No Visible Signs

Of Slump HK Says Chairman

So far as Caldbeck, Macgregor & Co., Ltd., were concerned there were no visible signs in Hongkong of a business slump, said Mr J. F. Macgregor when he presided at the annual meet- ing of the company this morning.

But in Shanghai there was a different story, he revealed, and it was the intention to close down the Shanghai branch as soon as permission was obtained from the People's Government of China to do so.

A

dividend of three shillings per share and a bonus of one shilling a share were declared.

Addressing the meeting, Mr Macgregor said:
