Directors, Mr F- V, L«tb« bridge, presided. . The Chairman explained that owm« tc the yearly accounts having onlj closed on the 30th tilt,, the staff had been unable to make out the balance sh ct and got it audited in time for that meeting, which was fixed by the articles of association, nnd therefore the directors suggested tint they should elect directors that d.iy and adjourn the m-etin^ for a month in order to allow of the statement of hccounts being presented to the shareholders. In answer to Mr Arkwn>;hr. the Chairman said tlic meeting was called uy j advertisement. Some discussion ensued as to Ihe best mode of notifying shareholders of the MM'tinj?. nnd tlic suggestion that shareholders should receive notification by circular was approved. Mr John Bryce stated that generally the affairs of tho Company wore in a flourisiunu condition. Tlicre was a very considerable turnover, irrespective of wool and commissions, and the company was now in such a position th-it they could fairly look forward to having n turnover of £40,000 or £50,000, which it was approaching now. Of course the early part of the year would show nothing like thnt, but the company was approaching that condiiion when that tnicht be snid to be the sta'e of its finances, which he thought mi^ht be regarded as prosperous. The shareholders li«t was a lnrge one. there being no !css than ll<">0 shareholders, nnd Hip number of shares taken up wns 43t)0, representing ofer £20,000.
