been fully realised. The cultivation of the four estates 
amounts to about 3,600,000 Ledgerianas and 150,000 
Succirubras, making a total of about 3,750,000 cinchona 
trees. The coffee cultivation has beea also enlarged, 
there being 940,000 trees, which is an increase of about 
360,000 trees. The depressed condition of the Cinchona 
market has induced the directors to look out for 
other cultivations. The cinchona crop was estimated 
at about 140,000 kilos, while about 159,750 were re- 
ceived, which realised f.98,750. The crop of coffee 
was about 215 piculs, which were sold at f.45in Java. 
The profit and loss account shows a profit on goods 
and commission of f.90,326, including the balance of 
1887, form which is to be deducted expenditure, and 
the sum for writing off purposes amounting to f.52,514, 
the balance being thus f.37.812, of which f.37,000 will 
be paid as a dividend being 3J per cent, of the capital. 
The Agricultural Company Solo has issued a pros- 
pectus for a subscription on 300 shares and 540 bonds. 
The purpose of the company is to continue working 
the following undertakings in Java: — Troetjoek and 
Temoeloes in the Vorstenlandeu, and Djolong and 
Foenggal AVoeloeng in Japara. As regards the pro- 
duction of these undertakings, the following informa- 
tion is given as to the results of the years 1883 
to 1888. Troeijoek delivered 7,694 bales tobacco; or 
net about 1,183,388 half kilos. ; after a deduction 
of freight and all charges incurred on the sale, the 
proceeds were f. 409,484. Further 1,314 cases indigo 
or net 139,002 half kilos., the proceeds being f.465 
743, or the total proceeds of tobacco and indigo 
f. 875,227, free on board at Samarang, amounting to 
f. 479,741. The net annual profit of this undertaking 
was f. 395,486, or f. 79,097. Temoeloes yielded 3,549 
bales tobacco, or net 568,687 half-kilos., the proceeds 
being f . 179,013, or a total of f . 365,565. After a 
deduction of rent, &c, amounting to f. 202,922, the 
net profit was f. 152,642, or f. 32,528 annually. For 
both estates there was thus annual profit of f. 111,625, 
The coffee undertaking Djolong and Toenggal 
Woeloeng is situated in Japara, district Selowesi. 
The existing coffee estate consists of 300 bouws, on 
which were 470,500 trees old cultivation and 40,000 
new cultivation (1888-89). Further, there are 3,500 
nutmeg trees 2§ years old. The coffee production 
during the last five years has varied from 280 and 559 
piculs per year, and has amounted to 2,018 bags, which, 
after a deduction of freight and all charges, have 
given a net profit of f.87,972. The above mentioned 
estates are the property of Mr. J. van Blarcum, to 
whom an amount will be paid of f.830,000, f.630,000 
being in money, and 200,000 guilders in shares of 
the Agricultural Company Solo. The capital of this 
company is f,500,000, in shares of 1,000 guilders 
each, and f. 600,000 in 5 per cent, bonds, each of 
1,000 guilders. — London and China Express. 
CEYLON EXPOETS AND DISTRIBUTION 1888-9. 
Tea in India.— The season for holding tea auctions 
has arrived, and the sales will commence by the mid de 
of this month, but the quntity offered will probably b° 
small. About 1 20,000 lb. have been exported to Europ - 
on owners' account, against 95,000 lb. at the corres 
ponding period of last season. The reports from the 
districts are not altogether favourable, for while the 
weather has been abnormally cold in Assam rain is 
much wanted in Sylhet, the Terai, and Chittagong, 
and hail storms have done considerable damage to the 
plants in Oachar. To add to the planters' troubles, 
cholera has been raging in parts of the Dooars, and 
in some gardens great difficulty has been met 
with in persuading the coolies to work at all. 
Indian Agriculturist, May 11th. 
South African Agriculturists' Almanac— We 
have been favoured by Messrs, John Haddon & Co., 
3 and 4 Bouverie Street, Fleet Street, London' 
with a copy of this very elaborate and interesting 
publication for the current year. Within nearly 300 
pages of closely printed matter we find a great 
variety of useful and practical information on the 
subject of farming, stock-raising, cheese-making, 
cropping, farm buildings, & 0 . Though the almanac 
is prepared primarily for the wants of Cape farmers, 
still it is a capital shilling's worth for all engaged 
in the pursuit of agriculture, whether at home oi 
broad.
