NOTICE.

The following extract from the full | Street Journal, in regard to the parehase of the former Pacific Mail Beet by the International Mercantile Marine Com- pany, is of interest here:

ANY EUROPEAN, Nor ASTATIC or "In connection with the International A INDIAN desiring to leave the Mercantile Marine's

fransaction in Colony should apply in writing for per versely

by which it acquired ships from mision to do so to the Captain Super. Intendent of Polico, at least 48 hours

the Pacific Mail and Eau resold twas before the intended hour of departure them to Japanese interests..it is interest- ing to record that it was through the giving name, atiduality, age, sex, beight Dd basiness judgment of Vice-Prasad occupation of the applicant, and sident Franklin, operating moefver for the company, that these ships were acquired in the first instance," said the Journal

"There was enthusiasm elsewhere Among the Mercantile Marine interests to spend 33,250,000 for five Pacific Mail ships at an average figure of 800 a, tors. But Mr. Franklin through his own per sonal efforts had the transaction pushed through. The fifth and smallest vessel Merila Marine purchased four i

resul so that in reality the at a cost of It has s been

that these four

stated in these ships could readily be disposed of by the company for 88,000,000 or more, should it so desire. This is more than by the by the sale of the two smaller of four for $4,000,000. On the basis of this sale, the two remaining ships acquired from the Farific Mail would bring some #hing like 84,000,000 to the Merchantile Marine

Company.

As a speculation in bottoms, the purchase of the Pacific boats and the resale last week of two of them has been remarkably successful, since it gives the company two large vessels at a cost of $1,000,000, and a similar sam has been Already added to the company's pet since acquisition of the four vessels last tall In addition is not improbable "
