THE advantage to depositors with this Bank is JL that they receive interest at a fixed uniform rate every six months, which by many is considered preferable to the fluctuating rates of interest bankers usually allow, and this Bank having a large number of depositors who prefer private individual enterprise, and a steady rate of interest to limited and such com- panies, paying sometimes a large rate of interest to shareholders only, the Principal is hereby enabled tat ntimate that this Bank pays permanently interest aa ollows :— ON MONEY DEPOSITED For 12 months, six per centum per annum. For 2 years, seven-and-a-half ditto. For 3 years and upwards, eight ditto. Seven days notice of withdrawal of deposits over X100, but arrangements can be made that deposita may be withdrawn immediately. CUSTOMERS. On current balances arising, tive per centum per an- num interest is allowed, when the balance in hand runs over a month. Moreover, this Bank offers most reasonable facilities to parties having trade accounts here for over drafts upon very equitable terms; and is especially of great benefit to that class of business where acceptances are taken, as the Bank discounts bills of large or small amounts for customers and others. BILLS ADVISED In due course, or by noting or telegram. Dividends, Pensions, and Annuit'es collected. Customers' Secu- rities taken charge of, and all other banking business transacted upon equitable terms. TO FARMERS.
