The proposed addition to the Reserva Fund will doubtless meet with
your approval and be a matter of satisfaction to all connected with the Company, The poallion of the 1896 account, you will also, I trust, consider madisfactory; the premis income shows L substantial increase, and the amount credit of latereat account, notwithstanding seductions in rates for fixed depoțits, is larger than last year. Charges and commis slons are slightly greater as is only natural with increased builness. The losses sustained to 31st December were a little less than the pre- vicus year at the corrceponding date. Sface then further losses to the extent of about $16,500 have been occurred, the chief item being one of $15,000 suatelard at Cholon, the Chinese quarter of Salgon through tho late, disastrous conflagration The keen competition that so long existed for Fire Idurance business in this part of the world has to a great extent ceased, and equitable

It does not occur to me to make any further remarks, but before moving the adoption of the report and acceusts as presented it will give me pleasure to reply to any questions which share holders may have to ask.

For one port on the N. C. of Java živé steamers are reported settled, the last two having encured the very much higher rate of 25 cents per pical, and it would seem that the demand is not satisfied yet. Tonnage is also wanted from Silgon to Japan at 21/23 cents per pleal—a figure which does not, however, compare favourably" with other quotations and also for Singapore at the THE HONGKONG AMATEUR improved rate of 14 cents pical.
