"In reply to your despatch No. 363 (40933/X)
of the 19th March, on the subject of the N.V. Handelmastschappij. "Transmarina" of ban, corner of Rokin, Aisterden, I have the honour to report that this firm was estab- lished as recently as December 19th last by the present managers, .I. Stadermann and th. Lindner, both Ditoù subjects.
The authorised capital is F. 5,000,000 of which P. 1,100,000 have been duly paid up. The shareholders are the two managers above mentioned, Messrs. W.H.

Mr. Graham informs me that he is satisfied that the concern is a technically Dutch one,
