`GOVERNMENT REPORTED UNFAVOURABLE;
A certain official in the Finance Department denies the report circulated that the sugar busl- ness will be monopolised by the Government. This gentleman, whose opinion is believed to be authoritative, stated that the total profit manda by the existing sugar refining companies does not amount to more than 5,000,000. The basi news and Income tax paid by these companies amount to about Y1,000,000 yearly. This income of the Government would be lost should the business be monopolised, and it is calculated. that the profit which would accrue from the monopoly would not much exceed X4,000,000, The Government would certainly not introduce. a new monopoly at the present moment, having t learned a lesson from the salt monopoly, which has convinced the Government of the landvin ability of the system.
