It is anticipated that doubling the Capital Will at least treble the profit; and, should this anticipation be realized. the Company could pay at least a steady Twenty per cent.

Steel Castings are needed for nunterous purposes by all Bailway contractors, Engineering and Dock Companies, everywhere in Chinn and by many small manufacturers. At present a large portion of the Steel products which this Company' is able to manufacture abtained of the vers from abroad-at probably a great expense-in cassequence limited capacity of this Company to carry out orders received. With Ah increased Capital, enabling more formates to be erected, and more labour employed, this Company would then be in a position to supply most of, if net all, the needa for steel venating in this part of the world; for, with the exprem necnew optrel by the General Managers, difficuity and by their present bead work myn, there should be no whatsoever in uest satisfactorily futaiumrlapen regereements.

The General Managers are ready and willing to enter into ang reasonable areement desired by the Company da continue their Mervices for a lengthy period. Also, if desired by the Company, they are fully prepared to transder the control to a Board of Directors. comprised of such persons who are in a pituin to introduce businera, as the Company thinks advisable,
