The third ordinary annual meeting of shareholders the Hongkong and Canton lee Manufacturing Co., Ltd., was hell yesterday at noon at the Company's town office, No. 2, Lower Albert Road, Mr. T. G.

Acting Secretary).
Alter the secretary had read the notice souvening the meeting,
The CHAIRMAN said: The accounts and report for the year ending 1st July saving been in your hands for the pre- scribed period, I will, with your pormis sion. take them as read. The profit for the period under review, afcunts as you will have seen, to $5,595,, roughly $3,000 ibes than shown in the previous year's working. Your Directors recom- mend that the profit be dealt with in the following manner. To write off on ac- count of depreciation and bad and doubi ful debts 83,300.83, and to deduct the balance, viz., 82,301.00 from the debi. balance brought forward from last year, thus reducing the same to $38,458.06.
In his speech last year your Chairman associated the poor result of that year's working with the unsettled state of affairs in Canton and district and I cannot do otherwise than reiterate his remarks, for conditions there have certainly not im- preved since then. The political troubl.. which started in June last resulted, you know, in the closing of all commun cations to the City, leaving us with only the requirements of the iew remaining residents in Shameen to, cater for, Yet will be pleased to learn that although a our Chinese employees left at the com mencement of the Strike a continuous service has been maintained. Ice has been on sale throughout, and althoug! heavier stocks of perishable produce than usual were being stored they were success fully cared for. Before going further 1 should like to take this opportunity a expressing our thanks and appreciation to the Commandants of the American, French and British Flotillas for the kind assistance, sise to the Shame Municipal Council and Volunteers fo. assisting in the matter of distribution etc.

Before Mr. R. E Lindsell at the Central Magistracy yesterday, thirteen Chinese were summoned for playing a game of chance. There were seventeen in all summoned, but only thirteen ap peared. One of the defendants appeared late, and he was ordered to leave the Court and forfeit his bail of 86, His SELTONA is a collodion Self-Toning paper Worship remarking that he should have giving beautiful sepia prints by fixing only, heen there in time.
ple are dealing in shares which are giving a definite return on money in vested, whereas in 1910 the greater part of the money spent was in virgin esläten. There are various good reasons for the prosont interest in the community in plantations, for not only has the London market shown a big advance in past months, but the companies in which operatore deal here have paid some two million or more taels in dividends dur ing the past year. In addition they ar certain, to pay even more bandsome returns within the next few months.
When the London share market some time ago, responded to the better value for the raw material Shanghai was very slow in following suit, and, the rrison, for this was that local operations were then confined almost solely to the foreign community. Since then, however, a ver considerable amount of Chiness buying has taken place, and it is stated that staked 32 and won 82, after which he Chinese are now firm holders of shares.
Notwithstanding the magnitude of the settlement it is understood that a con- siderable amount has already been ar ranged and that the remainder will be comparatively easy, although it will be a late hour in the evening before it can be completed.
