An interesting meeting of shareholders of the London Nitrale Company was held to-day. Much discontent was created among the share- holders when the chairman submitted his report, which monounced the Joss of £1816 on the year's operations of the company. Hanison, one of the stockholders, said the Dhilean nitrate fields owned by the company had been practi- cally exhausted by the vendors before they sold them to the company. He declared that grave misrepresentations had been made and suggested the company wind up its affairs. This sugges. tion that the company go out of business was met with cries of "Not yet!"
Rumor is current that it is possible the means of reconciliation will be arrived at by giving an embassy to Count Herbert Bismarck.
