Kxamined— What are (o-Downs ¢-$1,000,0 \. $11,000,000, In Friday's columns, we published « remarks. ble statement of the officers of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, showing a vory Mattoring finan- ¢ial condition, and based on which the stock ha Since been manipulated from 40 to 44. The perma- nent dona fide stockholders, however, those who made their investments at 150 and above, do not understand the fleures or comprehend the conclusions deduced fo the report, and severe eriticiem = has Deen occasioned because the business of the Com: Dany, its earnings during the past year, {ts general prospects for remnnerative the future, wave been sodulously avoided. The figures Aro uneatisfactory, because any intelligent ship- Ping merchant weil anderstands that during a yoor's service the wear amd tenr of steamship property, even with ample repairs, should be marked down from 5 to 10 BW cont.; and this is eapechily trae io the present case, when the age of the stoamers of this Company is considered. In the absence of a report such as the slockhold- ers naturally expected from the Directors after a two years’ silence,we will aid them, so far as may be im our power, to arrive at the conclusions, should more properly have originated with their servants. Among the assete, the cash on hand and call loans, amounting to $319,490.02, wo arsume to de correct; but the stockholders desire more information than is given in the report respecting $902,000.06, announced as ‘time loans.” From several parties who ought to be versed im the affairs of the Company, in conseqnonce of their former official positions, as well as heavy investments in the stock, we are assured that » por- tion of the above amount is destined to long remain ander the same einssifieation, and Novelty Tron Works bas been suggested as 8 clue to the proper comprehension of this item, although we difer from this opinion. Yossing to the investments, the Company havo on hand $200,000 8.208 whieh cost $288,987.00, nt as the various iseres, which ranged at the date of the report from 1194 to 114% are not stated, we cannot avproxironte to their actual value, There is given, however, $260,000 of 10-40's, for which was paid 109.90, slthough the same ixeae was selling at date of report st 108%, and a few days previous still lower. The 27,149 shares of Pacific Mail stock are estimated at par, when it is well known that no aales have been made at that price for many months, ‘The report evidently mislonds the ingnir- ing stoekholder, becar ‘no intimation of the time to whieh the same fe made up is stated. A promt. nent holder of the stoek informed us to-das, how: ever, that three months ngo he had practically the same fiznres as given to the public Friday morning. In the absence, therefore, of any data, we assume 40 ns the average price, although the stock sold on the 96th inst, one per cent, lower. It is important, in order to form a correct estimate of the Compeny's assets, to ascertain the price the stock would command in open market, and taki; 10 +8 a basis, stead of $2.714.900, the cor- Teeted asset of $1,085,960, a difference of $1,023,010 The Panama Railroad stock (9,063 shares) is Acured at 180, but 149 was the quotation of anles on the day of the report, although transactions have since vecn eficeted at lower prices. Estimated, therefore, at 149, we bi LFOR 8 further re. dnetion of $24.504. The next item of assets i» “eas in hands of agents and pursers,”” $10,785.59, evidently inserted to further swell the t, a8 we notice below « finbility of $84,: 60 in favor of the same parties. Had not tuis, with other items whieh we shall examine, been thi introduced, the footings of the eredit side would have shown a large defielency. We pow come to one of the most important items —the coal account of the Company, amounting to 63,050 tons, and which # valued at $19.97% ® ton, ‘This is @ slight reduction from last year's memo- ranam, tsaned when the average price was $19.72 ‘The «rest question on which the slockhoiders de- sire Information is, what the coal is actually worth ? and at what price ft can be laid down at the various ports required. We can only approximate in this estimate, leaving the stockholders to judge fur themselves, after stating that the Company during the past fow months have made shiv- menta of coal to San Francisco at a cost for freight of on and $5.00 ton, a portion of such i net cnohon “bus ten dotiars per ton, while at the presont freight rates, the price not exceed $19 dollars ver ton deliv- ered. We therefore deduct the diference between he Comoany's entiimate and prosent cont , $404,900 G8, which ts the nearest we can reach the proper re- <ivetion, ax any one ean discover, if they attempt to foliow the decimals of the Company's coal account.

This reoort is ax well known in Wall atreet as the daily fluctuations in the Company's stock, And yet the two steamers are put int assets ot $930,000, when they have not for wontha made e: ings and probably sbow a positive lows.

One of these was put ou the tag Ancon, and the other is probably on the hulk.

Neither the Costa Rica, Clara Clarita, Togoga, or Ancon are found in the American Lloyds, and a majority of the steamers have not been surveyed since 1866-07, aud 1968 ; while the Northern Light, Ocean Queen, and Oregonian are reported In’ Lloyds as’ not surveyed, aod the term of the class to which the Bt.
