My attention has bean called to a remark wadd in some jonreal criticising the report and asking whether our steamers could be sold for £700,000. Thegentle. man in making that romark did not take into consideration that tliers was the considorchlostim on the other side of £145,000, so that really that mount is reduced to something like £500,000, and I can assure you that our opinion is that they are certainly worth that and even more. If, as we really do now, want another stranier, we should he only top glad to get one like one of our last eight steamers at the price at which they stand in our book. In certain, however, that we could not do it.

The Chairman then put the motion to the mooling, which was carried unanimously with- vrt diseasslor.
