(o) Greater security to the holder. Deben. tures, being transferable by delivery, are frequently excluded from the scope of Trust Investments and are sometimer objected to by ordinary investors. At the present time, when the reduction of the Interest borné by the Imperial Funds and the enhancement In price of Corporation Stocks and of the Leading Railway Secarlies is turning the attention of Trustees very largely towards Colonial Government Recurities, "this don- sideration is of great importance.

(4) The facilities for Ibresting small sums, even to shillings and peace. Instead of being Bimited, as in the case of Debentures, to multiples of too. This facility attracts small Investors and is especially useful in dealing with the Investment of small and numerous dividends.

A very prosperous business this lottery is turning out, and it is being energetically pushed in Canton and Hongkong, as well as in Macao.
