The severe depression in the taatketa: 92: peritriced lost autrain, was aggravated daring the remainder of the year by the continuance of the war; but, potwithstanding there an favourable chances, the whale of the pro-

small quantity (valued at £8,900)," has been realised. The result is, that after taking grodit for the profits of the year and the amounts held in reserve, a sam of £59,022 9a. 11d. bas- to be carried forward as a deficiousy to be met by fature earnings; but that sum, representing.. 7 par cent of the Capital, is fally believed to be a trost ample provision for all Yousee known or apprehended, and does not justify the recent depreciation of the Shares,
