GREEN ISLAND CEMENT CO., LTD.
The 9th ordinary general meeting of the above Company was held at the offices of the General Managers, Messrs. Shewan, Tomes & Co., St. George's Building, yesterday. Dr. J. W. Noble presided, and there were also present; The Hon. Mr. D. Landale, Mesara. D. W. Craddock, J. W. C. Bonnar, and R. G. Shewan (directors), 3. A. Young, H. R. B. Hancock, T. Petrio, J. Robinson, E. T. Bunje, A. S, Ellis, A. Figueiredo. R. Henderson, and 'Ng Hon Te, with the acting-socretary (Mr. J. HT. McMurtric).
The Secretary read the notice convening the meeting, after which g
The CHAIRMAN said :-Gentlemen,-The report and accounts for 1913 have been laid before you, and with your permission I will take them as read." The balance at credit of profit and loss account, after allowing for depreciation ($90,418,89) is $102,241.71, which we recommend should. be carried forward. I regret that the position is not such as to allow of our recommending dividend, but, ander the circumstances, the shortage of raw material which at one period brought the works to an actual standstill, and the consequent loss of some of our old mar- kets and the koon competition now ruling, such a thing could hardly be expected." Our former large stocks of limestone

excellent quality, and admirably adapted, to our needs. The quantity obtainabla", has heretofore been governed by the diff- oulty in securing available steam tonnage at a reasonable rate. We soon found that it was impossible to depend upon getting
a regular quantity by chartered: steamers, and the only alternative was to purchase a steamer for ourselves. We accordingly bought the steamship Consuelo last May to carry our own supplies of limestone from Haiphong. She has been renamed Chingchow, the Chinese for Green Island, and has proved of much value and assistatice to us. She is now regularly employed on the run carrying our lime- stone supplies. As to the renewal of export from Canton, your directors have used every effort to get the Kwangtung Government's embargo removed, and it: this regard uus place on record their at obligations to H.B.M.'s Minister Peking, H. B. M Consul-General at Canton, and the Hongkong Government for the support and assistanco received from them. Although H.B.M.'s Minister at Peking finally succeeded. in getting the authorities in Peking to send definite instructions to the Tutub in Canton to remove the prohibition, and that official has repeatedly assured. II.B.M.'s Consul- General that he has done so, the fact remains that for some reason or other contractors cannot supply us with stone, and no contractor has, so far as we have been able to ascertain, been granted by, or obtained from, the Kwangtung Govern- ment a permit to export limestone, and the Company is in exactly the same posi tion in this respect as it was this time last year. For the heavy losses the Com- pany has sustained, and is still sustain- ing, by the unjustifiable action of the Kwangtung Government, we must look to the Chinese Government for compensa. tion, and your directors will lose no claims opportunity of pressing our through the Consul-General at Canton and the British Minister at Peking, or, if need be, through the Government at Home. The action of the authorities at "Cauton is, a distinct breach of treaty rights, and a deliberate and wantan attack on an important industry of this Colony, and must be atoned for by those responsible. If not, and if such treat ment of British trade is condoned, and the Chinese are to be allowed to cut off trade with this Colony at a moment's notice, there will soon be an end to all commerce between the two places. view of the cessation of our proper supply
