Hinds Saleyards Com pany, Limited.

The third ordinary general meeting o! the shareholders of this company was held m the Binds J?cl oolrnom, on Mon day evening last -Mr William Chisnall, chairman of directors presiding. The pchoolroora was fairly well filled with tharehuldei h, and much interest was 'evinced m the proceidings. The chair-j nan staUd the pur pones for tthich the meeting was held, and requested the becrttary to read the DIEEOTOSB' KBPOBT. Since tho la-t ordinary general meeting of fciiu bharehuldsrs Meat-.n McLean and Mftttiou resigned their seats as directors, ft id Messrs Hmsey and Studholme, junr , were elected to the vacant seats, as Mr Studholwe will mt return permanently t<» tl is (Strict f»r sonae tiai*>, ho has re feigned, accompanying his resignation with Ins expressed desire »nd intention of forwarding ihe pioaperity of the com p'+nv m every way he can when he re turns to reside permanently at Cold stream, During the year the directors held fourteen meetings, at which the beveral attendance wore:—William Cbis nall 13, Roberl Tarbottnn 13, Thomas Holmes 12, James McKeage 12, John Withell 9, Angus Horsey 5. Hamish McLean 4, David T. Mateon 2. It will be necessary for the sharnholders to elect two directors m the places of Messrs James McKeage and John Studholme, junior. Two extraordinary meetings of shareholders were held at which authority was given to the directors to raise £250 on mortgage of the company's bulidings and land. Articles of association con taining this authority have now been registered, but; the directors desire to avoid mortgaging the company's property. The sum of fifty pounds has been paid to Mr James McKeage, and a promissory note given to him for £51, as payment for ten acres of land bought from him, and the directors intend to have the transaction completed immediately. Dur ing the year thirteen sales have been he'd, and the directors can safely say thst the prices realised for stock will very favorably compare with the prices at any other aaleyards, but while this is so, they regret to have to add th%t persistent efforts bave been made to spoil the sale. Stock has been entered and advertised for , the sale, and yet the owners have been compelled to take their stock elsewhere. Representations have been made on this endeavor to spoil the sale, and the directors are glad to be able to inform the shareholders that two fresh auctioneers have now commenced business at the yard:?, and that another fresh auctioneer intends to cornraerjce business at an early date. The directors also know of three large stations that intend to support these yards, so that no doubt can possibly exist that those who desire to support the yards ftud the district can for tha future depend on a large and important salo at Binds each month. The director* think it desirable that the profits, at present, should go towards paying off the over draft at the bank. But little doubt can exist that during the current year the receipts from the sales will largely exceed that of last year, and that they will be m a position to recommend the payment of a dividend at the end of the current year. During the year close on 70,000 sheep have passed through the company's yards and the operations of the shearing shed, of the sheep dip\ and of the s&leyards have each been successful, and have resulted m good profit, which, with the much better pro epECts now opened for the company, will noubtless be much increised durirg the year entered on. The chairman m moving the adoption of the report and balance sheet aaid he was much pleased to be m a position to congratulate the shareholders on the continued success ot the yards during the pasty.ar; notwithstanding that, as re gards the sales, they had had to contend wiih much quiec opposition. The directors had taken step? to counteract this opposition, and had been thorougly Eucce • fuL Great as hkd been the success of the sale hold lhac day, he con fidently predicted that the aal<s m future would be even more suoce sful. Today they had hai a laige entry ot stock, and had been f*vor. d with a large number of buyers, some of wlwrn had r>ot been able fco gef what sheep they required. They had devlc with close on 70,000 sheep during the year, and although the c m pany had nor been m operation for two y ar# y<-', after paying all working ex pends; they had made a clear profit since htarting of about £70, This he thought was very satfrfactory. The shearing Khed, the salf yards and the cheep dip were great conveniences to the farmers of the dis trict, who were able to shear and to dip their theap close at hand ; and when they had stock of any description to dispose of they could depend on gatting, ac the very least, as good a price at Hinds, as at any other saleyards. He had much pleasure m moving the adoption of the report and the balance sheet. Mr Brooks seconded the motion, and %i a shareholder expressed his satisfaction at the continued prosperity of the Com pany. The motion waa carried unanimously. Mr Sawle moved a resolution that the best thank so( th 3 shareholders be tendered co the directors for their services du;lns; the pist year. He remarked on the ad vantages of having saleyards close at hand. Every sheep farmer knew that driving long distances detracted much from the selling price of sheep. He mentioned three or four country dis'ricts, each of which was much smaller thai the Hinds district, and each of which held a successful monthly sale. Mr McDowell seconded the montion. The ctWrman, on bel-af of the directors, thanked th 9 shareholders f.>r their con fidence, and a-B»re'i them that »heir be-tfc efforts would be directed to the furthering of the interests of the Company. A ballot for the ejection of two fresh directors resulted ia the election of Messrs James McKeage and Duncan McKenzie. Mr J. C. Duncan was elected auditor to the Company. The meeting then separated,
