of management, providing for bad and doubtful debts, and
rebatingundue hills, thinett profits are 19,0351.7 e. 4d. The ,
directors have already had the satirisation of paying an in-
terim dividend of 15e. per share, and they now propos an
addition thereto of 2a. ed. per share, fres of income tax, thus
making together rather more than 16 per cent. per annum
OD the mean capital worked during the nine months. By the
terms of the amalgamation with the English and Irish Bank
(Limited), the directors received a premium of 32,0001. Out
of this sum they purpose placing 21,3931. 10a. 10d. to • re-

prietors of the Alliance National Land and Invest-
ment Company (Limited) was held yesterday at

were the confusion created by the similarity of the
title to that of the United Kingdom Alliance and
the Alliance Bank (Limited). And also to extend
the qualifications of the directors from fifty to one
hundred shares. Both propositions
_were carried
unanimously.
