HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.

WENTIETH Report of the Court of Directors to the Ordinary Half-yearly General Meet- ing of Shareholders to be held at the CITY HALL, Hongkong, on Wednesday, the 18th August, 1875.

+

To the Proprietors of the

HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.

Gentlemen, The Directors have now to sub- mit to you a general Statement of the affairs of the Corporation, and Balance Sheet for the half- year ending 30th June last.

The net profits for that period, including $3,059.44 brought forward from last account, after paying all charges and deducting interest paid and due, amount to $263,127.50, of which, after taking out Rebate on Bills not yet due, there remains a balance of $260,023.42.

The Directors have taken $153,997.42 from this sum, and placed the amount to Contingent Account, to provide for known and probable losses, and they recommend that the balance of $106,026 be carried forward to the credit of New Account.

The Directors regard the half-year's profit as satisfactory, but they regret that they again feel unable to recommend the payment of any Di- vidend, as in view of Mr. MCLEAN'S Report, (though they have since become possessed of in- formation which authorizes them to take a much more hopeful view of the position of the "2, ubtid accounts" than he held), they deem it advanta- geous, in the permanent interest of d... hare- holders, to retain the whole balause of profic unii the end of the year.

During the past half-year, and more especially recently, many large and important failures connected with Eastern trade have taken place, and, although fortunately the Bank has had to provide an unimportant amount for anticipated losses on such accounts, they have naturally been the subject of considerable anxiety to the Direct- There seems, however, every reason to suppose that the worst is past, and there are signs that the depression to which trade has been so long subject is being gradually removed.

ors.

Local Committee in London.

The Directors have not yet definitely appointed the London Committee, but considerable progress has been made, and they now expect shortly to complete the appointments.
