sons to St it for office use as required.

The demolition of the old buildings opposite our offices in Leaden- hall Street and the construction of up to-date premises for Lloyd's and other shipping companies, bringing the centre of the shipping world to our neighbour. hend, should not detract from the value of our City property.

The old Agency House, at Hoogkong. situated it Des Tax Road. has herri advantageously sold, as it is not now re- quired, cur new office building facing the harbour being ready for occupation. The new building is of seven stories, admir- ably adapted for commercial purposes. The difference realised by the sale of the old building and the amount at which it stood in the books has been applied to a reductios of the book value of the other properties

General Trade, conditions in all the company's spheres of operation have been very difficult during the last twelve. months. Labour conditions have not im- proved. Indications of a year ago of a slight improvement in outward trade have not materialised, and latterly the war in China has affected both outward and homeward business, with the Far East." Passenger business continues satisfactory. The Mail Service has been carried on during the past year, under some difficulty owing to the loss by enemy, action of many of our fino ships; but next year there is every prospect of & reversion to the full pre-war schedule on all lines. The directors'feel compelled to state that but for the conservative policy adopted in the past, it would not have been possible to propose the dividend paid last year, and which they now sug gest for the year ended September 30th,
