showing a profit on exchange of $114. With the heavy fall in exchange which took place last year the total profit accrued for the year is large, viz. $2344.41.

It has been customary in past years after the Money Order Balance Sheet has been examined to carry any profit to the credit of revenue.

Owing to the recent action of the Indian Government as regards silver it is almost certain that in our transactions this year with that Country there will be a heavy loss on exchange which will not be covered by the profit from other Countries and unless there is some fund to cover this loss it would be necessary to ask for a vote of the Legislative Council and so it is not proposed to credit Revenue with the $2344.41 accrued on last account, but to retain this amount in the Money Order Accounts with a view to covering any balance of loss on this year's accounts.

I have the honour to ask whether this meets with your approval.
