Tin', third annual mooting of shareholders in the Industrial and L'rovitlont I'ormanout Euikliug Land and Investment Society was held last evening, Mr Thomas Peacock presiding. Directors' Report.—The Following re port was submitted by the Board of Management:—"The accounts show that for the past financial year interest after the rate of 8 per cent, per annum has been lian been credited to investing members, and the Hoard now recommend that out of the balance of profit ,-i dividend after tho rate of - percent, be credited, in accordance with t,l)O rule;:, to investors' and borrowers' accounts. The business of the Society is of the soundest character, from the fact that no security of a doubtful nature has been accepted, and while tho accounts show a fair and reasonable prolit they also conclusively prove that only very moderate charges for interest are mnde. This Society has already been ot great beuelit to numbers of persons, but the directors would like to see a much larger number availing themselves of tho advan tages which it ofl'ers both to investors and borrowers. The object of tho present mem bers should be to extend its influence sons to obtain the fullest benclit from co-opera tion.

Of the amount of £20,000 seci,<:-itie.«, the sum of £0,600 was deposit mcuey which had been used by the Society, He thought it would be better if the whole of the money they had let out were from in vesting share holders, as persons could not be connected with them without bringing business. It was gratifying that besides the S per cent, interest they could declare a bonus of 2 per cent which, although not so much as last year' was practically 12 per cent, on the money paid in during tho year - Mr G Aiekin seconded the adoption of tho report and referred to the advantages of extending the influence of tho Society amon«Ht the working classes.
