The present position of financial matters has stimulated many capitalists, as well as small holders of money, to seek investments in real estate producing income. In the country there is a disposition to invest in good agricultural land, with an intention to put it to its proper uses, and none but good results can follow therefrom. In making provision for doubtful accounts we have always recognised the importance of not delaying till the necessities for doing so were urgent. For many years we have foreseen that in a large\nd expansive business like ours, contingencies might arise, which would callWor special appropriation ; and the anticipation of these has made their effectaKelt in a lesser degree than if they had come upoii us without preparation. %* I may make a feil remarks on ' Bank Premisw Account.' It will be noticed - that there is a slights increase in the amount as fbmpared with previous halfyear. This is due tcVpayments for new buildinft in course of erection at our Southern Branch in rjtis city and at a few places^sewhere, but you must bear in mind, that in the gseater number of cases, themnd that we own was bough; many years ago, at 1 comparatively small costtti Moreover, it has been a , steady policy on the p»t of the Hank to reduce ttwamounts standing in our books by half-yearly wfttings-down out of profits, t^. result being that ' Bank Premises' now appears la thfr Balance-sheet at a very large sum below cost price and estimated prefteat market value. As a matter of fact, we have written off their cost suml aggregating £320,000. In cof.cldsion, I wish to%oint out that after all the trouble that has been experienced in the capitals <X some of the Colonies, the real substantial wealth of Australasia remains ; the many millions of sheep and the various products of the soil, and the mines, continue in existence, and will still form the basis of our export trade. Patience, economy, and calm consideration only are required to inspire conj fidence, arid I feel that the energy of our population will, with good seasons, I and satisfactory prices for our exports, soon restore all things to their naturally progressive condition.
