JANUARY IL, 1882.
The Monticello Wine Company held its
annual meeting Of stockholders on Satur-
day. Ii was a very full meeting. As was
jocularly remarked by the secretary, this
company is never represented by proxies.
The president submitted his annual report.
He reviewed the operations Of the COM
pany for the year, and made a most en-
couraging statement Of the cOmpany'S con-
ditiOn financially. From the Secretary's
report we get the following figures, show
ing the standing OF the company on the lst
OF January, 1882 Assets, S31 ,03j.G3; liabii-
ties. including the 81, 900 Of stock, $780,
O93.93; surplus, S4,9fl.1O. Thus each
220 shares are worth Sl22. 40. But for the
loss of the cOmpany's cellar by fire in Sep
tember last the shares would have repre-
/ snted $40 each, and but for the absolute
lbs Of over $4,000 by said fire the company
y you'd have paid dividend of 10 to 10 per
&xnt. Mr.. 4. RussOw, who has been the
Essuperintendent for nine years or more, has
fesigned. and Mr.. G.. Arnaud appointed in
"a 900 gallons Of wine OF last years vintage
- basis for future operations. They are
. building tiTepToOf cellar at cost OF
q, 900, and the outlook altogether is very
Feheerfu.
~ Very many people visited the site OF the
q burnt w0ollen mills Yesterday, where seve-
nl hundred hands are at work on the rail-
a road bridge. Ii is said That the cars will
pass over it on Wednesday. With refer
3 ence TO the rccrcctiOn OF the WOollen fac
tory, think il is safe 10 say that it will not
only be rebuilt but will be doubled in capa-
city. Notwithstanding their losses the
ompany is perfectly solvent, and, with its
reputation and advantages in location, etc,
il H. quite likely that a new venture will be
even more successful than the old. 1t can
no, be "rebuilt in thirty days" however.
