chair, for the purpoite of ratifying and confirming • resolu-
tion of the baud of directors for amending curie 7 of the
artialm of emaciation.
On the motion of the Ciimatimt • resolution for con.
ftiniation was pared unaaimonaly.
Another eximordiaary meeting was then held for the
purpose of giving the directors power to Mclean the capital
of the company.
The CHATIMAN laid, as was mentioned at the last meet-
ing, the object of amending clause 7 was to obtain power to
raise additional capital. Some time ago one of his colleagues
enomeded in founding satisfactory branches at Smyrna and
Constantinople. He then wrote home saying that it was de-
sirable to allot shares to friends of the Molt in Turkey, to
the extent of 10,000. It was intended to time 20,000 shares
in two series of 10,000 each ; 10,000 of them were for Turkey,
and it wee hoped that the list would be beaded by the Sultan
himself. He oencluded by p • tkatthempital should be
increased from 1,000,0001. to 2,000,0001., by imutog, in two
Willi of 10,000 each, 20,000 new shares in the company
of 501. each, the first series to be timed forthwith to
applicants for the same within the limits of the Ottoman
empire, end the mooed seriee as soon after the timing of
the first series as the directors in their judgment should
think proper , such new shares to be in all respects con.
sidered as ordinary shares of the company.
The resolution wee pulsed unanimously, after which the
meeting separated.

the chair.

7'be report having been taken u read.
The Cntramarr said that the directors had nothing to add
to what wu stated in the report, and be therefore moved
its adoption.
In reply to gentian,
The CHLUMAZI added that the directors had no doubt
of the safety of the 7 par cent. guaranteed. The amount
guaranteed was 130,0001., but the expenditure on rolling
stock consequent on the great traffic had increased the cut
of the line to 240,0001. Daring the construction the gua-
rantee was payable, and hitherto it had been paid out <f
capital. He had no doubt that the traffic would cover the
7 per chat., and considerably more.
The SiecurrAay explained that beyond the 1.10.000'.
guaranteed, there were 60,000 deferred preference glare..
and 30,000 ordinary shares, which pee a margin far beyond
the 150,0001. ; so that there would be no difficulty in cover-
iag the entire amount of the expenditure.
After some disunion, the report was adopted, and the
proceedings terminated is thorned manner.
