In these circumstances, it is felt in some quarters that the workers will soon realise that by comply- ing with the agitators' orders they will merely be injuring their own interests.

According to the Canton Gazette, the Strike Cornmittee has decided to transfer the whole of the pic kets to Bocca Tigris so that they may be trained there and rendered capable of service in the future. It is added: Recently the Canton Hongkong strike pickets, after be

DEPRECIATION. CHARGES.

*Depreciation has been dealt with

with regard to the auditors' remark, drastically in these accounts, and,

I can only say that, as there seems to be some difference on the point as to whether depreciation on such 'assets as plant, buildings, maine and cables, etc., should be charged. It would also appear, from the to Working Account or to Profit and Loss, we have followed our usual, and I think the more ordin ary, practice of debiting it to Pro- fit and Loss.

Besides writing the sum of $7,109.52 off value of concession, we have wiped out the whole of the underwriting commission paid last year, viz., $23,806, and the balance of preliminary expènees, $2,276.57, and this, with the Auditors' and Consulting Committee's fees, has turned the profit on Working, Ac- count into a loss of $28,727.52 for the year, which is transferred to the balance sheet.
