The. report of- the: Alliance Assurance": Com-., pany, which, covers'the. i 2 months ended' August shows that the; fire ''premiums, less reassurances received, amounted :to £31,546; losses.by fire were £22,579,' and, expenses, etc., £13,144, or a' total of £35,723,- leaving:#'loss.on the year's transactions of.' Mill,, as compared' with a profit for the previous year of .£2746. In the, marine branch premiums, less reassurances and returns, .'amounted- to £26,983, losses to .620,128, and; expenses,' etc., ' .£6673, a credit balance of ' .£lB3 ,remaining, as against losses amounting to £8693! in-1906-7. The fidelity guarantee ind acci ; dent department earned a profit'for the term of. £1323. '/The amount at credit of profit and loss, including: balance • brought forward' of.- j81p,117, was £11,406." Dividends of 2s: per share for the half-year absorbed ,£SOOO, leaving ,£6406 to be carried forward. : In the life-assurance branch renewal premiums -amounted "to '.26222, and interest 'to'<: £7690.' ; Claims'' under life' policies, matured endowments, and bonuses took £29,106, surrenders £734, and special life and cash bonuses £1108, other items of outgo representing an. additional sum of £3221. The life assurance fund at .the close of the year stood at £199,551, as against £219,797 12 months previously. The principal figures of the bal-ance-sheet are:—Liabilities, paid-up capital £125,000, reserve' 1 fund £40,000, and. life assurance fund £199,551, the balance-sheet "total being £389,630. Assets , : comprise real estate v £67,207,'m0ney lent , on'mortgage £183,605, de-* posits .£35,954, building society shares £11,069,' Australasian' Insurance' !Company's- -.- shares £20,388, loans on company's policies £17,390, and other items. , ' BANK OF AUSTRALASIA. The accounts of the Bank of Australasia for the' half-year to April .'l3 last show a profit, including £16,074 brought forward, which enables the directors to announce appropriation of. £112,000 to a dividend of; 12; per cent, per annum and'a bonus of Bs. per. share, Together £2 16s. per share, payable less, income-tax, equal to 14' per cent. per. annum on the capital of the bank of £1,600,000—£80,000 to reserve fund (raising-it'to £1;550,000), and £20,000 in reduction. of- bank promises account. . The sum of £16,000 will be'carried forward. ' ' THE MONEY MARKET. , The underwriters of 'colonial loans issued in , London must be, gorged-with, such things. Of ' the Canadian loan 0r.£5,000,00d at 35 per cent, the underwriters had to take' up 75 per cent, of the issue.- .In July Jast'a ;loan for .a amount,-'but carrying'-, interest at 3J" per 'cent'., was also'.a comparative: , failure, the,'under:, writers being saddled with 57 per, cent, of the issue. ' As .a. matter of, fact, there has not befin a. single colonial issue that has proved a success, the only exception being a Tasmanian loan for £200,000; which was fully subscribed. The South Australian loan for £2,000,000, issued last month, had to be supported by the underwriters to the extent of 69 per-cent.-'Of; the New South Wales loan of £3,000,000, issued in March, last, the underwriters were- left with 00 per, cent. The .West Australian loan for-£1,000',000,' floated later, was also only a partial -success. Jloney is very cheap in London, but there is a lack- of confidence in the outlook, and it wilj be some little time before-there is a change iif the situation. The underwriters have a mass of colonial securities to unload, and this, will make future dotations difficult.

. BANK OP NEW ZEALAND. The "Financial Times" of September 2 Bays:—"An interesting stajo has been reached in' the affairs of the Bank of New Zealand. It has' closed a' chapter, of' its past history by. paying off its indebtedness to (he Assets Realisation Boatd, and has built up its reserve fund to a.total of JC-150,000, increasing the ordinary dividend to 10 per cent., and .that on the puference 3hares ■to 7i per cent. - In other words; it has stepped from a position of financial difficulty to one of prosperity, and as '£1,000,000 of',guar-,, anteed stock matures ,in 1914 discussion' is already, taking, place as to what .'will' happen""to; the bank later.on. This guaranteed stock' re-' ceives the guarantee of the New Zealand Gov-" eminent," which also holds the whole of the preference share capital:of'.£soo,ooo, tho connection having arisen from the old period of : trouble. Having supported the bank in the past the Government has two-thirds of the seats on the board of directors, but if the guaranteed stock is paid off it is urged that the shareholders should obtain a larger;'control ,of their business.- "In view of the eventualities arising, from the ,increased .prosperity of ■ the bank, it ,is believed that negotiations ;are going on with Uie Government, doubtless.with a view to clear the position and place the!bank upon * footing- more commensurate with'- its present prosperity." NEW ZEALAND AND TiIVEIt'PLATE LAND . MORTGAGE. .A meeting of the New Zealand and River Plate Land Mortgage Company, Ltd., was-held in London on September 1, at which ,a.resolution ' was passed increasing the borrowing powers of the ■ directors'■ from .£276,000 to .£552,000,'. to enable them to grant more loaiis. The chairman,. Mr.' A. <M; Mitcliinson, said that the demand for loans on first-class properties in the River Plate .was so good that tho directors wished to take further Advantage of it. That it waa good business was shown by the fact that for three years there had been no default-in tho payment of tho interest on the loans, and last -year ; their, -profits were over .£±5,000. The new' issue would not affect the present debenture-holders. ""

■ A meeting of the Japan Cotton Spinning Association was recently/lield at Osaka,, when the following- resolutions' we're-, adopted The association shall provide a fund; for. encouraging the export' 01 cotton ■ yarn • to Hong-Kong and other foreign countries, with'the" exception of' China, shall take the place of the prize tickets. Enco'uragement 'money will "be given at - the rate . of 75 .sen per ' bale,, and will be payable'on the presentation of'the export certificates.

The manufacture of soap in Zanzibar, Commenced by an Indian firm some seven years ago, has proved so successful'that'several other small .manufactories , were started ' during 1907, and it'is now'being Exported to'mainland-ports. It" is of very similar , (juality to that imported from Seychelles,, but is: sold at 2d. a package of 161b. cheaper, i.e.', 3s. 2d. Tho'total output >f locitl' soap was about 200 tons.;. Mottled soap, which was imported from the Unitcd Kingdom to' the value of -.£2758, and froiA'' Germany to the value of .£1705, still, commands a market amongst the more-well-to-do'classes;-the for-: mer is sold at £2 per 20 boxes, of' 12lb. The cultivation of-rubber continues to extend in Ceylon, and there'are'probably 150,000 acres now under it, as against 120,000 at' the and- of. 1900 and 40,000 .at the end of 1905. The ' value,'of, rubber exported in 1907 was R5.'2,932,119 "as. against'Es. 1,527,539 in l?0G,"Bs.-557,945 .in 1905; VRs': 221,000 .'in 19(U. 1' The trees are, as a rille, remarkably healthy, and'in'suitable soil the growth, is vigorous, giving every promise of success in the future. During the last four months of 1907 a. great diop in price occurred, and spebnlators werb hardly'.hit. It has, however, fortunately checked the rapid expansion of the rubber area that was going on, and should prove a blessing: in disguise .to the'industry. ■: "One of the sreatest maize-growing countries in. the world;"-was the description, recently applied to West Africa by ; Sir Alfred. Jones at the meeting of the Liverpool' Chamber of Commerce. Sir Alfred said there were three crops a year there,' and he had received; a cable from Lagos reporting that the immediate ship- i ments of maize, were going to be immense. The growing of small; white maize had been mist, successful, and it'was* selling at »£G fis. per' ton, which was 10s. more than was got in Hamburg: for thK'snme maize. • .Mr. R. 'J. Glasgow added that white maize growing -was easier, and. more profitable than yellow maize. Brazil's experience with coffee is paralleled oil* a smaljer scale, by. Greece's experience'with currants. .Greece iiow practically .supplies the world with currants—or could. do sb. . And this from an area not greatly larger than the countW of Cumberland. The over-production, however,' has "driven' the Government "there to devise -means of j restricting exports. Portion 'of. the crop :ha£"^been..retained and made into brandy 'and • wine, 'to which aro now added 'motor spirit.- There is a currant bank to finance these processes. Tho Government also' make 3 it optional for certain taxes to be paid in' currants instead of cash.. But it is found to be a. difficult.business to' regulate the.export offerings. • The fact, however, that an insignificant patch.,of Jand in Greece can produce a? many, ciirjai\£s as the world has any particular use for ;is. worth keeping in mind by those enthusiasWiiflvo aro inclined to picture up thousands of intense culturists in our irrigation areas'growing currants and. kindred things for tho fruititig of the world's cakes. LIVE STOCK.SALES. MAI^AWATU SPRING CATTLE FAIR. The .New Zealand' Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd.,'and Messrs.

M'Kefizio. The 'day proved' exceptionally fine. There was a very large attendance of buyers from tho Wairarapa, Hawke's Bay, "Wanganui, Ttiranaki, and local-buyers were prominent, a most-satis-factory salo resulting.. Bidding was-very keen indeed' for all .lines of young cattle offered, and the first 1100 Were sold under the hammer. The various lin'ee of cattle were placed before the. public in an especially attractive manner, ind great care had evidently been exorcised 1a

At Aldington live stock market to-day thero were fair entries of stock and a moderate attendance. Fat cattle showed a little improvement, as did store sheep. Fat . lambs were easier in consequence of a largo entry, and there was a decline in fat sheep towards the end of- the sale, as the supply exceeded the demands of the butchers. Pigs sold well. Store and dairy cattle were in poor demand. Numerically the yarding of store sheep was about the same as at the previous week, the bulk of the entry being hoggets. The sheep offered in this department were generally of a better class than during the past few weeks. The tone of the market was better fir all descriptions, buyers operating with more confidence than at recent sales, no doubt in consequence of the better tone of the wool market. Compared with the previous sale there was an averago advance of Gd. to 9d. per head, ■ and in a few instances up to Is. All lines were cleared at auction. Of ewes and lambs only two pens ■ were entered. One of these, aged ewes, realised Bs. 9di, all counted, and the other 12s. Ewe hoggets brought up to 14s. Gd.; good wether hoggets, 12s. Gd. to 13s. Gd.; good lines of mixed sexes,_ 12s. Gd. to 13s. 2d.; and inferior to medium lines, 10s. Gd. to 12s. Wethers, of which there was a small yarding, made .up to. 15s. 9d. i The entry of fat; lambs was the largest this season, and they were mostly well grown and of nice quality,' The larger number had the effect of bringing down prices about 3s. per head as compared with the. previous week. Tho best sorts made 17s. to 205., and lighter 18s. to lGs. Gd. Tho yarding of fat sheep included a number of really good lines of wethers, a few pens of good owes, and sevoral lines .of merino, wethers. The market- oponed at about last week's rates, but towards the close the competition foil off,'as the butchers filled their requirements, and ultimately a number of lines liad to be as the supply-was larger than the trade required. Tue range of prices was:—Extra prime wethers,' to -285., Gd. ;■ prime, 20s. to 245. 9d..; lighter, lGs. Gd. to 19s.

The entry in tlio fnti cattle pens was a small olio, consisting-of- 194. head, .rhe' quality compared with -some recent sales - was -good, and prices showed an improvement on recent sales. Best steer.beef-made from 245. to 285.; medium, 21s. 6d.: to 235. 6d.; and cow.beef, 18s. to 21s. per 1001b..' Steers.realised .£6 17s. Gd. to .£11; extra to .£r2; heifers,-A5 ss. to i£9 15s'.; extra, to .£lO ss.' A'medium entry of fat calves met with tho customary demand, prices' ranging from is. 6d. for very small'animals, to J2 13s.' for well; grown calves. Tho yarding of store cattle was only a-medium one, and mostly in poor condition, and as has .been the oaso for some time, the" demand was weak.' Yearlings made 28s. to 30s. ;• 2-year heifers, £2 10s. to £2 155.3-year' steers,' £1 lis.; 3-year heifers, £5 65.) and dry oojre,. -£l .'•2s;' Gd. to .£3. A small yarding of dairy cows again met with a poor demand, and sales- vera;difficult' to make. The .bulk of the yarding : were . old cows in very low condition, and no one;appeared anxious, to' purchase. Representative- ranged.-from; io3'lto .£6 2s. Gd.' Only small entries came -forward in the fat. and store pig. pens, and all descriptions were keenly competed for, selling at, .prices', in advance of those .ruling at rebent sales. Choppers, .which elicited less competition than other classes, realised up to £5 10s. Large .bacoriera made 70s. to 80s., and medium 58S. to 68s;, equal to fully 6d, per lb, Largo porkers brought 455. to 555., and smaller 355. to 445., equal to from GJd. to 7d. per lb. Large stores, 30s. to 38s. Gd. ; smaller, 225. to 285.; and weaners, 20s. to 255. ,
