I informed you at the last gencial meeting of the Company, held in April last, that a meeting, to wind up would shortly be held. The position is very little altered. Our neighbours, the Olivers Company, have altoge ther discontinued operations and there is there fore no object in delaying the final steps any further. The statement of accounts made up to the end of June last is on the table before you, presented to you at the general meeting in April.
