The report and statement of sepanta for 1908, of the Shanghai Gas Campus, limited, testily to the continued prosperity the Company. The higher cost of car- banising material, increased expenses and the loss which, for the first time was. iccurred in the dompany's Fitting business, were fully coasterbualanced by the incrœsed sles of gua, and the working account for the year showa profit of Tis. 241,19.13 ir practically the same as that for 1907. The net prost for the year, however, amounted to 9. 219,162.58; a decrase of Tls. 29,788.9%, we compared with 1907. This result wie almost entirely occasioned by the interit incurred on cost of the went ex.ensheadditions to the Company's plant, and it la evident that until such new plant is working to its full capocity, the Company cannot expect to reap all the profit to be derived therefo The Directors have considered it adrbable to write down considerably the stocks of materials held certain departments and t enable them to do this they have appro priated from renewals and depresstion aunt the

Tia. 30,000.00. The balance at credit of profit and long actant, alter araditingloaccount with Tls. 6,003.55, uried forward after appropriation of the profita for 19%, and with tho 1ks. 30,000 bove alluded to, and deducting the nipant of interim duidend at the rate of 7% (fls. 84,000) paid on 25th July last, mounts to T 171,700.23, of which sum de Directors commend appropriation as İllows:--

To pay a faldividend for the year 1908, 24,000 slurs, at 6 per cent. (sking per cent for the year) Ths. 3.00-per Fare, Tis. 22.000.00; To write of for depreciation of land and buildings, Tie. 194.13 To white off for depreciatiar of manufacturing and distributing Plant, Tie, $4,246.42; To write off for depreciation of faraiture, Th.19.24; To carry forward to pew account, s. 4,306.44

Private conemption increased 25, 190,300 . ft., or 5.77 per cent. The increase in gas ted for pable lighting has been 603,238

or 4.17 per cent..

The number of Gns-Ragines in use is 113, and the percise în gas used for power

mounted to 127,400 or 6.21 canti

per Tons 2,89.10, more carbonising material rere used than in 1907 and 28,367,900 cubic feet mon gas were produced.

The marks for the Company's realzala has been eatidictory and, apart from roke, of which a hugely increased quantly has been need for manufacturing purposes, there has be considerable incrcus is profit in all products.

Early in a year the Directors decided to provide the funds necessary for the pay ment of baisus of cost of the New Plant, by the issas if further Loan Capital la pre- ferance to increasing the Share Capital. To enable this to be done it was DRINATY
