THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3αn, 1913,
The CHAINAN said: Gentlemen, During the past year the cotton and yarn markele bave ruled comparatively steady With the all- and trade has been fair. round improvement in our organisation this has enabled us to show a satisfactory result for the year's working. The out- break of the rebellion seriously hampered us during the last two months of our working year and, business being prac tically at a standstill, chased our stock of yarn to increase considerably. but it was all sold, and I am glad to say that wo have since had good clearance. Our cotton position is satisfactory, as we are covered at low rates well into the new season, which is fortunate, in view of the sharp advance that has recently taken place. The mill is now on a sound basis, Brad as our spinnings continue to gain in difficulty in favour, wo find disposing of the whole of our output. Throughout the past year we have worked full time on the long day shift, and the position of our order book was such that. the general managers decided to place the mill on day and night work from the commencement of the new financial year. As csual in such cases, we encounter some difficulties with the new unskilled labour, but we are gradually improving in this respect and hope shortly to show an You will increase in our production, observe that the sum of $18,091 has been epent on repairs and renewals, and we may say that particular attention is paid towards keeping the whole of our pro- perty and machinery in a high state of efficiency. Your general managers have had under their serious consideration the advisability of recommending you to branefor the mill to Shanghai, and it is which has been only the large sum invested by the company in land and buildings here, and which would in the event of such a transfer being made be left unproductive, that has deterred us from bringing forward the proposition. The land and buildings new stand in our books at $550,000. $120,000 for land and $400,000 for buildings, and a sum which it would be very difficult to recover by a sale of the property, since the buildings of n conton mill are not very suitable for anything else. I may say that the salo of the 10,000 spindles to Shanghai resulted in a profit of about $60,000. Ou the book value the property account, which stood at $1,616,047 in 1912, now There are many stands at $1,148,407. reasons even at present why Shanghai is & more suitable place for a cotton mill, such as the purchase of raw cotton, the production of which has increased so much of late years in Central and North ern Caina, and the supply of labour, but the chief reason is one which overshadows the future and which will materially affect all manufactories in this Colony. I refer to the possibility of un increase in the Chinese Customs duties. This is
a contingency which we must keep before us, and it may be necessary for me to again refer to this subject at no very distaat date. There is an item in the accounts, viz., $1,000 bonus to be divided amongst the foreign staff at the mill, and 1 feel sure you will approve of the Consulting Committee's action in making tho grant in recognition of good work, under trying conditions of climate and native labour. We are fully engaged two to three with work for the next
