A. S. WATSON & CO., that submitted by the Hongkong and Wham: poa Dock Company should show such as marked disparity? The fact is, we believe, that the conditions under which the barges have to be delivered to the Philippine Government are vastly more favourable to Shanghai than to Hongkong. To begin with the expenses in connection with the towing of the completed vessels from Hongkong to Manila together with the cost of insurance militate against Hongkong; and, in the second place, it is extremely probable that the contract as ap plied to Shanghai will permit of the barges being built in sections in the yards at Shang. hai, takon to pieces, and refitted in one of the Manila slipways fu that event the barges would be put together, at the slipways owned either by the Valadero Company or Mesirs. Eroshaw and Company, or perhaps both would ̈be utilised. So that when it comes to the crucial point, all that can be said on behalf of the Hoogkong and Wampoa Dock Company is that It has heen proved by repeated experiments the manager and his staff have had exceptional that "WATSON'S HYGIENOL" is the mostly hard luck, against which neither they nor any potent agent for the destruction of fless, body else could successfully contand.
