The Chairman said the report had been in the hands of the shareholders for some time, and they were doubtless all acquainted with its contents, therefore he would

The CHAIRMAN said :—It is undenessary
that I should say much regarding the report which is before you, the adoption of whink I have the pleasure to move. You will, I feal sure, agres with me that the statement the Directors are able to place before the Shareholders is eminently satisfactory, showing a high state of prosperity as regards the position of the Company, the mont satisfactory feature being the amount of THE Agent of the O. & 0, S. 8.

Regarding the Japan salvage and our claim on the estate of the late General Agents, I can give YOU NO MOTO definite information than appears in tha report. Of course anything coming from either of these sonroes will be so much to the good. As regards the sub-division of our Shares, a special resolution will be sub- mitted to you to-day to enable the Directors to take the first step in this direction. Three other moetings, two of which are confirmatory, will be necessary before it can be duly accomplished. You are aware that we have all along considered this change vary desirable, and we are of opinion, as stated in the report, that its accomplish- ment will materially strengthen the position Our business, since the date to which the and extend the influence of the Company.
