The CHAIRMAN said-In reply to the first question I may say that the temporary scarcity of lymph in the colony is due to the fact that softcnt number of buffalo calves cannot be Buichers say they do not allowed to export buffalo calves from China. Evory effort is being made to chtain a sufficient supply from the New Territory, and if these efforte fail a supply to meet vil demands will be purchased from Haigon and Shanghai.

The CHAIRMAN suid:-The report and acccuate having now besa in your hands for some days I will with your permission, take them as read. It is with much regret I have again to lay before you a balanco shost showing a loss on working account. We have, however, suffered a great deal from unavoidable mis forture during the past year. Our British superintendent bod both died suddealy in the simmer and their deaths involved the works in considerable loss both directly and indirectly. They were both excellent workmen and from ovary point cf view their ducasso is to be greatly deplored. With regard to the future I think I may say that after an exhaustive trial it has been fully demonstrated that what I would torm the garment or domestic trade does not pay us if unsupported by other work. There is not enough of it to allow us to work at a profit. Could we obtain more work without sensibly in. craneing our standard charges I do not think there is any doubt hat that we could run at s profit. With this point in view your Directors hace decided to make a new departure sad to sook an enlarged field in the dyeing and finishing of plece goods-xilk and cotton. The necessary machinery has been imported and installed and is at this moment, I hope, actually working my last communication from the works advised that all was ready to commence. Sigus are not lacking that there is scope for a largo trade in this piece goods Lusi ess, and I trust that the next report may boar, out the hopos of your management and may reward your disappointment in the past. The figures now before you will show you that we have bean forced to borrow considerably in order to meet and to provide the works with the staff and the loss wo have sustained in course of working machinery necessary to give them the oppor- tunity to coutinus with reasonable hope of success. I think there is nothing I can usefully add, I shall be pleased to answer any questions that may be put.
There were no questions and the report was adopted, while the confirmation of Twen Sing's appointment to the directorate was unrried on the motion of Mr. Moxon, sccraded by Mr. Haskell
There was no other business.
