THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

TO TEE IDITON OF TIM DAILY NNW/. ...
81.14—1 n your paper of this day it is stated that
k"-
to
"a not very intelligible paragraph Is running the round of
our contemporaries" respecting the probable non-payment r,l
of a dividend on the sham of the Crystal Palen Company. so
Now, the meaning of the paragraph, although I know no Is
thing about the truth of it, appears to me quite clear, via., St.
that the large surplus receipts (say 80,0001.) beyond what el-
is required for management and keeping up the buildiug It.
and grounds have been, or are to be, employed in diminu- 121
lion to that extent of the additional debenture capital re- ill
quired to finish the works. ts
In September last you ware kind enough to bawd my e
estimate of the probable rewire for a year. I have the 124'
satisfaction to say that the net amount received for admie- lii
Mons at the doors sines the Ist of October exceed my calms- .
lotion by about 4,0001. to
I remain, yours, to., 0. T. St.
