It is pointed out here that the treaty contains no provision for de- nunelation. The position is that it can only be legally terminated by THE mutual consent of the two parties.

FILANCIS I. du PONT & COMPANY REPORT BY CABLE: STOCKS: England is to manufacture neroplanes in Australia.

The Union Pacific Railway Company's February operating Income was 88 per cent, under the game month of last year.

The United States Steel Corporation's first-quarter operating proft is estimated at $23,000,000,

The Midvale Company's first-quarter orders exceeded those for the entire year of 1930. EARNINGS: Sears, Roebuck, year ended December 31st. $4.17 per

share, against $6.50 for the previous 12 months. We expect the present programme of flour subsidy to continue to June 30th. The polley after that date has not been determined.

Unless further additions to the herd to those already contracted for are found necessary It is not expected that Capital Expenditure for this year will exceed $220,000, the main liems of which are the quick freezing plant and extensions at the Central Cold Stores.

As you will have observed a special 10 be meeting has been convened held itu diately after this meeting. at which your Directors will recom mend the Issue of 41,005 fully pald up shares, to be offered one for every six, at present beld by shareholders, at $3.00 in cash, and $2.50 from the General Reserve.

by the conservative polley adopted in the past and bellere they will ap- preciate this favourable offer which is to be made them.

The Secretary of Agriculture has asked for the con- tinuation of price supporting devices in the farm pro- gramme.
