A General Meeting Of The Canada Company ...
A general meeting of the Canada Company took place on Thursday . The report stated that commercial difficulties prevailing in Canada throughout 1858 , led to a great reduction in the sales of land , in the collections of money , and , in fact , under every head of the company ' s business . Since the commencement of the present year , however , there has been a large increase in the company ' s money collections , owing to the more favourable position ox trade . The assefs show a surplus beyond the amount of capital of £ 807 , 297 , after providing for all liabilities . After some discussion the report was The annual meeting of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company is called for the 27 th inst ., and that of the Oriental Bank Corporation for the 28 th . At an adjourned meetingof the London Assurance Corporation , a dividend of 35 s . per share , free of income-tax , was declared for the half-year ending Lady-day , 1859 . At the 49 th annual meeting of the North British Insurance Company , held at Edinburgh , the directors' report stated that the profit , amounting to 136 , 6291 , realised since last septennial investigation , allowed the directors , after setting aside one-tenth as the proprietors' guarantee fund , to declare a bonus addition of II . 5 s . per cent , per annum on every policy opened with the company on the participatirig * scale prior to 31 st December , 1858 . The directors recommended the usual dividend of 8 per cent ., leaving 53 , 145 ? . 6 s . lOd . to be carried to the rest for the next year .
The China Trade.—According To The Latest...
The China Trade . —According to the latest China news , the export of tea from China to Great Britain is on a par with last year at the same period , but a very large deficiency will appear in the course of a month or two , when the very small supplies of the present season come to be placed against the large spring export of 1857-58 . At this , time last year no less than 320 chops of tea were stored in Canton , and there are now only nine . At I ' oochow the comparative export shows deficiency of 4 , 000 , 000 lbs ., while at Shanghai / there is a deficiency of 8 , 000 , 000 lbs . The balance is therefore made up by the Canton teas , nearly all of which have been already ex ported , whereas shipments had not commenced in February , ] 858 . To the United States there is an increase of 500 , 000 lbs . Silk export to Europe is about 5 , 000 bales in excess of last season , viz ., 58 , 662 bales against 53 , 744 bales .
The Ikon Teade . —The preliminary meeting the members of the iron trade will be held during the week ; but its near approach excites little interest , as it is generally understood to be the intention of the ironmasters not to interfere with existing rates . First-class iron is in good request ; and although the mills and forges of those producing an inferior article have not been kept fully in gear , yet up to the present time there has not been much room to complain . There is a fair demand , for merchant iron , and evidently more inquiry for railway iron . The pig-iron market is hardly so buoyant as it Avas , purchasers waiting to see the result of the deliberations of the trade at the forthcoming meeting *
The Nicauaguan Scheme . — " Although by the recent news from . Europe certain extraordinary details are given relative to M . Belly ' s extravagant pretensions and stock jobbing schemes about the Nicaragua ship canal , the whole magnificent fabric must shortty fall to the ground . We have seen a letter from Mr . Baring , the great English financier , to a distinguished' gentleman in this country , in which M . Belly ' s canal project is spoken of as visionary . Mr . Baring says that none of the English capitalists will touch such an impracticable thing . Our Government is assured that the Emperor Napoleon does not interest himself especially for M . Belly , or any one else , in the ship canal matter ; Louis Napoleon desires simply to favour a , great work , if practicable , which would be invaluable to the commerce of the world . Any wish to promote any particular French interest is disavowed . " —Neio York Herald .
Fkeb Trade in Belgium :. — --The Belgian Customs Reform Association . have had a meeting at Ghent , where the introduction of a more extensive system of freo-trado was powerfully supported by several members , who were fully alive to the importance of the subject . This is a question which has never before found much favour nt Ghent ; and while those who are connected with the woollen trade nt Vorviers , and with the , iron trade at Zjifige , have ever been conapiciou . 3 for their support of frcetrado principles , those engaged in the cotton trade at Ghont—unlike their brethren in Lancashirehave on nil occasions been alike distinguished for their maintenance of tlio Protectionist doctrines . thereforeis duo to
