Loan and Mercantile Company.

(Auckland " Sts,r.") The statement in the London cablegrams to the effect) that the whole amount of the call will be made payable in a fortnight is evidently inaccurate and contradictory. We understand the reconstruction scheme now finally adopted is based generally upon the lines of the scheme drawn up in September last. We believe that what is intended is this:—The old Company will be wound up, and-shareholders will receive notice to that effect;, and of their liability for the balance of unpaid capital (£22 10s a share), but they will have the option within a fort night of signifying that they are prepared to take paid-up shares in the new Company as follows: Two £10 shares and one £3 10s preference ahare for each share in the old Company Upon these shares £5 10a will be payable extending over two years. To assist shareholders in meeting this demand £2 per share only will rank as ordinary calls, and for tbe remaining £3 10s a preference share will be issued, having a first claim upon any profits which may hereafter be- < come available for the payment of dividends. These latter shares, being fully paid, would no doubt be immediately saleable at par. With regard to the capital paid up in the old Company, amounting to £1 10s a share, the scheme provides for writing off £1 10s of this, and crediting holders with 10s paid up on each ordinary share of the new com pany, thus accounting for the remaining £1 on existing ordinary shares. Ordinary shares in new company, after allowing for the call of £1, would thcs have £1 10s paid on each £10 share, with a preference share of £3 10s fully paid up added. The total paid up capital of the new Company would be ±1,380,000. The difficulties that have delayed the settlement of the reconstruction scheme have, we believe, arisen chiefly in connection with the adjustment of the claims of the various classes of creditors.

"Guinea Pigs."

In tha November number of the " In vestors' Review " is a chapter on " pro fessional directors," which ia entertaining as well as instructive. '"The greatest nursery of the guinea-pig species of director is, when all is said, the House of Commons. Nowadays all sorts and con ditions of men take to politics aa a pro fession, end as the direct money rewards of this profession are oaly for the few, the guineas of the company director come in most usefully. Ihe great bulk of these people are mere vugar pushing adven turers, who assume opinions for the sake of making their way into the world, who cannot be trusted in anything to tell the truth—the most repulsive of all kinds of professional directors. They degrade alike politics and business, and cause by standers to wonder what this glorious old land of oura is coming to. They have come to the surface of our modern life, these creatures, not to mark our national progress, but to warn na of national de cadence*" Beside the Rouse of Commons' guinea pig, there is the retired Indian officer, who must needs live in style; there are " lords and lordlins;s, baronets and knights, generals and admirals, colonels and captains, honourables and right honourable 3, aldermen and members ,of Parliament, all grades and conditions of labelled persons, down to the common barrister. See how they throng upon the ' boards' of companies and make tanners of themselves, or tinsmiths, twi ors or tobacconists, washerwomen or brick mikere, hatters or hog-feeders, keepers of gin palaces or dairies, horse dealers *nd knacker-yard owners, or grocers—all and everything cornea handy to these'men if only the due modicum of guineas is forthcoming." Mr Wilson's cure is •'Publicity, publicity. Ko failed com pany should ever be permitted to be wound up in secret. All its affairs ought to be brought befora the court and its directors, etc , ought to undergo public examination like a common bankrupt." Some day, he thinks, v the fashion may change, and the limited * liability prin ciple ' get discarded for a new sort of gold extractor. Till th> nwe are bound to hava all kinda of professional directors with us, and we must put up with them &3 best we can."
