The secretary having read the notice con- vening the meeting,
The Chairman said-Gentlemen-With your permission I-propose to adopt the usual. custom and take the report and accounts as read. During the first three months of the year under review there was a godd demand for the re finery's sugars in the sorthern markets of China, which, as you are aware, form our chief outlet, and considerable forward sales were. made at prices which though below the abnormal level reached in the year 1905 süll left a fair margin of profit. During the next three montba, however, large supplies of sugar from Tava and Japan began to press upon the local markets, already stocked to their full consuming capacity, with the natural result that prices rapidly declined, and it was im possible to effect any sales of importance during the second half of the year in quarter where
there has usually been a steady demand." Competition became keener and keener, not only in the matter of price but, alio in the quality of the
sugar produced, and when I tell
you that to keep pace with our competitors wa had to raise our standards all round you will readily understand that the cost of production, has very materially increased. In former years it has usually been possible, when local condi- tions have been averse, to find at outlet for our sugan in the more distant markets, such as India, Australia etc; but I regret to say that during last year this was not the casa, us these markets were able to obtain supplies at prices with which we could not compete. You will readily appreciate, therefore, that the year was beset with difficulties, as with our outlets curtailed in the manner above indicated it was impossible to work the refinery except on a much reduced scalo, involving, as is ai- ways the case, greater expense and loss of in- terest. With regard to accounts you will observe that we have still the sum of $345741 at credit of raw sugar rezerva accossat, and this will 'enable us to write down the cost of PAW sugar melted during the current yest The amount due to sundry creditors has again reached large figuros, $1,319,799, and xe in tha past this sum has been provided by your general agents. From what I have outlined above you will, I think, agree with me that the result of the year's working, as, disclosed by the accounts presented to you, 'eñabling us to recommend a. dividend of $8 per share without entrenching upon cur equal. isation of dividend fund, is upon the whole not so unsatisfactory as it might have proved, Regarding the present outlook, I regret that the unsatisfactory conditions obtaining Jast. year are still with us; supplier of sugar are prices of refined-owing to keen petition-abnormally low, and the prospects at the mament the reverse of encouraging. You are well aware, however, that our business is one liable to wide: Asetuations and if the experience of the past is any guide to the fature it follows that sooner or later a favour- able reaction will set in.
No questions were asked.
