J'' : Referring to' the financial conditions in Mel- ; I;. . ' ,bourne, the "Age" of June I.says:—"ln lotfal • 'duancial circles there •is little that . calls'.for ; wmmehfc'As is usual during the off; season of • the year, there is, rnoro demand, for accommodation by producers,'accentuated-on'''this occa- : > sion-by the'comparative failure:of last har- ■. . .:': 1 vest. -With money so' plentiful - and cheap inlondon, rates iiere aro hardly likely to ad-; ■■■-.- vance, • but a wider margin will probably be . required in the case of many securities than • was. customary- twelve months,ago. It.is-under-,■;stood - that' negotiations, con- . eluded for tlie/admission to the- Stock , Ex- , rchango'.of a representative of one of the banks. The object of this new departure is to facilitate the, investment in, Government debentures ■ "' V; and "similar - high-class stocks of moneys held by the banks for which thero is l no immediate :V .- employment in the ordinary' courso of busi- ... ness.. Hitherto such operations'have been re- . stricted by the relative liigli cost of the .commission paid- to. the broker/ which on certain f;. ' transactions amounted to several months'. inj terest. A reduction'in a portion of the charges incidental to'purchases of this character will f ■ certainly lead to au expansion of ; this ■ class I , of business, and thus bring much-needed, grist [ to the Stock Eschango mill."

SHAW, . SAVILL AND ALBION. - ; ' .The report of the Shaw, Savill and Albion. Company, Lt(L, for 1907, shows'a. profit of £22,192 after , paying all expenses, carrying , .£IO,OOO to ' renewal," repair 'and boiler fund] . .£2500 to. the insurance fund and making provision for depreciation. An interim dividend . for the first half ot the year has already boen paid upon the Preferred and Ordinary shares, and the directors recommend that upon both classes of -shares a'dividend for the. remaining six-months at the Tate of 5 per cent.- per an-num.be-paid, the dividend for the year on the Ordinary.shares to.ba paid free of iincome-tax..' Tho remaining -balance of d£3255 the directors propose to carry! forward. ..Towards the end of ! the year the-new twin screw steamer Kia Ora. referred to in the last report, was delivered by. the - builders. She is now on her first voyage, . ,-nd in every way suitable for ■ the: traa«. The withdrawal of the Gothic from-the service, necessitated replacement' by a first-class .-■passenger'steamer.: After calling for tenders the directors placed-an order for a larger and improved Arawa with • Messrs.; Workman Clark and Co., Ltd., Belfast This vessel will be . called Tainni, will be jointly owned with the 'Oceanic 'Steam Service Company, Ltd., and-is to be delivered during the present year. The "Westland,, the last of the company's sailing , 'vessels," was profitably, sold during the year. Tho directors regret the disappearance of this type of vesseL from the company's fleet, but the changes in the trade have rendered this inevitable. . . ' '

As the, report poiiits ';out, the.. y(;ar .'has been an. exception-ally.-trying, one,'for. lhe chocolate industry, owing to the increase's in the price of raw material'and. ;the! decline :in. sales. During the' twelve , months a further extension of the com--pany's.; business . has .beenf made through the acquisition' of the . "Cressbrook Dairy Company" ,-qf. Brisbane, this concern 'including two factories and four farms. Tho step was taken, the report states, on account : of the high tariff in Australia, and is expected to have the effect of increasing the already, satisfactory business of the company' in that part of tho world..

The following items are taken from the "New Zealand Mines Record," just to hand:— The yield from tho New Zealand Consolidated group of mines at Reefton during the year 1907 realised. ,£132,275. 19 s,. 2d. The Progress Mines crushed and treated 55,305 tons of quartz for 22,8250z.7divt., - value ,£87,805 Bs. 3d.; the. Wealth" Of Nations~crushed and treated 13,090 tons for 6-1500z.-sdwt., value .£24,535 13s. lid.; and the Golden Fleece crushed and treated I 11,991' tons for 51600z. 14dwt. 4gr., value ,£19,934 17s. The total quantity crushed from the three mines was 80,986 tons, yielding 34,3360z. 6dwt. 4gr., for a value of .£132,275 19s. 2d.; or at the rate of about, SJdwt. .per ton. Yet some of the Rand financiers have, given it forth to tho world that nothing less than an ouuee of gold to the ton of quartz would pay to mine in Australia or New Zealand. The average of tho Consolidated group of-mines, from the time of first commencing, work; would probably figure out somewhere near 9dwt. per ton. • The following statement shows tho oxport of minerals during the.year 1907:— ..v.-.[ value.

The conditions pertaining to rowards are set forth in sections 353-357 of the Mining Act, 1905, section 3 of* the Alining Act Amendment Act, 1905, and clauses 130-133 of the regulations. The Rise apd Shine Gold-dredging Company, which has two dredges operating on the Clutha River at - Lowburn, near Cromwell, has_ completed the most successful financial year in. tho history of the company.
