The CHAIRMAN then said,Gaatlemen, the report which has been in your hauda for the past month, and which I suppose may be takon a red, will ulve you details of the working of the Company's basiness for last year, and though it does not some up to the expectations that were formed at the Goonal mooting a twelvemonth azo, there are very good reasons to assount for.j. the unlooket for falling off in receipts. The E
trado of the port gecerally has been hail, as you
