' - V V' ' ' , A a Of Aiti of the PresMent and JDirrctorj of the PatiVof thVu; State, on the 2d Jul ji 1821, the following port Was adopted : . ' . , j , . : The Committee appointe'd on the 27th 5 ultimo to'conftrfer he state of the Bank, and to report whether nnjr.andif any , vjkt . djTidrrd should be-roade of -the Irofit 'which hae accrired daring the ast fix months, respectfullyC ; v REPORT,; CO f That on exammJniptne-atcoonti cf the Bank, it appears that the - amount receive d cn account of discounts, ex change and interest sirce the 1st day of January last, is 551.011.305 1 4. ui mis sum. however. 54,739 S9 has been rpceiy- cd on account of Interest which had pre viously accrued, leaving 956565- 75 as the sum Vfhich has accrued and been re rWed durine the last six months. But, o-iv iirrnratflv the . current profits ,of the half year, to this sum must be added the semi annual dividend about to be de dared, vhich the bank is . entitled to re tain, on '37.513 shares of its own capital stcck, which it -holds as a pledge, and which have .been transferred, jiccording to the Instruments of. hypotheoitieQ, to the President. Directors &Xo. . The expenses of the bank aid the offi ees during thW same period, the usual il lowance for the extinguishment of the bo-. nusandcther.Semi-annual appropriations, amount to. the sum of two .hundred and eighty thousand, ctght hundred and twen ty-nine dolls, sixty-c-ne'ecnts 280,329 61 which being deducted, will leave a ba lance that would authorise a dividend of two per cebL and give; a surplus of . '50,761 46.;'... 1 ; ' ":. '-y.' :-i . The committee are, however.decidedly . of opinion, after very mature deliberation, thatJt is the duty of the board-and the soundest policy of the bank, to make, at this particular time, a smaller dividend than two per cent. The firstreat point in the management of the bank, is to re- move all doubts as to the re-establi.shment Jcf the capital. It is not enough that it be made whole. The stockholders ahd the public must be satisfied of the tict, for otherwise the one -will hot hold and the .other will nnt acquirewith confirfence, and like all uncertain interests; the value oi tivr-attck must be dlmtnlshcd m the. cstin ation both i f tne bnyer & seller The cotr mittee, therefore, proceed to exhibit a brief View of : the situation of Uie bank, - and their reasons for the opinion that a less dividend should now be declared than wculd be authorised by the net profits of the last six months, if abstractly consider ed. . r. . The committee have had before them estimatts of losses furnished by 'the re spects e cfiGces of the bank, except four of thewestern c ffices,brcught down tothe 1st ultimo,- and some of tiem to a later date, which they have attentively exanin " ed, and where they have not been satisfi ed with the sufficiency of the allowances made by the cfiices, the committee havV made at'ii'tions, but p; ho instance have they diminished these, allowances. : These estimates are in some instances a little more, and in others a" little less, than those which were relied upon in; Ja nuary last. la the aggregate they.exceed the, estimates then made of the losses of the'ame offices S25 ,362 .67, and in this near coincidence perhaps is discoverable a prcb? ble' proof of the fidelity and accu racy of the estimates ot both periods. ,Vith respect to the four western offices above excepted, the committee have tho t it safest again to rely upon the estimates cf the cashier, Mr. Wilson, particularly referred to in the report of the committee on the state of the bank, which was a greed to by the board on the 23d of Janu ary last, and published In theGazettes; ' According theJ, to these premises, the estimated losses of the bank to the 1st in sunt are 3,547,838 80. ? But although great paiu,hae been taken to examine thoroughly, and no hesitation has been indulgeu; in stating fully the losses, which . hae probably ;been sustained, the coro mittec are -nevertheless of opinion,, that it is the duty.of the board and the soundest policy of the bank to ensure; ' if possible, by adequate sustaining means; the cer tainty cf that result which the estimates now acted upon Vender probable' . i The shares 3713) which . have been ? transferred to the bank, are, vith very t few exceptions, pledged to the bank td an amount,- including interest; Over and above, any dividends which the bankunay . be able td retain, cqu .1 to the .highest price which they are likely to bring, tho in the estimate of Tosses they have only :beeu valued at par : tl.e excess, therefore over par of any price which they may bring, may v be made 'applicable to, the extuigursbment of the actual losses,$i;ould hey be found tor.excAd the estimated . amount. : , "4. - -.x ', '-, k ; There are also very considerable sums novr due to the bank for interest which has already accrued on suspeuded debts ther than those '.secured b pledges of ?C"t" be ami)unt now estimated tobe oue on debts of this description, whicn t f Vto7? climated a?:god, Js upwards 'r , . --...uww, 4ii iuui i iixi part ; of swhich, as well . as the , interest which shall accrue on the samerdebtsit fntMre. . mav5 also be made applicable, - in like manner, to the extinguishment of the ! losses, should they exceed the: estimated I amount-; ana it isine cpiniou w iw vy;: J mittef .rhat these resources," or the reat- er part of them should be pledged, in.ad .
