COMMITTEE'S REPORT.Ti Tzz Mzzzzss,

In prsssuting the 90th Quarterly Report and Balance Sheet, the Committee have pleasuxs in stating that the totalreceipts for Goods sold during the Quarter is 825,449 10s. 94d. , being an increase of 33,484 7s 2d. , over the ccrrcspondino6 iartcr cf last year. The uctt pro6t on the Quarter'3 business is E2,628 2s. 11&d., which smn will sHow E534 ls. 41d. fcrliiri rest, 21,837 10s. Od. , as Divideud, being 1s. 6d. psr E on Members' purcho, scs, and X48 4s. 8d. , being 8d. per 3 on the

u ihascs of Non-iMciubers; E65 Us. Od. to reduction of Fixed Stock; E108 3s. lid. tc Reserve Fund; and 330 3s. Od. for!.ilucational purposes. 158 persons have joined the Society within the Querier, 23 have withdrawn, aud 15 forfeited as pcrrulc 6, making the present nunibcr 8,664, an increase of 120 over last Quarter.

The Society is ncw prepared to supply all kinds of Household Furniture, and Pianos, Harmcniums, Watches, Clocks,nr . Jcwellcry, although owing to ivant of room, it is uct possible to show a stock of any of the abcve-maned. Members arc:.oii purchasing Furniture from a price list, which may be seen ou application to the manager of the Drapery Department. Thebe rctary vvill, if applieil tc, supply price lists of Pianos and Harmoniums and an illustrated catalogue of the Ccvcnt

Ic oven ry

'' -qpsrativc Watch Manufactvuuug Society. As a specimen insttuinent, the piano recently- purchased by the Educational'cnuuittee from the Co-cpcrativc Wholesale Society, snd now on the platform in the large hall, may be examined by anydcnduig pxavxhzssxn of pianos.

The Ncwhmd Branch has now bceu open 5 weeks and au average trade of 356 pcr week hss been done. In theI*--. rests of themselves and of. 4be Society, thc membszs living in Ncwlsnd will, it is hoped, follow up this good beginning by. , i casing the ttuu-over until a trade is lone quito adequate to the sine of the premises.

Owing tc great dissatisfaction among the members at Welbouru and to other causes, a fresh manager in ivhcui the Com-iircc have ccn6dencc, has been appointed to that Branch. This step will, we feel sure, shortly restore that important Branch to

a sa~ positiou. Iu crilcr still fmthcr to develops our trade there, we have purchased the entire prsuiiscs, couiprisingpresent Bxxaxch Store anil Residence, togeihcr v;ith the Outbuilliugs aud Gsnlen; tive Cottages and a Grass Paddock; and

: -. our coming into posscssiou of the property, the ueccssax1 altcratious villi iuuucdiatcly be made tc rcudcr thc place morc.ciiablc for business purposes.We have not yct bccu abls to secure anv satisfactorv outlet for surplus capital beycml that of pmchasing dwelliu-

! oc«cs for members, to be paid for by them in iustalincntn. the sum of E184283. 3d. has been advanced in this way durino then,carter. Wc have in view other equally safe iuvcstmcnts, but think it advisable to await our cpportuuity, trusting that the

'i-.i ibcrs will m the in ., iu the ineautime, give us their entire support, vvlthout asking for particulars, which, if disclosed aud thus iusdepublic«, iWDakl tend materially to modify the terms we might ctheiuvisc expect to obtain.

ogress is apoa"heigth linesoaz position with tliat of other large Co-operative Societies, we have every rcasoa to be I' 8 l th I,n ' sais c a

that is the zeserve fund.y Sacs and that our future prospects are good. Only in one point does om position need stzcngthen emng

Important resolutions bearing upon this will be submitted tc you at a Gzzzzsx Mzz TING to be hellylcnday, Jun'e%id, dt 7:gfy pJa., 'when we hope to witness ss large sn sf tendance of insmbezs as the nature of the businessit tc command„sesin that og s our future success sud stability wiB be best assured by making umuelves secure against aningeucics, which although nurPh nct expected, might yossibly occurand should tbezsforc aot be treated as if unforeseen. As a

I srther extensions productively, ss urell ss in other distributive branches of business will be undertaken IY we are j«tified indomg so by tbe cordial snpport of the members, for we need hardly point out that so long as there is s hearty reciprocity of feelingbetween the members snd the executive there is scarcely sny limit to the potaaltitites befor J the Society,

COMMITTEE'S REPORT.Tp THE kIRHBERs,

We beg to subiuit to you the 92nd Quarterly Report and Balance Sheet. The total receipts for goods sold duringtho Quarter is 825,034 Ss Giil. The nett prpfit on the Quarter's business is 82,482 5s. 7«d. , which sum will allow 85567s. 11d„fbr Interest, S1,620 Os. Od. , as Dividend, being 1s. 4d. per 6 on Members' purchases, and 461 1s. Sd., bourg Sd. pez g

the purchases of Non-Members; g42 lls. 9d. , beiug 24 per cent per Annum for depreciation of Branch and Cottageproperty; 865 Os. Od. , to reduction of Fixed Stock; S109 138. Ofd. , to Reserve Fund; and 227 lls. Sd., for EducationalpuiToses. lip persons have joined the Society hvithin the Quarter, 42 have withdrawn, and 17 forfeited as per rule 6, makingthe present uumber 3780, au incxease of 56 over last Quarter.

Anew Storekeeper has been appointed to manage the Ssxilby Brsuch, the late Manager not having given entire

satisfaction, either to the iuembers in the district or to us, by liis inehihod oi conducting the business. We expect uow to see anincrease in the membership and a larger trade done there. If each member will try to realize that the business is one in whichhe is a partner, and will co-operate thoroughly with the storekeeper to save unnecessary expense, there is no reason why thfz

branch should not give as large a return of progt as those country branches which have been longer established.1

At the Metheringhsm Branch, which is making sound and xspid progress, the sales for the year that ended on October

Szd &f168, amounted to g3i678 8s. Sfd, and the nett progt was 41251 17s. 4d. Comparing these two amounts with those fpz fhe

uP to October 8th 1884, we gnd that, although Prices are lower, there is an increase of 8593 in the sales, and thenet«pzp6«'s azu g52 more than last yesz. The Annual Festival of the Branch wss held on October 15, and was ampst

You will npfdce that, in pursuance of the report adopted by the Quarterly Meeting held last February, the question pf

hdving bonus to, or shari'ng progts, according to results, with tl e employts is placed among the items of business for the nextmeeting. If a resolution is carried in favour of it, «he Committee ssk for thus to prepare and give the details of a system ofpzpgt sharing, to the members for discussion at a future meeting. IPresemu of lmsiness has prevented us from attending to tfus

,' but as aha Inaugural Address st the late Cowperafdve Congress, and numerous discussions at Conferences whichhave hinged entirely on this most important subject, we do not regret the unavoidable delay in brmging it
