The Chairman : Gentlemen,—lt is again my pleasing duty to submit for your approval and adoption the report and balanco-sheot which have just been read. Notwithstanding tho unfavourable in fluences (to which I will hereatter refer) under which business haR been carried on during the past six months, wo are able to put bofore you a statement of profit which, though not proportionately as good as some which have preceded it, will, I am suro, bo considered satisfactory. We are able to maintain our dividend and bonus, and to carry forward tho rospectable balance of £13,405 0s 4d with which to commence tho now half-year. Had we been intent on the mere swelling of, our Profit and Loss Account, it would have been a vory easy matter to do so by raising our advanco rates ; but, recognising tho difficulties with whioh traders gonorally havo had to contend, wo have considered it better policy not to increase rates beyond what affords a reasonable margin of profit, as wo fully recognise that the prosperity of the bank depends on that of its customers, and in the existing condition of business we do not consider transactions will bear heavier rates than those now current. With a view to lower lending rate 3we would gladly have aided in the reduction of de posit rates, but have been forced to main tain them at the level of those current in Australia, where theio has boon consider able pressure for money, nnd there appears at present little prospect of any oarly relaxation. Tho figures in the balance sheet present some noteworthy features. There is a slight contraction in the circulation, attributable to the general absence of activity in tho retail trade of tho colony. Exchange trans aotipns, under the heading "Bills 1 ay able in Circulation,' show, as ia customary at the corresponding season of the year, a considerable increase on the balance as exhibited in last statement. There has been an incvoaso of over a million In deposits and,other liabilities, due, in some measure, to'the operations of the Go. vernment account. Tho immediately avail, able resources of the Bank, as exhibited in the first five items on the credit sido, con tinueamplefor every requirement, lhe bills discounted and other debts duo to tho Barm show an increase about equivalent to that in deposits, and the landed property and Bank premises have been increased by £12,000, chiefly due to tho necessary alterations at Head Office, and to fitting up premises at Adelaide, where theßank is now in operation, and witli promising prospects. As far as the business of New Zealand is concerned, we ara still contending with the result of past over-importing—our stocks, as a rule, feeing yet much too heavy, but tho break long since applied is fast telling, and it may reasonably bo anticipated that importers will soon be relieved of the fixtra weight they have for bohib time been carrying. Tho prices of wool and wheat are exceptionally .low, and, in addition, ftgricultnrista have liad the further dis advantage of a partially unpropitious season, which will render the general average of farmin" operations throughout the colony unfavourable. As against these discouraging features, we notice the rapid development of' tlia export trade ;n frozen meat, which is becoming an important factor in the transac tions of tno colony, and wo have, further, the establishment.of numerous dairyfactories, which in their operations give fair promiso of being a permanent feeneht to formers. A considerable amount of capital continues to flow to the colony, our population la rapidly increasing, and full employment « obtain, able for every class of labour, and at highly remunerative .rates. Aroid some discourage ments, thereto*, we ore not without good ground for having full faith in tho future of the colony. Seasons which have now been persistently adverse for three years sue not Hksly to continue so; the staple products of the colony, wool and wheat, having almost reached a price equi valent to cost of production, any change is likely to be for the better j and refrigera tion and dairy factories, it may reasonably be hoped, will materially enhance the in come 7rom land, BRd so increase ,ts value and the prosperity of jts occu, oante. • The general outlook at pre sent auggosts caution, and we aro duly exercising it, but at the stwe twne we are extending ft liberal support to every de ™ng industry, confident that such con tinued policy will conduce to the best, interest* of both theßank and >te valued - customer... With these remarks, I beg to move the adoption of the report and balance-sheet as read, < Applause ) i The motion was seconded by Mr bAjiCEL BbowkinO; and carried iwtlcon. ' Mr Joseph Howard :- Gentlemen,— After the general manager's statement; apu the Chairman's speech, Ineeday but little in nrnnosine a hearty and cordial vote of thanks foXdifecto's, officers, and agents, for tho able manner in which they have watched over the affairs of tins institution. The bringing forward of such -results .as are state! in this balance-sheet are, indeed, something extraordinary. They are in, Bering year by year, and if the progress continues at tke same rate m the future it will prove to be somothing astonishing, It must be a source of grea* gratification to all of us to see how this institution fa handled by these gentlemen It must .cer tainly cause them great anxiety and con tinued care. (Applause. I have therefore muchpteE»«finmoving the vote of thanks to which I have already referred. , Bey Shiblky Vf, Baker-: I teg fn^econd the resolution.

W6 hope that as long as wo are spared and continue to have the conduct of affairs hoi c, we shall be 'entitled to a vote similar to that with which we have been honoured m the past. At all eyents, the shareholders may feel confident that the endeavour of the Board will be to merit it. (Applause.) Mr D L. Moe&ogh (general manager) ? Gentlemen.-It affords" roe very great pleasure, as the mouth-piece of the staff, to return you their grateful thanks for fcfes appreciative vote with which you have favoured us! And on this, the Motion of the first meeting in the new Board-w»>rt r for the discomfort of whiol* some apology is due to you-I might bo allowed to express the hope that as many favflurable reporfcs will be presented to you in it as there have been in the room that-we have just vacated. At ail events, jm may rest assured that the b.est efforts of the staff will be directed to produce such results, and, although it would be most unreasonable to expect that the course pf the business of the Bank should be in

unbroken sunshine, yet I have too great faith in the elasticity of tho colony to be lievo that any doprossion from which we are at present suffering can be more than temporary, and all tho moro, as it is dis tinctly traceablo to special causes, as re ferred to in the Chairman's speech, which wo jnay reasonably expect will soon pass away. The business of the head office during the last six months has been conducted at very great discomfort to the public and to the stall', but 1 trust that long before we again meet the alterations will be completed, and that you will acknowledge that the arrangements are entirely satis factory, and that you have a banking-house second to none in the colonies. (Applause). Again, gentlemen, I have great pleasure in thanking you for your vote. Tho scroll minutes wore then read and the meeting dissolved.

ADDRESS BY MAJOR ATKINSON.

(BY TELKORAPH, —PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Dunemn', Thursday. The Hon. Major Atkinson addressed a crowded meeting in the Queen's Theatre to night, Tlio Mayor was in tho chair, and the Hon. Mr Rolleston was among thoso on

tho platform. Major Atkinson' said ho came, boforo them a dispirited man. It had been said that the Government were a Government of Centralism, and that ho was tho chief apostle of it ; and Mr Mont gomery more than onco had pro fessed to havo just found out that he (tho speaker) was a " hollow financial sham." But Mr Montgomery might find out that in suite of his hollowness lie could stand a pood deal of knocking about. He would begin by directing their attention to the expenditure of money raised on loan under tho Immigration and Public Works Act sinco IS7O. The sum borrowed had been 10.-J millions, and he would tell them how that sum had boon spent. Up to March 31, 1883, thoy had spent two millions on immigration, and in his opinion if they had spent more in that way they would not now have to complain of so much depression. They had spent about 17 millions on public works, generally on theso items : Railways, lOg millions; roads, 2 millions; public buildings (including schools), £1,200,000 ; land purchase, £925,000; works on gold fields, £50,000; telegraph extension, £400,000. Of the total sum, they had spent £G,9U0,000 in the North Island, and £10,350,000 in the South. Now, taking the mean population in both islands, tho pro portion should have been £0,550,000 in tho North Island, and £10,700,000 in tho South. This omitted all considerations of the Maori population, go that, on a population basis, the North had got about tKOO.OOO moro than its fair share out of a total of 17i millions. Ifo asserted that an impartial oxamina tion would establish tho fact that ovory penny of tho expenditure on the railways and roads of tho colon} out ef borrowed money had been a wise and propor ex penditure, and he would show them one or two of the indirect advantages from the Public Works scheme. Last year on the railways of the colony thoy had carried forty-five and a-half millions of tons of goods a distanco of ono million miles. The cheapest possible cost of moving those goods by cart would havo been two and a quarter millions. The aotual cost by rail was a little over half a-miilion. In such in direct advantages alono the wholo of tho in terest paid on the public dobt of the colony was more than covered. Thoy had carried on tho railways of the colony last yoar forty two millions of passengers the same dis tance, whaas carriage if moved by coach would have been well over two millions, wheroas by railway it was a little over half a million. Then it had been further stated that the Government were a corrupt Govern ment. Befere he (Major Atkinson) took office there had been ton millions out of the total of twenty millions borrowed, and tho amount that he was responsible for borrow ing, or for recommending to bo borrowed, was less than six and a-half mil lions, and of that two millions were not yet raised, bo that loss than four and a-half millions was the amount ho was responsible for. Now, Mr Montgomery's friends, while they had been in office, which was about a third of his term, had asked authority to borrow seven and a-half mil lions, and this sum had actually been raised. Theso were the facts. Now lie would speak about tho present depression. He had been accused of saying at Hawera that there was no depression. This was a mistake, which arose through an unfortunate condensation of his remarks. Ho said had there was no depression in tho colony which should make us doubt the financial soundness of the colony, or that affected the spending powers of the people to aijy appreciable extent, and was prepared to maintain tljis opinion against all-comers. Jt was quite true thst trade was bad, and why was it bad ? He would tell them why, and ho would tell them that the Govern ment were facing tho difficulty. They had dared to jtell tho people of the colony that they wore borrowing too largely and spend ing too lavishly. Tho fault .of the .Govern monjt was, not that it was a wastefujand ex travagant Government, but that it was an .economical and careful Government. (Hisses and applaus.o, and ponderable inter ruptions.) yes, thatwasitsrealfa.ult. They haa dared to face tho position, and to say that for the future so much should not bo spent out of loans or out of consolidated revenue. The colony had been spending two millions a-year out of bprrowed money. Then everything was flourishing, trade' increased and traders increased. They had too many traders. Now tho Go yermsent had curtailed borrowing, and cer tain private monetary institutions had done thesame thing, yet their traders had gone on importing quite aa much as before. In this way the colony found iteelf spndjng away one million, or a million and a-half a year more than it had been doing before, and so, in a nutshell, here lay one of the principal causes of this depression. Speaking of the remedies proposed, ho said the first was to kick the Government out of office. That was very easily determined. They had only to say that it should bo done and so it would. If they asked his opinion, ho would say it would be very unwise in deed. Another remedy proposed was to stop borrowing. This, howeyer,woulddonogood, but only land thorn in greater difficulties than th,ey wore in at present. The third remedy proposed was an alteration of the Constitutioni He sa>y thatin Dunedinthey had formed wliajr they called a Constitu tional Association. Wijat jt proposed to do was to decentralis.o tho Gov'ernnjent vyjth the view of increasing the powers of the local bodies. Now he cjaimpd to have done more for local government than any other man in New Zealand. What was proposed by the persons opposed to him was that there should be so many more centres ,to oxercisp the powers which the General Government at present exercised. It seined to 'him tliata better remedy would fae'to renew their faith in themselyes and their 'oouijtry. 'Turning out the Government, altering the Constitution, and stopping'borrowing, though very heroic piaj)2 jio doubt, would not answer tho pur pose. What they would have to do would be to work and to economise. In'conclu sion he would say that the prosperity of the colony depended on the people them selves -on' tho wooing class.es. They had political power, a.ncj jt remained for them to use it in a proper manner.—4 .arge nur.'ber of'questions were asked, tho meot ing lasting (tilf minutes to twelve.- Mr moved, "fnafi Major Atkinson fc= granted a vote of thanks for his audrpss,/ -Mr Robsbotbam moved, as an amend ment, ■" That tho smaber be thanked for his address, but that this meeting ha? jig confi dence in Me administration of the govern ment of New Zeaia.*d.''-The Mayor, amid sorfn'sion, declared the motion c^mh
