inn"* 1 Meeting

Dusedin, November 12,

At the annual meeting of the Mosgiel Woollen Factory Company, Mr A. J. Burns, acting chairman, in moving the adoption of the report declaring an 8 per cent dividend, Said that in the first half-year trade had been very bad owing to the disorganisation caused by the labour trouble, but ic recovered in the second half. The Company itself had not been affected, as it was on the best of terms wiih its employes. It was necessary, in order to pay the dividend, to tak< £IOOO from the reserve fund, which had been specially built up for that purpose. He said the Company had to compete with imitations of their goods which were not of the best quality. He concluded by saying that if the mills only went in for the very best quality it would be better for the country than at presant, as the tariff was doubled. Messrs Cargill' and Hare were reelected Directors.
