommodation
During the past two years we have
loaned S2,189.475.22. which is good evil
dence that we have been a factor il
promoting business and the upbuildng
of our community.
We have been fortunate so far in not
having a loss. We have charged off
furniture and fixtures amounting to
about $4,000 and have placed $2,O50 0C
from our profits to Offset possible loss
With the interest and efforts Of our
stockholders and directors we should
be able to make q still better showing
in the future. We believe that Our
bank offers as safe place for the Sc
curity of deposits as any institution in
the south.
Then the following expert report was
made Of the banks condition and tie
figures tell al interesting and highly
gratifying tale:

THE MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, Feb ia variety of
favorable developments were opera
tive in the stock market today, caus-
ing general Improvement in prices
and in the sentiment of the financial
community. American railway shares
were strong and active in London and
closed at the best prices of the day
at that centre. A feature both in
London and locally was the continued
buoyancy of the copper shares and
close observers, who are advocates of
an advancing stock market, expressed
satisfaction over the action of the So
called Hill stocks today
1t has been subject of comment
recently that those issues had not
sympathized with the rise in the gen
eral list. Great Northern today rose
over points, and Northern Pacific
over 8 points, as compared with Mon
days final figures. London purchases
in this market were estimated at full
ly $4,000 to 10000 shares. The sharp
advance in Rio TintoS abroad found
response here in an extreme gain of
over points in Anaconda, to a new
high record. Union Pacific, st. Paul,
Reading, Amalgamated Copper, and
other stocks touched new high fig
ures on this rally from the extreme
low prices current week OF Two ago.
Extreme gains ranged from / to 8
points.
The news of the day bearing upon
prices included the satisfactory COM
pletion of the London settlement,
lower rates locally both on call and
time, an advance of 10 per cent by
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany in salaries Of employees, and a
good demand on Russian and eonti-
mental account for our wheat.
The most important influence in
shaping bullish sentiment having gen.
eral scope, however, was the increas-
ing confidence Of impending effective
financial remedial legislation. A
feature OF the market was its Tesist-

ency, prices recovering from reac-
tions, due to the inevitable profit talj-
ing at level, showing gains of / to
points from the lowest figures Of the
recent downward movement. The
market was active and the distribu-
ton of business fairly good. Pur-
chases of the copper shares, st. Paul,
Reading and Union Pacific were es-
pecially confident. The stock market
closed strong, at slightsfractionsl re-
cessions from the best prices.
