(SPECIAL TO PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

London, October 26,

JJank of New Zealand shares are minted here at /18. Referring to the received here that the Bea& pays no dividend to share aelliers for the half year just :'seeed, ' the " Daily News " states ijsat no cause for alarm is dis closed. The " Standard," however, declares that the non-payment of divi dend by the great New Zealand bank ing institution, makes it evident that the colony Is going from bad to worse. Colonial stocks generally are slightly weaker.

[According to advices received by last San Francisco mail, Bank of New Zea land shares were selling on the London Exchange in September last at ss, closing quotations being 10s, so that there would seem to have been a considerable fall in value since then.]

PREVENTED.

A POLICE YARN.

[special jo press association.]

London, October 26. The police have published a story to show how they connect the supposed

'dynamiter on whom an inquest was lately held • with the Clan-Na-Gael organisation. One of the leaders of that society named Millen, had accord, ing to this story, arrived at Boulogne from America in April last, with a view, to proceeding to London and arranging for a series of dynamite outrages during the Jubilee festivities. Owing to police warnings, Millen never visited England, but employed Mel ville and others as agents to do the work. As he suspected that outrages would be attempted, Mr Balfour gave instructions to the police,; who cleverely dogged every conspirator' whether in England or at Paris, Boulogue or Amsterdam, with the result that the perpetration of out rages was prevented.

The following inedala were then presented to the winners by Cap tain McDonald, viz. : Set'gt.-Major Barron was presented with the gold medal given to the corps by Captain McDonald. In making the presentation Captain McDonald said that he had very much pleasure in presenting the medal to the winner, as that was not the only medal he would wear, as Sergeant-Major Barron had already the honour to wear medals which were granted to him by his country for long service and good conduct, and for his services in the field when under fire, and it was with great pleasure that he could say to Sergeant-Major Barron that he (Captain McDonald) could claim to share some oi that honour also, as he likewise had the honour to hold the New Zealand warmedal. Seigt. Brownwaspreseiitedwith the medal given by MrT. Peacock, M.H.R., Col.-Sergt. McDonald,with the medal given by Jos.

THE SAURIAN MONSTER.

STRANGE CAPTURE AT RAGLAN.

WHAT IS IT 1

(by telegraph.—own correspondent.) Hamilton, this day.

The following telegram was received in Hamilton last evening from the " Waikato Times" correspondent at Raglan :—" Rag lan, Friday. The capture of the Hamilton saurian monster off the South Head of the Raglan Harbour was effected this afternoon by one of the natives of Kopua, named Rawiri. He put two bullets through his head. It is 12 feet long, and 6 feet in girth, with two large screw-like propellers, in lieu of a tail. It was found slumbering on the beach bat still alive. Its head is like that of a leopard, with two rows of formidable teeth, 12 in each row. The skin is of a light, grey silver colour. It has been taken off care fully with'legs and head. On opening the body, two pouch-like stomachs were found full of birds, with feathers, etc." An offer has ( already been made by a Hamiltonian for the purchase of the monster, with a :tiew of .exhibiting it through the colonies.

Tenders were opened at noon to-day by Messrs Paul and Iripjp, architects, for erect ing fences, brick W.C.s, and sundry drainage, etc., at rear of Pier Hotel. Mr 0. Kay was the lowest tenderer,

HELENSVILLE TIMBER COMPANY.

The sixth annual meeting of the share holders of the Helensville Timber Com pany (Limited) took place this morning* when the following report and balance sheet was submitted :—

Your directors beg to submit their sixth report and balance-sheet for the year end ing 30th September, 1887. The mill and machinery have been maintained in efficient working order. The cost of all repairs, be sides the sum of £255 12s 3d for deprecia tion, has been charged to Revenue Account. The balance of the year's trading, after de ducting the above sum of £255 12s 3d, shows a loss of £1,916 19s, which, de ducted from the amount brought forward from last year, still leaves a credit at pr<jfit and loss account of £621 Is lOd, which, subject to payment of £38 17s for directors' fees, it is proposed to carry forward. The loss Is mainly to be attributed to difference in rates of valuation of stock as compared with last year. In accordance with tho Articles of Association, the directors re tiring are Messrs Isaac McLeod and H. P. Kavanagh. Mr Isaac McLeod offers himself for re-election.. The auditor also retires, but is eligible, and offers himself for re-election. —Arthur Bull, Chairman.

Balance Sheet at 20th Septkmber, 1887.—Liabilities: Capital, 4,000 bhares, at £5 each, £20,000; capital issued 1,773 shares at £5 each, paid, £8,865; capital issued 4 shares at £1 each, paid, £4 ; bills payable, £1,479 lls 3d ; National Bank of New Zealand, £3,544 lls lid; accounts owing by Company, £1,396 7s 8d ; dividends unpaid, £8 4s ; balance nrofit and loss ac count, £621 Is 10s : Total, £15,918 16s Bd.

Profit and loss account: To wages, salaries, and contracts, £3,383 5s Id ; general ex penses, discount, and commission, £3,236 4s lOd; freight (railway charges), £1,506 Is 8d : depreciation, £255 12s 3d ; bad debts, £514 16s Id ; balance, £021 Is lOd ; total £9,517 Is 9d. By balance from 30th September, 1886, £2,613 12s lOd ; less directors' fees, £75 12s; rent of houses, £23 2s 6d; gross profits, £6,955 18s 5d : total, £9,517 Is9d. The Chairman, in moving the adop tion of the report, said: Gentlemen, — It is with much regret that the directors have to lay before tho share holders the accounts of tho past year, show ing a reduction in the amount standing to credit) of profit and loss of nearly £2,000, bub reduction in value of stock is a matter beyond your directors' control. In addition to this, an almost entire cessation of local timber business has occurred during tho past year, the only outlet for manufactured timber being limited to tho export trade. Two items amounting to £698 have been included in tho accounts of tho past year, which should properly have been chargeable to the year ending '20th September, 1886, viz., £524 for freight on a cargo, the cross value of which was credited in last year's accounts, and £174 being a refund on another shipment, tho amount drawn against which was in excess of tho not proceeds. The difference in values as compared with last year's prices amounts to £1,230, which, added to tho two iteni3 I have just referred to, and an amount of £64 cost of boring for water, givos a total of £1,992, an amount in excess of tho loss for tho past year. On the let October we had timber at yards and mills to the value of about £12,000, a largo proportion of which was logs in the booms, and in oho cutting up of this it has become apparent that a considerable proportion was of an inferior description, and that due care had not beea exorcised in inspection at tho time it was purchased and passed. We have also had to take a very considerable quantity under a contract entered into prior to the fall in price, so that we have had special difficulties to contend with. It will be seen that our liabilities have been considerably reduced, while our presont stock of timber is in every way superior in point of marketable properties to what it was last year. These considerations en courage us to believe that even with pre sent prospects our business for tho coming year will be of a remunerative nature. Some discussion onsued, Mr Wado con tending that it had cost too much to produce the marketable timber from tho loers and to place it upon the market. The Chairman pointed out that tho wages had been reduced during tho past year to the extent of £700. He thought that as tho Company had held their own during the past year they ought to be satisfied. Mr Seymour George pointed out that tho gross profits had been 4s lid per 100 feet, while tho cost had been 5s 8d per 100 feet.

Mr Horman Brown seconded the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, which was carried. Mr McLeod was re-elected direc tor, and Mr John Milne auditor at a re muneration of £20, the same to include the expenses. A vote of thanks to the Chairman termi nated the proceedings.

The Auckland Yacht Club will hold a meeting' on Monday evening to arrange preliminaries for the coming session It is to be suggested that the season be opened ■with a trip to Motutapu by members of the Club, on November 9th. Owners of yachts of all sizes are requested to attend.
