ALCOHIO, V, PETROL.
To those gentlemen who advocated the use of alcohf as a substitute for petral, the history of the trade in Germany would prove instruc- tive. In Germany there was a very heavy duty on petrol, so that the consumer had to pay much higher price than ja this country, and consequently very great efforts were made to employ substitutes that could be produced in the country and so be free of duty. When motor-cabs were first started in Berlin, they were ordered by the authorities to use nothing 140 but alcohol, but it was fannd that "the cars could not be run on this spirit, and consequently every cab was allowed to use a certain quantity. of petrol to start the car. This attempt by the authorities to force the cars to use alcohol bas now been definitely abandoned, with the result that all motor vehicles in Berlin un entirely on petrol, in spite of the heavy-duty-Althought- alcohol and other substitutes might prova an excellent "bogey" with which to attempt to frighten the producers of petrol, they did not entertain the smallest misgivings that this spirit could ever become à competitor to their petrol, for the simple reason that it did not in herently contain, those qualities essential for the running of motor vehicles.

This is why these Pills are to include the Dutch Colonies. So great was indigestion, Dyspepsia, and stomach troubles the great remedy, for the demand for petrol, and so largely was the generally. Here is the testimony of oat trade now dependent upon the East ladies for of the many thousands of grateful cured Their supplies, that the irresistible demand by sufferers. the French consumers to obtain the figest petrol in the world would force the French Government to admit their petrol on the same terms as Roumanian and American. The prohibition also extended to petrol produced in British India, and it was a great argument in favour of the need of reciprocity that they were assured that if the Indian Government was prepared to make some concession on French goods imparted into India, this right would be -granted,
THE PROSPECTS.
It will be necessarily many months before wa shall have the pleasure of meeting our shareholders again, the Chairman concluded, pecly for the current year. We distributed a
dividend at the rate of so per cent. per annum, on the 1st of this month, and without pledging myself in any way (since it will be obvious to you that only seven mooths of the current year have expired), but subject to the maintenance of production in the fields, and to the prevalent condition of the markets, I believe as intelli- gent anticipation of events will show that we shall have the great pleasure of distributing the second laterim dividend on January 1 next, at a rate exceeding that of the first dividend, aud making the highest dividend ever yet paid [ho by this company. I have much pleasure in
moving the adoption of the report. (Cheats)
Mr. A. V. D. Ben seconded, and the re- solution was carried unanimously,
