foss are almost identically the same as last year. Several items of bad debts on Chinese account, aggregating $3,381.39, running back for three years, have been written off in working account, all other outstandings under the head of sundry debtors being considered good. The late compradoro was liable for these bad debts, but they may now be looked upon as irrecoverable. Chinese moles" at present are guaranteed by the new compradoro under effective security. Stocks at factory and on consignment as stated i. the Becount are smaller than usual, as we refrained from buying any more hemop in the Intior part of the year than was necessary on account of the high values provalling.

This heavy advance in raw material embarrassed the business to it considerable extent, as it Wid not practically possible to secure at once repe prices commensurate with the increase of hemp values, nor have we oven yet been able in all markets to obtain what, wo should call satisfactory rates.

ANSWERS.

(1)-The item $417.14 represente un overdraft on the General Managers and should have come under the heading of "Sundry creditors.""

(3.)--The factory stocks have boon valued on the same principle is the consignments have.

(4.)-No.

(2.)--The rope on consignment has not boon valued at either the estimated selling rate nor at the first cost rate, but at something considerably less than the replacing rate, and it ought to be easily The position has improved saleable at the figure given, but better nów, but high prices are of course is expected. Consigaments are made to prejudicial to an enlargement of demand, the various agents, and, as customary, as consumers have recourse to cheaper without asking for security.. fibres and wire rope when Manila becomes too expensivo. The Company sold and consigned about 10 per cent. more rope than in the previous year, and as local sales and orders from nearby ports increased by 14 per cent, we may consider the results satisfactory under the circumi- stances. Of oil drilling cables we have only inade about the same number as fast year, but as one of the reasons given for the jump in hemp is the very large business done in oil cordage by the European and American factories it would appear that Manila cables for oil boring are be appreciated, and there, would seem to reason why we should not get our share of the business in time.

The CHAIRMAN added that they had received a letter from Mr. 1). K. Moss, putting certain questions to the Company He would read the questions, and give the answers.

QUESTIONS.

(1)Why is the item $417.14 shown under Cash" in the balance sheet instead of under "Sundry Creditors" Is this item in the nature of an overdraft

(2)—as iho rope on consignment, viz, $183,840.05, been valged at the estimated selling rate or the first cost rate, and, in either case, is it easily and readily sale able at the above figure of $182,849.637 To whom is it consigned, and against what security has it been consigned ?

(3.)-How has the rope and hemp in racary betu valued so as to appear among the cssets $101,700.197

(4)Has the value of land and/or buildings and/or stock and/or stores ever been written up by the General Managers! If so, when and why?

(6.)~Are the gales to Chinese (except those for cash) guaranteed by a com pradore? If not, why has no provision been tuete for bad and doubtful debts?

(5.)-Sales tay Chineso, aro now guaranteed by the compradors. The bad debts referred to in my previous remarka to day were debited to working necount, and no commission has been charged thereon.
