The Committee of Direction have the gratification to an-
nounce that the ALLOTMENT IS CONCLUDED; and they much
regret the necessity they have been under of reducing considerably
the proportion of Shares applied for in most instances, and of omitting
altogether the names of many highly respectable applicants. The
immense number of applications rendered this course unavoidable.
The Committee of Direction trust that those parties who have not
received an Allotment, will accept this as an explanation.
