REPORT.

The following in the Report of the Directors, to be presented at the Fourth Ordinary Meeting of Shareholders, to be held at the Office of the General Apeuta at Hongkong, on Thursday, the 25th insient, at 3 o'clock p.us.

The Dractors have now to submit to the Shareholders their Report npon the Dompany's business for the year ending 31st December,

1874..

Ae will be seen from the accompanying state. ment of Working Accorint, the net prerais. takan has amoanted to $237,541.18, against $239,529.63 in 1978, showing an appareat falling "off in the business of the Company of some $22,000. It is to be remembered, however, that the premo in upon all local risks buve been sab. jeat during the year to a gross retorn to the asanred, of 33 per cent against 10 per cent during the previous year, fod when allowance in nude for the diferolise an setual increase in the Company's susideas appears..

The base sustained have been severe, and rander inadvisable at presex?nuy approprística of the balance standing at credit of Working Account, which is curried forward pending adjustment of aststanding claime. The amoant due spon these will however, in all probability, be materially reduced by sums recovered in salvage which cannot yet be sccurately sacer tained, and it is hoped that on settlement of all entstandinge a small profit upon the year's

• working will be the result.

The current year has opened auspiciously. An average business has been done, whilet.no material bussed have as yet been reported.
