REPORT
After the Christmas" Holidays the market opened quietly, but was steady during the period under re- view which constituted only three business days. In consequence the volume of trading was rather res tricted and there is no special feature to report except that rates were however fairly well maintain- ed and a slightly firmer tone was prevalent in Banks, Lights and Hotels towards the close. It is anticipated that more activity with a more obvious trend will be dis- played in the market after the New Year Holidays. We tako thiy 12.10. opportunity of wishing our cliente 360 and readers a Happy and Pros-
perous New Year.

The bulk of this increase was accounted for by the duties under the Import Duties Act, 1932, which operated throughout the year against only one month (March) in 1931-32; the duties under the Irish A motion by a shareholder to Free State (Special Duties) Act this end was defeated at a meeting which were imposed as from July in September, when the directors 16, 1999; and the duties under the recommended that developmente in Ottawa Agreements Act imposed as America and Europe should be from November 17, 1932.
