TTNION' BANK OF AUSTRALIA; $ \J _ ' rs-S""*.^' - The. annual meeting of the shareholders; of | .Mb, Bank was held yesterday at the Bank - premises, Lothbury. ' - __ I Mr, Mewburn, the Manager, read the report ] of the Directors, as follow?: At this/the fortieth . annual meeting of the proprietors, the Directors J have pleasure in presenting a balance-sheet whi,6h testifies to the continued prosperity of the Bank. After ample provision for every bad < and doubtful debt, the accounts admit ot a divi-; dendof £1 10s., and a bonus of 55., per'share; being together at the rate of 16 per debt, per anuumupOh the Bbares forming the capital .of £1,250,000, and of adividend of 17s_6d. andabonus of 2s_6d, per share npon the new shares created under resolutions of the special meetings of pro prietors held on the 14th and 30th January last. It Will be observed that effect has been given to the resolutions passed at those meetings rela tive" to the augmentation of the reserve funds. Of the allotment of new shares in London, there remain, at this date, 1,167 shares not taken up,, and to be dealt with. Out of these the Directors,, in furtherance of the policy of extending the Bank's colonial proprietary, have .placed SUO Shares in the hands of the General Manager for Bale-in the colonies. The balance—viz., b_7 shares—they have decided to realise bymyiting tenders from proprietors registered on 29th June, the.enders to be opened on.3oth instant, ana, the allotments made to the highest _ bidders. The Directors bave great-satisfaction instating that the drought in Australia, for so long a .time the cause of great anxiety- and-loss,- has been succeeded by copious rains, a favourable season generally being anticipated, and that the price of wool ia the home markets is well sup ported. The purchases of freehold lands by squatters and others, combined with the effects of the late drought, have caused a strong de mand for money in the colonies, and the re sources of the Bank are fully and profitably em ployed. The' Directors having resolved, after due inquiries and consideration to extend the Bank's operations to the rising colony of Western Australia, the-General Manager has visited that colony, and branches have been opened at Perth and __ ork. The Directors have with much regret to record the loss, by death, of their valued and esteemed colleague, Mr.' Robert Carter, who for a period of 36 years was,a. Director of this institution. The vacancy has been. .provisionally -filled by, the. ;P if_# l?£?* J? 1 accdrdance-with the deed of settlement, by the, appointment of Mr. Arthur Flower, who now otters himself for election. Mr. Robert Alex anderßrookes, and Sir Henry Watson Parker, K.C.M.G , are the Directors who retire on this occasion, in accordance with the provisions ot the deed of settlement,'and offer themselve_rfor re-election. It is with - much pleasure , that the Directors have again to acknowledge the zeal and/ability displayed by Mr.TVlcMuUen and the • heads of the principal establishments both at home and abroad; and their special thanks are due to all the officers of the Bank on.this occa sion _!or the readiness end industry with which they have fulfilled their duties during a period that has required unusual foresight and exer tion. The balance-sheet presents a net amount of profit of £117,133 63. 6d. available for division, of which the dividend and bonus on the shares forming the capital of £1,250,000 will absorb £160,000, and the moiety thereof on the new shares will amount to £10,000— together £110,000 —leaving £7,133 6s. 6d. to be carried forward. The dividend warrants will be transmitted by post.on 2.nd instant, and the dividend and bonus will be payable in the colonies at such time as the General Manager shall fix after receipt of telegrams. . : Statement of liabilities and Assets—At the Branches, on the 31st December, 1877, and at the London Office, on the 29th June, 1877:— Liabilities.

Mewbukn, Manager. : - y ■■ R, Buckler, Accountant. Vr. The Chairman, in moving that the report be received and adopted, said he did not think it would be necessary for him to make many re marks either with regard to the report or to the figures which had been put before theim But on this the fortieth anniversary of thebanks existence, he hoped the directors would not be wrong in expressing gratification, in which he thought the shareholders would"join, on-the steady progress of their affairs. The dividend of 16 per cent., which had been'declared for some years past,' had been maintained, and in addition to that a moiety of that dividend had been paid. on the shares lately issued,,, though on the 31st December, up to which time the accounts were made-up in the colonies, that capital had not come'into working.. He was in : hopes that this being the fortieth anniversary of the bank he'should have been able to draw some comparison between the present and the earlier condition of the bank, but on-.looking at the old reports ho found that no mention w«s „ made of the amount of deposits. He supposed they had some, but perhaps so little that it was not considered necessary to bring them into account, and therefore he was unable to in stitute a comparison, so far, with the then positiori of tiie bank, and its position, at the - present'day. He could, however, institute a - complete comparison between 1875 and'sub- , sequent years, and he thought it would he seen from the figures which he was, about to cite that the bank had made good, progress since ihat time In 1875 the deposits were £3,913,496: in 18™£1,«05,256; in.1877, £5,542,415; and i % 1878, £6.733,380. He thought that was a gratifying report of the increasing working, andalsom- .• creasing popularity of the bank Then taking . the total liabilities .in.Tune, 187 ft they, were i £6,785,263 ; in June. 1876^ _J7,7K,680: in June, 1877, £9,055,612; and in June, 18/8, *10,13_,3b(.. Then with regard to the profits. In the year ending June, 1875, they were £201,717 AJa&t0 they were about thepame. £201,345 s in 187r_th«y had increased to £221,550; and in 1878, £237,765 With regard to the half-year which had been - just concluded, though the full details had not j yet reached them, they had telegraphic mfor- . mation from which they had every reason to believe that the accounts were fully as satis factory as those of any Drevioushalf year, if not q more so. With regard to the accounts which .... had inst been submitted to them, he begged to ~. assure them that every possible provision had been made for every bad or even doubtful debt. The accounts of the Managers of the different branches had been supervised hy Mr M Mullen in the colony, and since they had been sent here they had been subiected to a strict supervision by three gentlemen appointed for the Purpose, and who were thorougWy conversant with the business of the colony, ,a_^d every possible pro vision had been made for orY, .oratingenqy^that might arise. With regard' to future profits, though he did not wish to da.™P the antic-pa fjont?°of shareholders, yet he thought that



looking} at the. present state of business in the j colony.itwas right that he should express some apprehension that the.profits might notmaintain II -that proportion to the increase in deposits and liabilities,- which they had hitherto. _The com petition in banking not only between this bank arid those which like them had a head office ml London, \ but between this Bank and others which were purely local banks, had becomesp kden that the margin of .profits was much diminished," and though they had every :con fidence that they would be able to pay the usual dividend, it would be wrong to hold out an ex pectation that they would be able to pay a dividend in proportion to the increased amount of! deposits and general liabilities. In January, last the proprietors approved of the decision which had been arrived at .by the Directors to is_.ue new shares in order to increase the capital which it was thought might be profitrbly em ployed in the colony. Of the new shares 6.881 wSre taken up in London, and though they had not yet received full advice from the colony, yet they believed that in the colony also a similar response had been given to the offer made to them there. Some of the shareholders here, who held shares as trustees or executors, could not take up the new shares, but only 1,167 shares remained to be taken up, which was a gratify ing proof to the Directors that they were not wrong in issuing the shares at the price they put upon them. Of these 1,167 shares the Direc tors had in accordance with the wish expressed at the last meeting reserved 500 for allotment in the colony and the remaining 607 shares were -to be offered to the proprietors on tender, and letters inviting these tenders could be issued that day. With regard to colonial matters, from +he information they had received there was every prospect of Pa bountiful harvest. Ihe price of wool in the colony had improved, and as that was the staple article they had every reason to hope that the prosperity of the colony was assured.' Their Manager had .nought it desirable, after a visit to Western Australia, to open branches at Perth and at York. The board had unfortunatley lost the services of Mr. R. Carter, who had -been a Director for thirty-six years, and whose judgment and experience had .beenjof .great value to the bank. To fill the vacancy thus created they had appointed Mr. Arthur Flower, a member of the firm of P. VV. Flower-and Sons, who had for many years been ■most honourably connected with the Australian trade. In the management of a large banK like this a great deal necessarily depended on the prudence of the Managers in the colony and in t London, and he was glad to be able to say that in l-Mr. M'Mullen they had an efficient Manager in the Colony, and in Mr Mewbum an able Manager tin London, and that the stan: combined to show a great amount of zeal and industry. In fact he felt that no bank was better served both in London and the colony.



Mr. W. Botly seconded the motion. Mr. Balfour remarked that one_of the many causes of the success of the bank was that it was considered to a great extent a local institu tion. ' , In reply to a question as to how the reserve fund £127,023 was invested, , _ . The Chairman said £114,000 was invested in Government securities.- £187,000 in banking premises, and the remainder in the business of the bank. , •' . ,



The motion was then put and unanimously agreed to. The election of Mr, Fowler as Director was confirmed, the retiring Directors were re elected, and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the Directors and staff.

... i _'_..;' '' -'■"' - "' ' " - —! XirTHAT there is in VV women. The wise ones have already thought all my White, Blue, and Black Hamburg Net, and I have only some of the Brown left, in different patterns, and that is going fast top; and no wonder, when I am selhng it at the I ridiculous price of Is a yard. I have just bought a lot of Black, White, and Brown Hamburg. Trimming, and wiU sell it at 2d, 3d, and _d yard; so [don't be too late. The ladies tell me there isn't a man more talked of by them in Auckland than I am, and no wonder, when lam always buying them something nice. I only wish _ could get some more Shirt Fror.ts like I am now selling at 6d each. What would the Queen say if 'she saw my new lot of lovely Cuffs and Collars? I have plenty of the Collars, but the Culffs are going so fast that tbey will soon be all sold; Embroidery, 4d a yard; Ladies White St6ckings. 6d; a few Boys' Woolen Jackets left at 2a. I will now reduce my 6s Jackets to 4s, and my Is ones to 33 6d. Already about three parts of the Scarf Shawls I told you of are sold, and which measure 3 yards 7 inches long, and over 2 feet wide. If there are any married men. -who wish their wives to live a long while, and I believe there are some who do, let them prove it by treating their wives to one of these Shawls this cold weather.

They look like 18 carat gold, and if they are not I will give you your money back. I will now give your hus bands an inducement to take you out for a walk a little oftener by selling such handsome Wa_ch Guards at 2s each. All I need say about them, is that though " they may not be" more than 9 carat gold, they look as well as many that are 18 carat, and somebody loses awfully on tnem, I can assure you. As you ladies are fond of the beautiful, come and look at my immense stock ; of magnificent Belt Clasps, the highest price of ■ which is Is a pair. The small shopkeepers i should buy quickly my round booking Glasses . at Bd, is, and Is 6d per dozen; Silk Cushion Cord, 6ti per dozen yards; Slates, 3d; Towels, i 3d; fresh lot of Bog Oak Brooches, 6d each. I i want to see how many sensible tailors will come : and buy my CO inch Tape Measures at Id each, i worth 6d; my Liden Machine Thread at 6d a I 2 oz. reel, and my Tailor's Thimbles at 9d a doz., • worth 3d each. If all the women in Auckland _ were as sharp as my lady customers, I snoulan t i have any 200 yard reels of Glazed Cotton left to f sell at 8d a dozen, nor any 50-yard ditto to sell at L Id per dozen; but there are sure to be some _ stupid women in every country. My Ruche (different colours) is going well at Id a yard. I shouldn't be at all surprised but what some or • the ladies have been telling their husbands about _ my Men's superior Felt Hats at 2s 6d, as there - has been a great run on them lately. I have also some at 2s. Handsome Coloured Satin Fur _ niture Trimming, 6d per yard; Coloured Fur- Braid, 6d per dozen yards; Black and Green l Furniture Gimp, 6d per dozen yards; Black ? Bugle Dress Gimp, reduced to 4d per yard, f Isn't it a wonder ladies that I manage to live when I am continually reducing something for i* you.

I am selling Carte-de-Visites of the principal people in the world at lOd each or 83 a dozen ; Cabinet size, Is 6d each. What will the men do when all my Satin Scarfs at Is are all gone, audit will not be long, for I have already sold I , should think about 45 dozen. I shall want you j ladies to buy my handsome Belt Buckles at 2d to Is as soon as you can, as I have bought over 92 dozen. 1 have also bought about 80 dozen pairs of Bracelets, which I am selling 6dand 9d a pair, and they are beauties ; ladies high Button Boots, 5s 6d. Some ladies have sense \ enough to give me Is 6d for a good Umbrella, -1 but they don't all appear to have, Military I' Braid reduced to 4d a dozen yards. I will now 6 ' open a fresh lot of Chignons in separate boxes and sell them at Is. Ail tho others I now ,t reduce to 9d. I have also a great bargain in Ribbon at 1_ to 8d a yard ; do. nearly 3£ inches widel Is; black Vulcanite Chain, 9d a yard; green blue violet and drab Dress Gimp, 2d a yard; also green, blue, and drab Silk Fringe, 3d a yard, Come and see my handsome Black Hair and Hat Ornaments, from 3d to 9d; White Bed Lace, 6d a dozen yards. lam now selling the coarse Reels of Machine Silk that the ladies like at 2d or Is 9d a dozen ; 30 yards do, Is 3d a dozen or lid a reel; Shoemaker's Tape Measures, Id each ; Tasso Trimming, 2d a yai d; good size colored bordered Pocket Handkerchiefs, 3d each; good Elastic, 36yds for Is; black glass Dre3S Buttons, 2d a dozen ; largo Black Satin do, 4d; Colored do, 4d. Now lam not going to say that there is one bad woman in. Auckland, but .-.till I will say that some are a great deal better than others ; for instance I believe some ladies come and get their bargains of me as usual, and hug them all to themselves, not saying a word to their friends about the wonder - ful bargains they have bought, whilst the good, ladies show what they have bought of me, and tell the price they have paid, and so do good to those they know, including myself. I have a few Hawking Baskets cheap for those who are thinking of going into business. There is one ', advantage the ladies will gain by reading this advertisement over again, and that is they will o be able to write down what they wish to 0 remember.

Dear Sir,—l had suffered severely and mosl acutely from Rheumatism for many years; brought on, I believe, from exposure to al weathera in the exorcise of my calling. Foi yearS I could hot sleep at night, and waa unable to lie except in one position. Day and night] was full of excruciating pains, scarcely able tc move about at all; and as a natural sequence, my general health was also materially injured. I believe I suffered the pangs of Rheumatism, and its attendant evils, in every shape and form, and my life was almost a burden to me. I tried every remedy I could hear of, but without ob taining any relief whatever. The sum I spent in medicine.and medical advice was very con siderable, but of no avail, until I invested in a bottle of your ' Blood Restorer. I confess that I was not hopeful at all when I pur chased your .medicine, I: had tried so many specifics without.receiving the shghest benefit, but having determined to give it a fair trial, I carried'out my. intention. , I adhered strictly to the directions', and the res_.lt is that I am changed from a mere wreck to my [former self again—restored to health and vigour; and able to -drive daily through all weathers, and at all hours, if .occasion requires., I am sure you have never had ia ~ worse case to deal ■ with than mine, and although even now, in bad1 weather, I feel my limbs rather Tstaff, after Bitting on the-box for a leng time, I am a living example, of the almost miraculous curative properties (under. Providence) of-your now celebrated Blood Restorer. My friends tell me it is a duty I owe to my fellow creatures to send you this acknowledgement, and if it is the means of persuading. other sufferers to go and do likewise, I shall feel that this letter Is not written in vain. I have the more pleasure in giving this testimonial as it i 3 quite un solicited on your part.;. You are at liberty, of course, to make any use of this.—l am, air, yours gratef uUy, . ...;,■ ■•,;.- ._ HEHRY MAIDEN. To H. E. Hitchens, Esq., ; Auckland.'; ;. ; ; .
