The National Provincial and…
The National Provincial and Union Bank of England, Ltd. Lord Inchcape, presiding at the annual general meeting held on Thursday in London, said that in 1914 the trade of this and every other country was prosperous and progressing. The military party in Germany unfortunately broke loose, and thought they would by force subjugate the world. It had taken the Allies 4j years to prove that Germany was wrong, and now she was a stricken State with internal dissension, her militarism broken, her Navy non-existent, and her finances in chaos. She had been the means of the sacrifice of millions of lives and the destruction of thou- sands of millions' worth of property. She had set back the clock of Europe for a generation, and her own for a hundred years. Now that the war was over, we had to put our house in order, to start to a great extent afresh, and by dint of hard work and economy we would win back to where we were in 1914. The fJBlicy of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to issue National War Bonds in- stead of Taking a Loan was continued all- through 1918, and up to the 18th of last month the total applications amounted to the gigantic sum of over £ 1,600,000,000. This Bank's applications for National War Bonds on behalf of their customers amounted to some- thing over seven per oent. of the total, or £ 113,000,000. Referring to the amalgamation with the Union of London and Smiths Bank, he aid that everything was working per- fectly smoothly, and to-day the deposits of the combined institutions exceeded £ 200,000,000, while the Reserve Fund stood at £ 4,850,000. In view of the increased deposits, the directors had felt it necessary to take pawer to increase the nominal capital of the Bank from £ 36,000,000 tc fL51,000,000 in 250,000 shares of £ 60 each, and it was now proposed to issue 131,093 of these shares, 130,402 of which would be offered to the existing shareholders at £ 24 per share with £ 12 paid up. As the shares at present were worth ;E34 to £ 36 in the market, he had no doubt they would all be applied for. The premium on the sharei would amount to £ 1,573,116, which would then be £ 7,050,000, and the Reserve Fund £ 6,423,116. Within the last few weeks the directors had had the opportunity of acquiring the business of the Bradford District Bank, which had a valuable connection in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The terms had already been mentioned in the Press. Some time ago there was an outcry against bank amalgama- tions, and fears were expressed that a great money trust might be formed with the object of squeezing the public. Stich an idea never entered the mind of any Bank director or Bank manager. It would be positively suicidal for the amalgamated institutions to curtail the assistance they had hitherto as separate concems rendered to the public, and UkeJy to occur. If it did, the buamen of the as far as his judgment went, this was not banks would be curtailed, dividends would things that either directors or managers not be maintained, and these were the last desired. New banks would spring up, fresh minds would come to the fore, capital would be forthcoming, and if the great Joint Stock Banks became too conservative, they would find themselves out in the cold. There was no shortage of credit facilities in this country for men with sound propositions. They were not, however, disposed to finance wild-cat schemes of adventurers who had nothing behind them. Not only was our system better adapted to our more varied needs and our world-wide and far-spread re- sponsibilities and interests, but it was a more scientific and more highly developed system than that of Germany. A year or two before the war the three leading banking groups in Germany had their representatives on nearly 400 trading company directorates. This way of doing things entailed enormous risks and liabilities; it led to the erection of a huge superstructure on a very shaky foundation; it meant trading on the na/rrowest of narrow margins; and it implicated industry and finance in national and international pojfitics to such an extent that those might not 1* far wrong who believed that the war was partly determined upon to save a top-heavy edifice from crashing to the ground. He did not see the least reason why British banks should be tempted by Germany' s example or by her present fate to abandon their sounder, more prudent, and in the iloni run far more effec- tive policy, methods &nd conceptions. The work of demobilisation was proceed ing, indus- try was gradually-perhaps too slowly-being freed from control, but this he hoped would now be speeded up, as until all control was abolished and we were freed from the irritat- ng restrictions of red tape the trade of the country could not make headway. There could not, however, be any real improvement so long as the excess profits duty remained on its present level. He expressed no opinion as to whether it was financially possible to repeal it at once, but unless this crushing handicap oa efficient production was quickly abandoned a ltoget her, it was useless to expect British trade to bound forward, or indeed to make any progress at all. As regarded the financial future of these islands, the outlook was not promising. It was difficult to say what revenue would be required when things were squared up te meet the expenditure, together with the interest and sinking fund on the debt, but a moderate estimate must be in the neighbourhood of 600 or 700 millions annually. The position could only be met by the most rigid economy, and he was afraid even with tkis we should be under a heavy burden of taxation for many years to come. If the British Government was to meet its obligations in the future as it had done in the past, if the country's credit was to be main- tained, we must live within our inccvne and not on our capital. The report was onaniiaously adopted.

!Our Poultry Column.
Our Poultry Column. ORPINGTONS. Throughout the whole of the poultry fancy there is none more widely known than the Orpington. There is a variety of colour, so that anyone can please their own taste, and yet each colour has many good points which recommends it to all new breeders. Yet some are decidedly better than others in the matter of laying, the result of carelessness in mating and not paying enough attention to those points which make up a layer. The principal colours are the Black, Buff, White and Blue, the Black being the first on the market, although the Buff soon followed. Although they have the same character and body shape, the Black is the most massive and usually the best feathered. With their deep broad chest and great length of feathers on the thighs. they look very handsome, and soon attract the attention of the novice. Then the Black is really a beetle green with as much lustre as possible, which forms a striking contrast to the sherry red of the face and comb. But this colour could not be recommended as a good layer, because the breeders have not paid enough attention to the utility side, but gone more for size and feather. Such breed- ing soon spoils any variety, for although the fancier may keep them going, the man who wants eggs soon leaves them for something more useful. All the Orpingtons are very comfortable looking. The amount of feather which they carry, and being docile in disposition, it makes them look very contented when on a run. Without doubt the most popular is the Buff, and it is a colour which can be found all over the world. Being so good for all- round work, it is kept on the faTm and by the smallholder. They will stand a good deal of rough weather and almest any situation, but do not succeed on heavy clayey soil, unless they have a roomy house where they can be kept inside and fed on all the bad wet days. As chickens they are hardy, and can be reared if any sort thrive; while they also grow fast and soon make a big frame. The Buff Orpingtons are best for table when about sij months old; then they have developed the frame and put on some meat, and, of course, the weight is great. With good hens and a moderate sized cock the eggs turn out well, and the hatching should be good. When mating up a breeding pen, don't select just layers. You should make sure that the hens have straight breasts as well as the cock, and for size, for as a rule the big ones are bad while being deep in front they must also be wide behind, otherwise you will not get many eggs. If breeding with the hope of gaining prizes later on, you must also pay attention to colour, and then have size. The biggest chickens are bred from good big second-year hens and a cockerel not too big to be clumsy, but active and vigorous, with a rich sound colour. A bird of this type will manage six or eight hens, and every egg should be fertile but see that he keeps up his condition and feeds well. When he goes off his grub you can rest assured that he will soon fail to fill the eggs, and then there is a waste of time and eggs. Buffs have for a long time made big prices, and I do not doubt, now that the shows are coming back, they will fetch as big money as ever. The man who thought show stock had aiM been killed off will see eome of the best still left, if nothing comes in between to prevent the holding of the great autumn events. Though not so popular as the Buff, the White is said by many to be an excellent" layer, and even better than some of the much puffed up varieties. They will lay well when eggs are scarce during the winter, and this is always a consideration when taking up a breed. Much depends upon the strain for laying, but here again do not take the biggest when mating up a pen just for eggs. These birds so often in the show pen shew a lot of cream colouring, and yet when out on the run they may look snow white. A white bird should be white and not shew any trace of straw colouring, although the cocks often fail in this respect. In spite of all, the White Orpington is a good fowl, useful alike for the utility breeds as well as the exhibitor.
