BUFFALO AND LAKE HURON.

The report of the directors stated that in the
Grand Trunk accounts the amount payable to this
company was put down at £15,424, an amount not
yet agreed to by the board. Out of a gross revenue
of £609,000, after paying £6,050 to the Champlain
Company, little more than £85,000 remained as net
profit, being scarcely 15 per cent. As compared
with the traffic for the half-year ending June, 1866,
the gross revenue had decreased £28,000. The extra
renewal outlay had increased £28,000, being £54,000
against £26,000. The ordinary working expenses
had increased £26,ooo—from 63 to 70 per cent.
The loss on American exchange had increased by
£7,000, and by fire at Sarnia, and Toronto to £lO,OOO,
making the deductions in excess of the correspond-
ing period of last year £99,000. The receipts for
the half-year ending June 30 were generally from
£BO,OOO to £lOO,OOO less than during the autumn
half, so that for the whole year a larger amount of
net profit might be expected. Since August 1, 1864,
the date of joining the Grand Trunk Company, the
Buffalo proprietors had paid towards the extra re-
newal fund £64,219, and in addition £38,013 as
their proportion of the loss on American exchange,
together £102,262 ; a sum more than sufficient to
have paid all preference dividends in full during the
past three years. The directors regretted that the
differences existing in the accounts between the two
companies had not all as yet been adjusted. The
present financial position of the company was £5,000
paid by the Grand Trunk Company on August 29,
which was remitted to the company's bankers in
liquidation of advances towards the payment of
coupon interest due in February last. The company's
resources towards the payment of the coupons now
due amounting to £20,000, were £5,000 payment by
the Grand Trunk Company, Oct. 23, handed over
to tJie bondholders' trustees ; £9,000 claim for per-
centage of Grand Trunk expenses from August 1,
1864, to June 30, 1867, in London and Canada;
£5,000 overcharged on extra weight of rails, £5,000
unexpended on bridge account ; total, £24,000. In
addition, four months' revenue was in the hands of
the Grand Trunk Company, say from the Ist of
July to the 31st of October, which, being the most
productive half year, could not be estimated at less
than £16,000 to date. The Board trusted to be in
fundsshortly, to meet the coupon payment now over-
due. It was the opinion of the Board that monthly
payments should be made on account of revenue due
to this company, and the directors would continue
to press this subject on the attention of the Grand
Trunk Board. The capital account showed that
£1,622,781 had been expended.
