Sir Samuel Davenport, K.C.M.G., and Walter Keynell, Esq. (managing li'rector of Elder, Smith,-and Co., Limited), were •ecently appointed local directors for South Australia. The directors can with every confidence congratulate the shareholders upon the accession ol these gentlemen to the directorate. During the past half-year the Colonies were visited by many gentlemen of influence. Among ihese were Ilis Excellency the Earl of Kintore, the Hons. J. Graham and C. Young, Minister and exMinister of Water Supply and Agriculture for Vic;oi'ia, Sir Samuel Davenport, K.C.M.G., and several Ministers of the Crown and Members of the I arliaiient from adjoining Colonies, Their opinions have ,eon published in the daily press and otherwise, ana ire highly favourable as to the future success of the Colonies and the manner in which the work of colonisation is being carried out by the Company. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the -eport and balance-sheet, stated that in order to •emovo a misapprehension which appeared to exist 10 desired to point out that the Company s operalions were confined exclusively to the colonies of ISenmark in South Australia and Mildura in Victoria. thought it well to mention this, as he tnew that there was confusion in the public mind ipon the point, and that the Company had at times been placed at a disadvantage thereby. The balancesheet and statement of accounts showed that the u/'oinpanv's business was in a very satisfactory state. The net "profit for tlio past half-year amounted to £20,892 lis lid, or more than liij per cent, pet xnnum upon the paid-up capital of the Company, which now stands at £458,436 7s 9d. The directors proposed, however, before paying any dividends, to jtill further strengthen the reserve fund, and to that ■nil proposed to add the sum of £25,000, increasing it to £00.000, or making it equivalent to one-fifth ot the paid-up capital. Ample provision had been made in the accounts for writing off the cost of the irrigation works in respect of land sold, and £11,.10 C been appropriated for that purpose. The progress report submitted indicated the great strides which the colonies were making. Their population, now numbered by thousands, had within itself the elements of future success, and the directors, who it first stood alone, wero now supported in their vast undertaking by thousands of earnest workers. The company's land sale-* had been considerable, and the business of the company generally had been profitable. lie congratulated the shareholders upon the accession to the directorate : >f Mr. Walter Revnelland Mr. Samuel Davenport as lirectors in South Australia. They would bring to Llie Board a large and valuable experience, of a character which he was confident would greatly adranee the company's interests. Mr. J. R. Buxton seconded the adoption of the report. ~ . . ~ . . The chairman, in answer to questions, stated that tho directors had increased the capital of the company by 2200 shares, which had been subscribed for out of an issue which had been authorised by the liiectors under the powers accorded to them by tlio articles of association. The shares were issued at par. less f> per cont. discount for cash. . . . l'lie authorised issue was 35,227, ami it was Quite probable that the remainder of the issue would be jll'ered to the public through the press. Mr. 11. alien pointed out that the company had plenty of uso for all the capital it could obtain.
