The Union Bank.

PEP PRESS ASSOCIATION J London, July 28 At the Union Bank meeting Mr A. Flower, In proposing the resolution to withdraw £250.000 from the reserve fund to form a contingent account, said ho was sure the proposal must cmne aß a surprise. He did not nee how such a proposal, which proceeded, as tho report Btated from no Midden loss, or sudden an expeoted unfavorable development, could ev-M? como o'her than as a surprise. Nothing could have been simpler than for the dmebors to have gone on and avoided, for the present at least, any proposal of the sort while the matter depended on the view taken of very uncertain valueß, But the thought must from time to time have occurred to some shareholders, after all they had read and heard of the very great depreciation which had taken p'aotf m all classes of Australian" securities, that something of C^e sort mu»t seem advisable. jjfoer the moat oare'ul investigation into the aooounts m the colonies, against whioh the directors felb they would like to have some reserve made, the direotors wete m a position to agrea upon what sum was required to write down the bank's perennial advance business to what was believed to be the level of to-day. Hence they proposed to transfer a quarter of a million to the contingent acoounc. Of coarse they were aware such an opinion could only rest on estimate. They recommended this, particular estimate because every' detail had been most care fully examined by two separate bodies of men, who believed the auditors' recom mendation on the subject would show that the proposal was not unreasonable, and certainly did not err on the side of inadequatsness. He should be far from wishing to minimise the importance of BUoh a step, and it always seemed to him the only intelligent view to take of snoh a reserve fund as that of the Union Bank, for the greater part accrued from past profits, would be that it was intended to serve, not only as a strength to the bank In ordinary times, but also as a resource In very exceptional times, such as the present condition of the Australian business values is generally admitted to indicate. In the first place, the provision now asked embraced the whole business done m 1895 by the branches of the bank; m the second it was not made np of a few large amounts. Dealing with the present balance-sheet), Mr, Flower said the bank had liquid and immediately available resources of £9,657,000, or aboub 10a m the £ of its whole liabilities m London and the colonies, inclusive of some £1,600,000 of deposits, a large portion of whioh is fixed for periods of a year and upwards.

AUSTRALIAN

THE VTCTORLAST BUDGET. Melbourne, July 29 The Treasurer said that last year the railways showed a profit of £888,500 on their working, but counting in terest they were short by £362,500. He estimated the revenue for the coining year, excluding railways, at £4,073,000; the expenditure at £3,788,000; leaving a surplus of £290,000, of which £250,000 would be required m reduction of treasury bonds and the railway deficit. The railway revenue was estimated at £2,600,000, and the expenditure at £2,969,000. The total estimated deficit on the whole year is £79,000. He had deoided that it would be un wise to impose fresh taxation to make Up the deficit, and to alter the inci dence of the income tax would only result m a small addition to the revenue, while to submit the land tax would only be a waste of time, m view of the attitude of the legislative Council, without a direct appeal to the country. He proposed that the percentage reduction m civil servants' salaries should continue for two years more. It was intended to expend during the next three years over a million and a quarter on public works, including improvements m railway lines. £150,000 would be speut m developing the mining industry, and the money would be raised by local loans. The Supply Bill was passed.

WHAT IS THAT ONE THING ?

It seems like an absurdity, yet it is true al the came. I mean that you might have a cellar full of wood and coal and still shiver with cold ; and you would if it were not for one thing. * Oh, that is so obvious,' you may say. *It was hardly worth while to hint at it. Anyone oan Bee it with his eyes shut. All tha better for me then ; I shan't hare to ■ explain. And by the same, sharpness you will be able to pick out the important point m two short letters I am about to copy f or you. : The first runs thus : 'In December, 1800, my daughter, (Mrs M. J. Mutber) got into a , low, weak, nervous aondition. Do what she would she oould not get up her strength. Gradually she wasted away nntil everyone \ thought she was m a decline, and had not ; long to live. In fact, she was so low and de jected she did not oare whether she lived or not* She was under a doctor for six months, but his medicines did her no good. My husband then said, ' My daughter, I will now see what I oan do for you/ What he meant was that he would have her take a medicine called 'Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup.' He hnd used it himself when be was. ill, and thought ir might prove as benefioial to her as it had to him.

•Mrß Mather said ehe was willing to try the Sytup, although she bad little or no fai h m its helping one as bad as she was. For if she really had consumption we know there is no cure for that. My husband, however, got a bottle from Mr Holme, the ohemißt, m Rochdale Bold, and my daughter began taking it. After the first bottle we saw a great improvement. She could eat, and the food gave her no pain. She oontinued with this remedy, and gradually gained strength, but it took some time to bring her round, she was so very weak. After a time she wbb able to get about, and never looked behind her. Sinoe then Bhe has been strong and well. We have told many persons how Mother Seigel's Syrup restored her to Bound health, and are willing you should publish this statement of the facts. (Signed) (Mrs) Margaret Watson, 11, Ruby Street, Bury, Oat. Bth, 1895.' lln March, 1893,' says tbe second letter, ' I began to fail m healtb. I could not Bay ex fiotly what ailed me. I felt low, weak, and i'i'ed, and had no strength for anything. My appetite feli away and what little food I ata pave me great pain at ibe ohest and. side, My har,d3 and feet- were oold, and nearly all the oolour left me. I was often mso great pain I could hardly do auy work, I wan f''queut'y sick, and oould keep no kind of food down. * 1 I got weaker and weaker, m epile of all that was done, and Ie a-) to ba off my work f . r seventeen week 3. In this way I went on un til November of the some year — 1893, Tben I happened to read about Mother Seigel's Syrup and wbat it hid t?or.e for others suffer ing like me. I got a bo 1 tie of this m<>diojn» from Mr W. Hey wood, procer, m 0 dh<tm Boad, nnd after taking only tbe half of it I felt muob better. I could eat without pain, and w ; 8 stronger and brighter every way. When I had finished the bottlo I was quite cuied, and have had no reiurn of tbe com plaint »ince. I have told many others about what the Syrup did for me, and out of thankfulneFß I am willing my letter should be made public (Signed) Miss Lydia B. Morton, 1 Greaves Street, Middletoo Junction, near Maqoheßter, Ootober lOfcb, 1895.' Both these ladies Bay that they were very weak, aod that thtir fcoi — of which they oould take but little — did them no good. In the mirißt of plenty they were actually starv ing. So muoh wasted was one of them that it Wiß believed Bhe had consumption. Tbe event Bhowed that they both suffered from 1 dyspepsia, and nothing else. Bat that v.as quite enough ; and besides it often runs into consumption and other fatal maladies. By setting the stomach right Mother Seigel's Syrup fully oured them both. ; Goals and wood are useless without means to light a fire ; and broad and meat are bp nothing unless we can digest them and mako tbem part of our flesh and bone. That ie easy to see and important to remember. And it ig its power to help nature work this transformation that makes Mother Seigel'b Syiup so wonderful a remedy.
