The Chairman said :-Gentlemen, with your permission I propose to treat the report and accounts as read. It is a matter of great regret to the Consulting Committee and the General Agents that the report now before you is so unsatisfactory.

It is not deemed expedient to depart from a system which prior to that year has girea good relis, and with the approval of the Consulting Committee the General Agents have made contracts for the 1856 Java crops, which, as the market at present stands, should improve the position of this gear. I may mention in this connection that latest advices from Java announce that three-fourth of the Java growing crop have aheady been sold, and you will thus readily understand how we are compelled to make forward contracts for sugars, some of which may not pass through our Refinery until many months after purchase.
