The scheme for a reforta of the currency which was pressuted by the Minister of Finance to the Mexican Congrosa had been expected for some time past.

There was an application for a modification of the requirements of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance in respect of No. 8, Chang Ching Street.

The owner of these houses contemplated rebuilding the premises, and applied for exemption from previ- sion of backyards as the houses would be fronting Jervois Street with Cleverly Street along the side and Kwai Wa Lane, for a portion of the back.

We are indebted for the following report to the N.-C. Daily News. The nineteenth annuai general meeting of the shareholders in this Company was held at Shanghai on Decr. 19th. There were present: Messrs. W. D. Little (Chairman). F. Anderson, A. S..P. Whir Cooper, and J. R. McMichael, Directors: Leonard Kerr, Secretary; J. M. Young. A. E. Jones, R. H. Gore-Booth, and G. T.

It is soms satisfaction to know that, in this important matter of estate equipment. the manager's difficulties have been overcome. The labour supply is now ample. } One effect of insuflicient labour during last i season is thut the now erop is smaller is area than that just completed; it is hoped, however, that the shortage in ares will be balanced by a higher rate of production per orlung favourable feature in the report, to which I draw attention, is the great increase in the pro- portion which No. 1 sugar bears to the whole outpat. It may be remembered that only a few years ago the proportion of No. 1 sugar barely exceeded 75 per cent; this year. it is practically 95 per cent, and it is hoped that taring this present season the proportion will be still further iner ased, with some prospect of the No. 2 grade being entirely eliminated. The Directors have received Dudgeon, who made a very thorough inspection. long and interesting report from Sir Charles of all departments, and you will be glad to know that he was very well satisfied with all he saw. Referring to the rubber plantation, Sir Charles reports that this is now an imposing grove of trees, between 30 to 40 feet high, covering an area of about 160 acres. The trees, he says, are looking excellent and the manager bepes to start. tapping a few next April, in the following year there should be about 8,000 rasdy for tapping. and in 1907, 15 to 16 thousand.

Mr.A E. Jones asked if any idea could be given of the amount of rubber that the trees would produce:
The Chairman replied that each tree should: produce half-a-pound of rubber at the end of the first year and from two to three pounds at the end of ten years.
Mr. Jones asked for some information as to the price of rabber.
The Chairman said that rubber was at present quoted at about five shillings per pound. The Company had used for this experiment what was simply waste ground and their only expense as labour and the cost of seed; therefore, if the venture turned out a failuro, there would be little expense.
The Chairman proposed, Mr. J. H. MeMichael seconded, and it was carried unanimously: bat the report and secounts as presented be accepted and passed."
