With the view of arriving at. a correct, valuation of the property and plant, bir. CORTELE has made a careful estimate, which, after allowing liberally for depre ciation, amounts to Fuels 100,000, partiņa. lure of which be seen co application.
A satisfactory arrangement has been an tered into with Mr. MUIRHRAD for carry. ing on the undertaking with the present eficient staff, and Mr. Momnuman will retain a large interest in the Company,
The profits of the business during the Jast seven years Lave averaged over Tls. 18,000 per annum, equal to 18 per ceat, on the present proposed capital.
This property offers unequalled facilities for the carrying on with sconemy work of the ahora deseription, while the whole of the plant is in the best possible state, its perfect efficiency having been continuously and carefully maintained. The introduo- tion of new interests in the working may confidently be czpopted to yield nu extens sion of the business; and the adoption of the mutual system, which has been found to produce such satisfactory result in ather Companies, in the opĹsion of the Directora, canet fail to bave a correspond ing effect in this. It must also be borno in mind that the carrying trade of the East is in a''state' of, transition from wooden waiting ressele, to Iron Steamers, and this will, doubtless, benefit the Com. pany, more especially as Shanghai in daily fucreasing itu sleum trafic, and prostag its euitability to be the terminal port in China. The present, therefore, asema s goud op.. portunity to acquire a business in working order, which, by means of a Company, can be extended a cirenzastanese may under necesary,
