Au extraordinary meeting of the proforenoo shareholders in the above company was held at noon on Saturday for the purpose of receiving and discussing the proposals of the liquidator, My M Bennecke, for dealing with the com pany's assets. Besides Mr. Beaniecke there: were present Mahers RC. Wilear, E. Georg, K. Edulji, C. E. Osmund, J. Remedios, B. K. Wibel, and than Kin-foi.

On the motion of Mr. Grona, soconded by Mr. EDULE Mr. Wilcox was dected to the c obair, VOLG

The CHAIRMAN introduced Mr. Beanocke, who made the following statement: The assete of the company amount to $12,500. There is an outstanding call on onlinery shares of 81, which on 140,000 shares will amount to

$140,000. Now, the question is will the pra ference shareholders be satisfied to divide smengst them the $12,500 cash, which woul Fire a dividend of about 23 or 25 conta por share, or do they wish to make the outstanding call of $1 on the ordinary sharos ? In my opinion it will take two or three years to get the money it. How magh you would get I cannot say, but it is my firm belief that in the end there would be nothing at all to divide. I leave it to you to decids which courZe you will tako.

The CHAIRMAN-Yon have heard what the Liquidator bas said The assets are not very large, it is true, but they would not be very much helped by ranking a call, because it would be difficult to collect the call, se certain of this shareholders are not easy to got at, and it would be very difficult also to collect the call from any that could be got at. In addition to that, there is another consideration. Most of the pre- ference shareholders are also ordinary share- holders, and it would be like pasing the money from ous pocket into another agecd deal of it, however,

over, would leak. The nancy that the ordinary shareholders who are also preference shareholders would have to pay would probably

back to their other pocket. Consequently, I should not recommend our making the call.' I think the best plan will be to accept the Hquidator's proposal to offer a dividend out of the balance remaining. That would have to be done, I believe, by an appeal for the general consent of the other shareholders, which could be got by circular, arpaj
