A
Tee annual report of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company was presented to the board of directors at New York on the 23rd of May, aud, contrary to custom, was re- ferred to a committee, who met on the 26th June, and approved it. The report was consequently confirmed. The document repeats the language of the last report in regard to the mismanagement of the pre- ceding administration, and says the status remains practically unchanged at the pro- sent time. The wreck of the steamship Georgia and the disabling of the steamship Alaska in a hurricane were the only losses sustained during the year. Much money was expended in repairs and improvements, and the company's remaining steamers are in better condition than at the beginning of the year. Mr Baboook expresses a belist that "with fair and equitable arrangemen's with competitors and associates, and with practical, economical, and honest manage- ment, there la yet a prosperous future for his company." The gross earnings for the year aggregated $4,054,560.73, and the gross expenses $3,652,745.66, leaving not profits amounting to $401,815.07. A com parative statement of the Habilities for 1978 and 1879 shows a decrease of liabilities during the past year of $498,375.67.
