Any items in the Balance Sheet he would be glad to explain; as far as they knew they were very satisfactory. An item loss of advances to coolles was $750-that was not entirely lost. The manager on finding that a mine was not working well, and the towkay running into debt, sent him to a superior mine, where he had chance of working off that debt. That was not an entire loss but was 'pat, in to show the real position of the Company. The report of Mr. Allingham altho' incomplete was placed at the disposal of the shareholders.

(FROM A NAVAL CORRESPONDENT.}'

HAKODADI, 1st September, 1889.

TAKU.

(EROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

14th September, 1889. The steamer Haean arrived here this morning, sud anchored abreast of the Railway Wharf to discharge her cargo, not being able to proceed up river to Peh Tung Koo in consequence of having only one blade on her propeller. I appears that she left Shanghai with only two blades and on her way to Taky lost another one. She will go back to Shanghai in, her preseni condition, and will be convoyed by the steam- ship Kungpat, both vessels going direct. I am wondering if the Insurance offices knew she was leaving Shanghai with only two blades on her propeller; and if they took risks on her cargo, was she considered a first-class risk, and what would have happened if she had met a northerly gals on her way up, in the tail end of a typhoon!

One of the topics of conversation here now is whether the Customs will light the Bat buoys

next year by gas, or not. The steamer Smith has made her appearance here again, and has reduced the rate for Chinese passengers to Shanghai to Tls, to and for Europeans to Tis, 30. Messrs. Wilson & Co. are the agents in Tientsin.

The French Syndicate have built à fine wharf at Pilot Town toʻland machinery from vessels. The wood was found by the Tug & Lighter Co., and the labour by the Syndicate, and it will belong to the Tug and Lighter Co. after the machinery is landed.—Shanghai Mercury,

It is said H.M. gunboat Firebrand has been selected to be stationed here during the coming winter. A French gunboat will also, it is re- ported, be sent for the same purpose.

The exportation. of ponies from Tientsin to Shanghai has fallen off this year in a remarkable manner 1, the number being 516 to date in 1888 against 16g to date in 1889. It is surprising how this trade has been developed, and how | well it is managed by the Chinese engaged in it. They bring down their "mob" from the grass lands of Mongelia, selected to suit the requirements of foreigners, and the mobs are shipped off by steamer to be sold by auction in Shanghai. The owners pay no less than Tls. 16 -head for freight, which they find more economical than the old custom of marching the droves overland, and the dealers understand the importance of a large market so well that they for provided by the most part refuse to break the lot by selling

Mr. Coates, the chaplain of the Cordilia, left for England on the 26th. His successor, Mr. Butcher, a Chaplain and Naval Instructor, arrived at Hakodadi next day and is to take passage in the Conquest when she leaves to rejoin the fleet.

Highly satisfactory reposts on the cement and bydraulic lime have been given by the French Government and local authorities here, and these can be seen at the offices, where samples, also may be had. Samples are now being submitted to the Government for approval. Whilst this Cement is considered as good as that supplied by R.-Largo the Green Island Company, as regards cost it is cheaper.

The cost price is $1.25 a cask in Haiphong and $1.50 here. It can be sold in Indo China for about $5.20 a cask and in Hongkong at $3 50.

Without taking into consideration the Hong- kong market, there is consumed in Indo China alone, according to official reports, 32,000 casks

per annum.

There are no legal objections to an English Company working the concession, with its Head office in this colony.

The purchase money has been fixed at $83,000, of which $15,000 is taken in shares.

This includes a large stock of raw material, coal, cement, lime and bricks. Should the Company at any time increase its capital, one fully paid up share is added to the purchase money for every ten shares issued. With the present capital the Company will be able to turn out $0,000 casks of cement a year, as well as Bydraulic lime, fire bricks &c., in large quantities. The following contracts have been entered

into-

(1) Contract dated 27th July 1889 between C. VEZIN of the one part and ARTHUR B. RODYK of the other part,

(2.) Contract dated 6th August 1889 between F. Snow, Master, will land here for the above ARTHUR B. RODYK, of the one part and J. A. Port, and will have quick despatch.
