remedy tastes, smells or hurts, the more efficacious it is. So says a well-known Rage lish physician. He further adds For texample, let us consider cod liver oil. As it fo extracted from the fish this oil is so offensive to the taste and smell that almost everybody abhors it, and many cannot use it at all, no matter how badly they need it.

This was partly owing to the bigh ex change and partly owing to bad trade.

This vessel brings on Cargo:-
the credit balance at the end of the year. The local business for yarn throughout the year was rather disappointing, indeed it has been disappointing for several years back-over since the Russo-Japanese War, Formerly the bulk of our yarn was sold locally for the many facture of native goods which were exported to Manchuria,' but for
time back Trade in that market has been under a cloud and we are still waiting patiently in the hope. that the impediments which have been made will be removed and that trade will partially at least return to its former channels. Under the circumstances it has been necessary for us to push the sale of yarn in other markets where | we came into direct competition with Indian and Japanese yarn. In that direct competition we are unfavourably' situated inasmuch as we. have to pay heavy likin taxation on our raw material and in addition excise on nur manu.. factured yarn, whereas Ind ao and American cotton is procurable by our competitors in in- dia and japro duty free. It is really astonish-appointed hour.
ing how very short-sighted the authorities in China are to the advantages to be gained from fostering industrial development, The duty which we pay on our yarn added to the excise on cotton is a very much heavier charge then our competitors have to pay in their import duty." We have again made representations on this subject to the imperial' Maritime Customs and also to the local authorities, but so far all our appeals have been in vain and we can' only hope that as time goes on the authorities wil take a more enlightened view of the question and when they do so local industry will benefit by the change. We have not asked in wo these representations fur entire freedom from taxa tion, but what w· have asked, and what we think was a reasonable thing to ask, was that the taxation-1'kin taxation-paid on the raw material should be taken into consideration in giving us a rebate for the taxation of yarn, I the authorities would meet us.ig that extent it would materially assist cotton spinning in China,
Since the date of pur last accounts the unissued shares of the mill have been placed on the market and subscribled for at par and the additional capital thereby obtained bar materially strengthened the financial condition of the mill.
