Your Directors are pleased to be again able to present a satisfactory st siement of the six months' working and trust that the proposed appropriation of profits will meet your approval. is perhaps doubtful whether we shall be able to show such good results in the immedi te future, as the recent advent of several additional native owned steamers to the Canton line has necessitated a material reduc. tion of rates, while on the other hand the heavy fall in exchange has had the effect of largely increa ing fur running expenses. In order to hold our own, still further reductions may be come necessary, so we can only rely upon a earnings at their present level. The building of the now steamer Kinshan is well on the way to completion, and it is the intention of your Directors, in conjunction with the China Navigation Company, to organise a daily ser- vice of three departures to and from Canton as

Mr. Silva beg to second the proposal. The motion was carried unanimously. The Chairman --The confirmatory meeting will be held later on. I thank you, gentlemen, for your attendance.

The Chairman said :-Gentlemen, with your permission we will follow the usual custom and take the report and accounts as read. The result of the year's work differs little from that of the previous twelve months, sales of rope being still curtailed by the high price of hemp. Our turnover, in consequence, was the smallest we have had during the past five years, and as stocks of rope accumulated we had to shut down the factory at intervals in order to work them off. At the present high price of Manila hemp it is of course hard work for us to compete with the inferior Japanese article, which is grealy adulterated with other fibres, but, nevertheless, we have done so and have even sold a fair quantity in Japan much superior and
