In the course of his speech, the Chairman Baid:-Following the satisfactory show ing for 1924 your directors and general agents regret that the result for 1023 is discouraging, but as you are aware our business was greatly interfered with by the strike and boycott, and daring June. July and August, we suffered severely, while earnings for the last four months of the year were much below what we have been necustomed to in recent times. The balance at credit of profit and loss account is Tls. 411,001.40 and it is Oriental Navigations posed that the sum of Tis. 50,000.00 should be transferrel thereto from equalization of dividend fund, making a total of Tir. 461,061.40 available for distribution.

It is recommended that a dividend of

which I trust will meet with your ap proval. For some years past an interim dividend has been paid, but the outlook in August was so gloomy that your directors decided it was inadvisable to do so, however, we hope the practice may be rasumed at an early date..
