Sir,-Ax! find that I would encroach" too much apon the space of your moming contente e porary by again asking hospitality for a reply to Mr. Taylor, I would ask you the favour of inserting the following in your impartial columns, for otherwise Mr. Taylor, whay is in the habit of jumping at rash conclusions, might infer that be has succeeded in defeating the coomy.. This is so far from being the case:: that had I been in Mr. Taylor's shoes, and had the option of keeping silence or replying to my criticism, I would certainly have chosen, the
former alternative for Mr. Taylor, by his reply, has rather weakened instead of strengthened his case-am, Sir, Yours truly,
G NIELSENZAN
Sta, Mr. Taylor is perfectly correct: my! first letter did not attempt to advasco. any argunients regarding the new scheme beyond. showing, firstly, that the experience which the investing public have had of Mr.Taylora financial guidance by bis advocacy
of the Cigarette Factory and the Weihaiwei: Gold Mins should make them wary of taking that gentlemen's figuras on trust a third time; and, 'secondly, to rouse the directors of the Dock. Co. to a sense of their duty.
I am pleased to learn that Mr. Taylor is not the author of the new scheme; but I believe I' am right in saying that he is the chief spokes man for the same, seeing that: the report of hlavi speech at the recent meeting takes up moro"/ than two columns in your paper as against one-seventh of a columu contributed by Mr. J. Hogg, one-eighth by Sir. Charles Dudgeon, and one-third of a column by Mr. C: Holliday.... It was Mr. Taylor who gave us all the figures, nad consequently we have to deal with him, and I am sure Mr: Taylor will got hirk the responsibility.
Mr. Taylor is again quite correct theoretical-]?/ ly in saying, that the Dock Co. and the new Wharf Co. are two different things. So they are, except when it comes to the question of money; then they are practically one concern, | seeing that the shareholders in the Dock Co.
are to be jockeyed out of part of their property. and forced to take shares in the new Wharf and Godown Co. The two conçems then re main one in all byl name,

Taylor's Weihaiwei figures, the latter gen leman said:1 told you what, the прасе the godowns would be I can let you figura! it out yourself. It seems to me a very simple proposition."
Now, if the professional advice taken by Mr. Taylor amounts to this so many cubic feet at so much per cubic foot, and there you are'FI: trust that I may be permitted to say that i am justified is concluding that these figures are dr. Taylor's own figures, for the reason that no professional advice is needed by anybody in a problem of that nature. Anybody in possession of a tape measure may obtain the actual cubic capacity of a godown, if he will) but measure the length, breadth and height of such godown, and as Mr. Taylor must surely be familiar with the actual surface area and height of the proposed godowns he need not call for any professional 'assistance in figuring' out the cubic capacity of said gedowns. ' It": would be an insult to Mr. Taylor's intelligence to suppose that he has actually called in profes sional assistance to halp him work out that pro»'. blem and I am therefore justified in assuming that Mr. Taylor has worked it out himself. Bat'
when it comes to the question of the cubic storage capacity of the twelve godowns I trust': that Mr. Taylor has called in the best pro- fessional help he can get in Shanghai, for I very much fear that otherwise his calculations will be-well, like those concerning Weihaiwel. This point, which Mr. Taylor, with ill-concealed joy, thinks that I am afraid fraising I had in reality reserved as a plum for de confirmatory. meeting, but now I trust that Mr. Taylor will kindly oblign ma by letting me have the two figures asked for, namely, the surface areas of all the godowas, and the height of each storey, Having these I shall be able to check Mr. Taylor's statement that the proposed, twelve godowns will have a storage space of 6,300,000 cubic feet. Mr. Taylor has mado vary anfong» mato miscalculations before to-day, and he may have made a mistake again.
I cannot 'sea that I am wrong" in giving the total combined capital of the two Companies as Tis: 7,140,000. These are figures according to Mr. Taylor:
