NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The report of the Directors of the Eastern Extension, Australasia and China Telegraph Company for the half-year | ending 30th June was circulated amongst shareholders shortly before the last mall left England. It can only be regarded by shareholders as a highly satisfactory statement of the Company's affairs, while to those who take an interest in the agita- tion recently started in the Far East to Induce the United Companies to bring their demands within the bounds of reason and fair play it will be exceedingly in- teresting, for it not only shows that the gross receipts have greatly increased, but that the Directors admit the Agreement with the Great Northern Co. and Chinese Telegraph Administration was "ratified by all the interested Governments on the 31st July last and was brought into operation The following day,”
