of canses, but they all hinged upon the fact that the company had been seriously in want of working capital for some time past. The year 1907 was a very diffault one for all manufacturing.concerns, and for the electrical industry in particular. There had been an abnormal rise in raw materials, while the price of the finished article had steadily decreased. Summarizing the cases which had let to the pres Bent erisis, he said their dioulties were due to losses on contrasts, following up on the high pries of raw materials, to insufficient reserves for contingencies, to losses due on the realization of securities, to an insufficiency of working capital, and to the beavy expenses in connexion with the administration of the business. If there were a forced realization, the assets, le calentated, would realize. only about 6a, &d. in the £; and even this could not be distributed among the areditors for a copaiderable time--probably two years.

Mr. Lloyd George is losing no time in carry; ROBINSON ing out the pledge given in the House of Commons to investigate the abuses of the regulations in respect to the engagement of Chinese crews on British vessels. As he stated then there is ground for the complaint raised by the seamen's representatives that the language tests are being oraded aud citizenship of Hougs kong and Singapore is being plended falsely, Bu that there are now a greater number of Chinesa employed on our ships than before the Act passed by the last government came into operation. This view is corroborat d' by the Board of Trade officials at the various ports, yet there is no real grievance against the owners, apparently, for they claim that they take the test men they can get, and the supply of British seamen is not sufficient. To obtain the owners' co-operation, however, Mr Lloyd Geergs, on Wednesday bad a con foregou with several of the leading shipping men. The proceedings were private, bat I learn that the whole matter was exhaustively gene into and there will be further conferences
