Another satisfactory year's working of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels, Ltd.,. was reported by Mr. J. H. Taggart, at the ordinary yearly meeting of the Company, which was held on March 18.
•
The Chairman announced, that the Company had re- fused an offer of six and a half million dollars for their Shanghai properties. This fact was favourably commented upon by the Hon. Sir Henry Pollock, K.C., and by Chev. J. M. Alves who said that he was optimistic as to the future prosperity of Shanghai. The meeting is fully reported in the

A net profit of $1,040,823.17 for the year 1931 was re- ported by Sir Shou-son Chow at the thirteenth ordinary annual meeting of the Bank of East Asia, which was held on March 19, at 10, Des Voeux Road Central. This amount was stated to be somewhat less favourable than the profit for the previous year, but it was nevertheless adequate to enable the same dividend and usual bonus to be maintained. A report of the meeting is given in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
