The net profit is 858,788.91, as against 346.117.12 last year, but the dividend proposed is 35 per ocut, on the old shares as against 7 per cont, Jast time. We are bound to put something to reserve in accordance with our Articlos, so we haye amed the nominal sum of only $1,000 for this purpose. The reason for this is that we find u strong fooling exists amongst the old shareholders that anything put aside for reserve, og curried forward to test year, would benslit the new shareholders to a greater extent thau the cld, and to aBay this feeling and satisty the the cld abaroholders.it is deemail best to devote,
