We propose to pay dividend of 12 per cent to shareholders, and to pay to contributors of business a dividend or 15 per cent, instead of 10 per cent as last year. We further propose to put a round sum of $100,000 to the Reserve Fund, and to carry forward the sum of $92,000, which is ample, because so far as we know up to the present our losses have been small. I regret to say that nothing new with regard to the estate of Augustine Heard & Company can as yet be said. I fear that the dividend accruing out of this estate will be very small, but hope when we meet again in 1879 that this un fortunate matter will have been brought to final termination, We have been much more Inoky with the Japan.
