In moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, the chairman stated tha£ tho land market was extremely dull at the present time, but the company was no worse than the' majority of land companies, who were also .suffering from the same cause. Land had been selling somewhat better during the past few months than for a long time previously, and building had again commenced on the company's estate.
