As a record for our late shareholders who still retain an 'in terest in the ultimate mirinsic value of our shares as at the 31st December last, as well as for the information of the present baders of our stock, I may sure that the company's assets have been valued, and exchanges taken at the creat rates, as at that date-the differ- ences in exchange being passed to exchange fuctuation aje, and the differentes on the re valuation of assets being passed to investment fluctuation a/c.-and that, with the exception of only one or two misur valuations which were put available when the books were closed, and which have still to be added, the statement as presented is complete at d›le.

Mr. E. A. Hewett said he was the Super- intendent of the P. and D, Company in Hong kong. Cases beating the muks produced arrived on the about the 7th inst, and he arranged with the

steamer Devanňa, Godown Company at the steamer should be discharged in the steam and not alongside the whaif, and the Company would take the cargo in their own lighters to the godowns, a small portion being taken by witness's own fighters, and one case was in his possession and seized un bis lighter, the other six cases being seized on the same day, when they were in the posses. sion of the godown company on his behalf, as the company was responsible to him for those

cases.

To Mr. Bailey, witness said the four cases referred to in the bill ut lading produced also arrived on the same steamer, and the same gustructions were given in regard to them as to the other seven cases,

To Mr. Dearon, witness said the cargo did not necessarily go through the band of the Godown Company; the steamers often gave delivery alongside the steamers into con signees' own lighters. The Gadows Company held the goods free of storage charges for ten days, after which they charged consignees storage rent. In the event of the consigne not claiming the goods they might lie in the godown a year.

Mr. Hastings said he had sent for the bills of lading from Shanghai.

Similar evidence was given regarding the four to that regarding the seven cases, and the case was adjourned,
