The General Managers regret that the work- ing of the Shanghai Branch has been unsatis- factory during the past year.
The Chief Superintendent of the Company, Mr. Skinner, visited Shanghai in September and December last and, in consequence of his report, the General Managers decided to continue the working of the Branch for a further period. A new superintendent has been appointed, and it is ..hoped that the results of the next few montha' working will warrant a continuance of business 300,000.00 | at that port.

Mr. Skinner also visited Japan, which he considers a promising field for the Company's operations; business has already been commenced there, and the prospects are such as to, warrant the hope of its further profitable development.
