HONGKONG EXPORTERS AND DEALERS.

our report and I should like to draw attention to our circular of the 3rd. October last, concern. ing the co-operation now promised to us by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce with the object of pre- venting irregularities infu'ure Il reats, however, with our members 'to bring any cisims which they might receive from their constitú. eats, to the notice of the Associa tion. Pithout fall particulara sa regards alleged poor quality and unsatisfactory packing, yourCom- mittes is unable to do anything further in the matter.

Considerable time was derated by both the General and the Rice Sub-committee to the negotia. tions, through the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce, with the Rice Association of San Francis oo regarding standardisation of qualities and the general con. ditions of this trade. It thought advisable to issue a fur ther circular supplementing the correspondance published in our year book, so that members could come to this meeting with a full knowledge of the present position. I might still add that within the last few days two more telegrams ware received from San Francia- co, but as their contents are more unintelligible through or loss heavy mutilation, we have to await their repetition before anything further can be done. It looks, however, as if a satisfactory set- tlement will be reached are long.
In conclusion I should like to remark that our present roll of non Chinese membara is stronger than at any time during the ex istence of the Association, so that the temporary drop, owing to the exclusion in 1915 of enemy firms. has now been fully recovered. | which I think is very gratifying. As regards Chinese members, the year has seen a further dwindling down of their number. This is very much to be regretted, but the efforts which have been made, during the last years, to induce the native dealers to join the Association. have heen of no ayail and for the moment must leave it at that.
We
I now beg to propose the adop tion of the Report and Accouats. (Applause).
Mr. D. K. Moss seconded and
said:
Mr. Chairmat and gentlemes, in seconding the adoption of the re port and, accounts it is not neces sary to add much to the illuminating speech we have just heard from the chair. While the falling off of Chinese membership is to be deplor.... ed, it is highly satisfactory to learn that the gap has been filled which was made by the
enemy arms leaving a few years ago. We cer tainly do not welcome the enemy
