ME. MICHAEL The mere fact that you admit that we, the shareholders, have been so liberal in giving bonusa in good years to the employees is in itself a guarantee that we are always willing to give a bonus in good years, but not with miserable accounts like those. Our exchange has gone down. 3) per sent. and our profit has gone down. Our capital was $1,500,000 in 1896; now it is millions, Exchange has gone down 30 per cent, and our profit has gone down very much. And now we ure going to bind ourselves and} future shareholdere to a fixed bonus. We are always willing to give a bonus in good years, and the proof is thore-that we have been liberal in the past. One other thing I should like to say You have assured us that the loss on the Hurie Jebeen was $5,000. Do we understand that that was the total loss? Some are estimating the loss at $25,000, some at $33,000 and some at $40,000. Now it is minimised to $5,000 and I abould like a repetition of this confirmation. Did you make a profit, and besides making a profit was this $5,000 lost, or do you mean to profits were $1,018,000 and 3892,000 respectively, Ray that you have done the work for nothing against the $737,000, which the accounts of 1902 and that after dolug the work for nothing show us to day with exchange 30 per cent, lower there was a loss of $5,000 against the share- than in those years. Bearing in mind that asan-holders?
