BANKING IN SOUTH - AUSTRALIA.

There appear to be three banks carrying on business- in South Australia, -the South Australian Banking Company, the Union' Bank of Australia, and the Bank of Australasia. ' We have the °Mal statement of accounts of two of these-the Bank of Australasia to the 15th October, the Union Bank of Australia to the 1st October. It may be remarked that, the transactions of the South Australian Banking Company are on a much larger scale than those of the other banks, mere branches.
