TXON. ’ 1 From inquiries made at Dunedin on Saturday respecting the reported negotions between. tho Huddart-Farke-r Company and ithg Howard-Smith Company, of Melbourne. in. connection with the proposal to amalgamate the, two companies, it was ascertained (says thb Dunedin “Times”) that, apart from the cable message from Melbourne ,published on Gaturuay, nothing was known of the matter which would justify any speculation on the probable outcome of the negotiations. It is interesting to record that in the balance-sheet published by the .Hbward-fimith Company on the asBelts. side no mention is made of ships, but instead of ships their asset ore represented bv shares in other companies to the- extent of nearly J 5,000,000 paid-up capital. Tho HuddaibParkcr ■ tonnage bbfore some sales recentlv effected totalled 64,000. and comprised about half a dozen ferry boats, three ocean-going, tugs, and six or seven cargo -boats. The lorpi manager of the latter company, when spoken to on tho subject said the Cable from Melbourne was the first intimation he had ree-oived of -any negotiations- on tho question of amalgamation between the two companies.
