COTTON MILLS, LTD.

On The Year's Activities: Results"

Low But Satisfactory

A hope that the Chinese mills would take stock of the position and cease to produce goods that were not required was expressed by the chairman at the thirteenth ordinary meeting of shareholders In the Ewo Cotton Mills, Ltd., which was held in the offices of Messrs. Jardine, Mathesori & Co.. Ltd... general managers, 27 The Bund, Shanghai. With these mills lay the salvation of the Cotton Mil industry in China, their great- est and leading industry to-day. he concluded.

Members of the consulting com- mittee who supported the chal- man were Messrs. H. Martin Little, A. W. Burkill, L. J. Davies, G. L Wilson, Zee Quan-yuen, 'and Chun Bing-him. Shares present totall- ed 169,407.

Reporting, on the year's activi- ties, the chairman şald:-

whilst exports have Increased some 60 per cent. over the same period.

Little Hopes for Good Year Last year I did not give you much encouragement to

expect good results; unfortunately, my remarks were justified. This year again I regret to say thas I am still unable to hold out much hope for 1934, but it is my sincere wish that I may prove a very bad pro- phot.
