THE BANK CAPITALISM OF YOUNG BENGAL 133
able for proht-sharing for the Board of Directors accounted
for 0,252,000, the same as in 1924.
The Deutsche Bank and the Disconto-Gesellschaft
failed to contribute anything to the reserve. .But the
Dresdner placed .1·6 million M in this account as against
1'4 million M in 1924. The total reserve in 1925 was
counted at 25 million M.
The pensions account showed 0'35 in the place of
O' 3 million M of the previous year.
The creditors of the Dresdner rose in value from 684
million M to 1003 million M. The rise is extraordinary,
especially in view of the fact that of all the great banks
this is the first to exceed the pre-war limit. In 1913 the
value of the creditors was figured at 958 million M.
The value of participation of the Dresdner in business
enterprises amounted to 11,152,000 M· (cE.
12,831,000 Min 1924). The permanent participations in
banks . and other credit institutions rose in value . from
22'4 to 23·3 million M. The two most important of such
institutions are the Deutsch-Suedamerikanische (German­
South American Bank) and the Deutsche Orient-Bank.
The PI'Oehl and Gutmann Co. of Amsterdam is a
very prominent favourite of the Dresdner. C~ntributions
to the loans of the Rheinstahl and Vfa (both German
companies) came from the Dresdner in rich proportions.
In the establishment of the new Hypothekenbank at
Danzig and Nederlandshe Credietverzekering
Maatschappy of Amsterd~m, the Dres:lner likewise
'played an important part.
