DEAR SIRAs a shareholder in the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co., I have read with much in terest the letters of Mr. Rocha and Mr. Bowley, which have appeared in your columns, concerning the proposed distri- bution of the profits for 1913.
The Tonkin Railway is included in the first category, inasmuch as whilst its posi- tion geographically should make it the most favourably situated to serve the central part of Western Chins, the policy of the French Clovernment in putting pro prevents the road developing Yunnan or hibitive, trenit rates on merchandise
