To the Editor of the
"SHANGHAI MERCURY."
SIR,For some time. past Shanghai dailies are full of acrimonious correspondence under the abov: beading and so far alguments urged against the ado, tion of the new scheme seen to be too polent to be refuted.
But the letter of your correspondent under the heading of" Another of the Public" in your yesterday's inue induces me to say a few words, how much advocates argue upon assum.
The Old Duck, Directors being in the major- ity, they soon made it apparent that same treat- mect was to bi administered to Boyd and Co.' staff. It is well known what happened in les than two years.
This disguised feeling of animosity has been the main cause of bringing the strong opposition that opposes the Docksion every side to day.
When Mr. Twentyman beld, th-ercios, :his synths were entirely with his own suen and the work was distributed to his own side of the asiablish meni, so that the man in the street would know who was the power in the land!

E. A HEWETT.
We have noticed how the business of the Shanghai Docks us falling off. Bo far Messrs. Jardine, Matheson & Co.. the agents of the 1. C. S. N. Co., and Messrs. Melchers & Co. bave been the chief supporters and patronizers ni the above company and their representatives re on the board of Directors, and when they find that the object of the New Company, which is a part and parcel of the old concern is to work against their interests, does it at all stand to reason that they will continue their support to the Dock Company as heretofore The gain, if any, to the proposed New Com- pany will be more than counterbalanced by the actual loss and depreciation to the old concern and what one has to see is the better ment of the Dock Company and is siatus on a more solid and lucrative basis. Each one for himself and the devil for the rest seems to be the motte and aim of the promoters of the new scheme of which I think the worthy Directois of the Dock Company are quite aware.
The present prospectus issued by the promo lers of the scheme does not show the probable earning of the New Company on the capital so that the prospective shareholders might be able to know what return they may expect to get on their investment. The absence of such Superintendeninformation clearly shows that the promoters wish the public to build their castles in the air. 14
Your correspondent need not contrast the management run by the Directors, as against that by the agents. Shangbai public have had before now full experience of the relative advantages and one need not hoodwink them any more. Thus far and no further must be the ruling principle.

Most people will say the Managing Directors, because at this period in the history of the con cern these gentlemen had the complete con- fidence of their shareholders. Under the circumstances what other action could the shareholders take than support the proposal as placed before them? Therefore, I claim that the blame does not rest with the share- holders.
