The official liquidator of the Portsmouth, Port-
sea, Gosport, and South Hants Banking Company
has announced a sixth dividend to the creditors of
that company at the rate of ls. 61 in the pound
(making, with previous dividends, 19s. in the
Pound).
A Shareholder asks why the dividend on the
Metropolitan Railway of only 71 miles is not made
known as soon as the dividends of other lines of
100 or 200 times its magnitude? The answer is
understood to be that the accounts on this occasion
ate ilas—SlngthrOUghentirely new hands, the audi-
tors having been authorized to seek the aid of
Alesrs. Turquand, Youngs, and Co., by whom
extra time is of course required fur an elaborate
investigation such as is now to be completed. The
task is believed to be nearly finished, and the an-
nouncement of the dividend to be proposed is ex-
pected early next week.
The bill for guaranteeing a Canadian Loan of
£300,000 for the purchase of Rupert's Loan from

Government of Canada are to undertake to remit
lthe 5 per cent, per annum which will thus be re-
uircd to four trustees, two to be named by the
Treasury and two by
f Canada, and the investment
3, the sinkie ng fund is to be made in such mliner as
Itill time to time
Treasury and the Canadian Government may
r°l
Imediately after agree upon. The loan is to rank

last Year.
