THE HONGKONG, CANTON AND MACAO STEAMBOAT COMPANY, LIMITED.
The following in the report of the Board of Directers to the ordinary half-yearly meeting of shareholders, held at the office of the Company, on Friday, the 31st July, 1891 -
The Directors beg to submit to the Share- holders the Report and Statement of Accounts for the half-year ending 30th June last.
After paying running expenses, salaries, premia of insurance, repairs and all other out. goings, there remains, including $10,685,30 brought forward from last secount, the sum of $688.81 at debit of Profit and Loss Account. The Directors are, however, of opinion that m portion of the mum ($95,800.43) expended on repairs may fairly be charged to Depreciation Account, and they propose to so charge $50,000, and also to transfer the sum of $15,000 from the Equalization of Dividend Fund to Profit and Loss Account. There will then be an available balance of $64,311.19 and from that sum the Directors recommend that a dividend for the half-year of 4 per cent, on Capital, or $64.000,00, be paid to Shareholders, and that the balance of $311.19 be carried forward to a new account.
If the above proposals be agreed to, the Depre- clation and Insurance Fund and the Equalization of Dividend Fund will stand at $800,000 and $35,000. respectively.
The Shareholders !! doubtless have been prepared for the poor result of the half-year's working. The amount of steam tonnage at present engaged in the river trade is for in excess of its requirements; keen competition, has con- sequently prevailed during the period under review, the rates both for passage and freight on the Canton Ine being now merely nominal Under these circumstances, the Directors trust that the net earnings aľ steamers will be viewed as not altogether unsatisfactory;
The cost of repairs to the Powan and Honam proved to be much heavier than it was anticipated would be necessary at the date of the last meeting, the extra expenditure incurred being mainly for doubling the keelplate of the Powan and the renewal of a large number of the Honam's Bollom plates which were condemned by the Surveyors. The White Cloud, which had not undergone any extensive repairs since 1887, has been re-coppered, her hurricane deck recanvassed, and the bull. engines and boilers overhauled and placed in through order. The Fatshan and Klungchaw have also undergone the usus annual Government survey and overhaul and some slight repairs have been done to the Klukiang, Welerence to the item of $13,739 80 under the head of repairs to the "Hrungshan. It should be explained that in addi- tion to decking and painting and the usual expen- diture incidental to the annual Government survey this amount includes the cost of a Weir's patent pump and feedheater, the removal of officers' quarters to a cooler space forward, and sundry alterations and additions made for the purpose of thoroughly ventilating the engine departmen'. The first cost of the feedheater was somewhat heavy, but it has been money well spent, resulting in a decrease of 15 per cent. In the consumption of coal, besides saving the bollets. The Directors much regret that it should have been necessary to expend such a large sum for repairs during a bad balf-year; the expenditure, however, was unavoidable, and the steamers being now in good order, it is not expected that any heavy outlay of this nature will be required in the near future. Repairs to one of the Macso wharves, contracted for at $3,000, are now being proceeded with.
After a somewhat protracted correspondrace. the Directors have had to abandon all hope of an amicable settlement of the Company's claim on the builders of the Heungskan. The matters in dispute bave therefore been referred to arble tration, as provided for in the agreement.
....
In accordance with the Articles of Association Messrs. E. R. Felilios and L. Pocinecker retire from the Board of Directors by rotation, and belag eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

The special application of this new chart at present time is to the vast trade which is to pass through the Nicaragua canal from the countries bordering on the Atlantic to China and Japan.
Under the prevailing impression, which, unfortunately, is of wide extent, the route of that great traffic would pass across the Pacific and back again in the latitude of the Sandwich islands or to the south of them. If this were trise California would profit little by the opening of the canal as far as the Aslaife trade is con- cerned, though thers would still be a vast im. petus to trade between the Pacific coast and the Eastern States and Western Europe.
