Electric Furnace was paid for in ad- vance last November and delivery: was due early this year but owing to strikes at home it only arrived last month and is now being fitted up. When it is in full working order, we should be able to save considerably in cost of production and profits should again be satisfactory.

It is a remarkable fact that a large number of those missing are giris
