In reply to a question by a shareholder Tim Sha Tsul for the information of masters in the course of the meeting, Mr. Kon albo, managing director of the company said: that "towards the end of last year here when the market was low, the company purchased a stock of raw cotton sufficient to last to July next. He farther said that all the yarn to be produced up to the end of May next was already sold "The directors believed that a profit of V120,000 to Y130,005, could be cleared for the present half-year, though this estimate might be a little reduced if the yarn market in China proved ung favourable. At any rate the company would not be involved in any loss. In his opinion, the cotton-spinning industry in China could not by any means prosper Chloere spinning mills might make a proft on account of the fluctus. tion of silver, but this would not last long." With the exception of small dipficts, Chius was not fit for the cotten spinning industry ba cause of the climate, and there was no cause

redress for the loss sustained by them on ac- count of the precipitate probibition of the parị- mutuel met to-day at 1.20 p.m.
Dealing with this question, General Viscoubl Terauchi, Minister for War, as President of the Stud Bureau, explained the action taken by the Government. He said that in Japan people took much less interest in horses than in Europe and America, lo consequence the improvement of the breed of hories was confined to theoretical discussions and little was achieved in practice, The Government, -considering it advisable to encourage the pub. lic to take more interest in homes and thus promote the improvement of horse breeding, permitted the establishment of race-courses 'as being most suitable for the purpose in view, the racing clubs being allowed to operate the pari-mutuel in connection with the races. Course the pari-mutuel was a bad thing, but it was tolerated in view of the necessity for im-
proving the breed of horses. Accordingly
DI
number of racing clubs were established Va fortunsely all sorts of evil resulted from the pari-mutuel Warnings ware gives to the clubs after the spring race meeting of last year, despite, which the evils increased in the autumn. In October' lnit the new Cri- minal Code came into operation, which makes all gambling a criminal offence, and the -pari-mutuel was consequently probsbited. The principal caure of the probibition was failure on the part of the racing clubs to profit by the warnings of the Government. In short, the, clubs brought the calamity upon themselvas.
When the Minister resumed his seat, many questions were asked. Among others M. Seki, Progressist, who is a director of one of (hn:facing clubs, asked why the Procurators visited the Naruo race-conise on May 25th last 10 examine the pari-matus!, seeing that on that 'day the new Criminal Code had not yet come into operation,
Notwithstanding the number of ‘questions, the bulk were ignored. General, Terauchi merely replied that the Government had not considered any proposal to grant compensation fo the racing clubs.
Mr. Fujimajo Motozo, member for Osaka-tu, rose in indignation, and said that the probibi. tion of the pari-muinel was a piece of work on
