--have sincs been forthcoming, explaina much of the position that is now sought to be assumed by the promotors of this new candidate for financial favour. It is generally believed to be, a fact that the Cosmopolitan Dock was at one time offered for sale for a sum which is now alleged to be much below its actual valuo as a working concerts, and at an amount not far above the valus stated by our correspondent; but this may not be quite the fairest way of appraising the valus of such a property. Without seeking to draw any invidious compari- sons between the oldest and best organised Docking Companies in the East and that now submitted to public favour, it may be noted that the Dooke at Aberdeen and Kowloong are, exclusive of stock and other plant, assessed at a very large sum. Indeed, it seems to us that the best test of the feasibility of the present venture is not so much the careful consideration of the apparent disparity of offers made for the Sam shui-po property when in dificulties and the terms of sale now agreed upon, but the actual field of labour that can The be occupied by the new concern. powers of work now possessed by the
