REPORT ON A DIFFICULT
YEAR.
In their report for the 12 months ended September 30 the directors of the P. and O. Steam Navigation Company state that "the past year has been a dif. ficult one, and that in almost all the company's trades there has been a decrease in shipments. This depression, it is almost need less to say, has been world-wide." The report proceeds: "There are, it is thought by some, slight signs of improvement, but this is not likely to occur until the fin- ances of the country are re organised. It is fortunate that the company's interests are well spread, thus enabling the direc- tors to pay a dividend for the year of 10 per cent, on the Defer- red stock, free of tax."

The ameliorating factor is that good rains have occurred in most parts of the country. In Queensland, after a period of drought, there are good prospects for farming and dairy produce as well as in New South Wales and Victoria.
