THE CEYLON ESTATES INVESTMENT 
ASSOCIATION (LIMITED). 
Report by the Directors to the Third Ordinary 
General Meeting of the Company, to be held on Wed- 
nesday, the 8th day of J une, 1887, at Twelve o'clock 
noon, within the Accountant's Hall, West Nile Street, 
Glasgow. 
The Directors beg fo submit herewith the Accounts 
for the year to 31st March, 1887, and they are pleased 
to state that the results have been fairly satisfactory. 
The returns from the estates, which are rather better 
than last year, would have exhibited better results, had 
it not been for the occurrence of a very severe attack 
of leaf disease, which reduced the coffee crop to 
nearly sixty per cent, below the estimate. The price 
realised, however, was good, being about 83s 3d per cwt. 
as against 68s in the previous year. The outlook for the 
current year is good, both as regards crop and price. 
The price of cinchona bas been uupreoedeutediy low. 
the shipments from Ceylon continuing to be very heavy. 
Latest advices point to a very material falliug-off in 
these, but it is impossible to speak with certainty on 
this point. 
The result of Tea-planting operations has so far 
proved satisfactory, and the Directors anticipate 
largely increasing returns from this product. 
The mortgages on estates in Ceylon have been re- 
duced during the year by £1,565 0s 3d, and a farther 
reduction will take place at 30th June, to the extent 
of £1,500 on Cranley, the mortgage on which will then 
stand at £6,000. 
In addition it is expected that the Bond on Hallo- 
wella, amounting to £3,679 13s lid, will be paid off 
at the beginning of July. 
The balance at the credit of Profit and Loss Account, 
including £245 16s 6d brought forward from last 
year is . . . . . . . . £1,700 11 1 
from which the Directors recommend 
that a Dividend of lg per cent be paid, 
which will require.. .. .. £1,350 0 0 
Leaving 
£350 11 1 
to be carried forward to next year. 
The Directors who retire at this time, in con- 
formity to the Articles of the Association, are Mr. 
Wright and Mr. MaeRrayne, and they are eligible and 
offer themselves for re-election. 
The Auditor Mr. Moore, C. A., also retires, and he 
is eligible to be re appointed.
