THE CHINA SUGAR REFINING
COMPANY, LIMITED,
An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders in the above company was held to-day, at noon, in the offices of the General Agents, Messrs. Jar. dine, Matheson & Co. There were present the Hon, F. B. Johnson' (chairman) Messrs. F. D. Sassoon, W. Reiners, A. Mariver, W. K. Hughes, (directors) W. Morgan, E. Georg, A. E. Vaucher, E. F. Alford, G. C. Cox, T. G. William son, H. G.

After the notice convening the meeting had been read by the Secretary, the Chairman said→→→ Gentlemen, this meeting has been called to give effect" to the object we had in view at the last meeting, namely, for the purpose of increasing the capital of the company from $600,000 to $900,000 by the creation of 3,000 new shares of $100 each. After what then occurred 1 need say nothing on the advisability of the step we are now contemplating. I may, however, state that in the opinion of the general agents and consulting cominíttee, taking the pre- sent value of the company's stock in the market into consideration, that it was deemed advisable to issue the new shares at a moderate premium and thus create a reserve fund which would doubtless be useful in the future. However, a numerous section of the shareholders, whose opinions we are bound to respect and without whose sanction we could not now pais these resolutions, have expressed an opinion that
1. That the Capital of the China Sugar Refin ing Company, Limited, be increased from $600,000 to $900,000 by the creation of 3,0co new shares .of $100 each, to be issued at par.

The question of Merv demands attention not only on account of what is going to happen there ere long, but because that question has under gone considerable changes since first it was dis- cussed and assumed importance. Already Merv has served Russian purposes. It has acted like the proverbial red herring across the true scent. To follow up the simile, the English hounds have run after Mery, while the Russian fox at Askabad was escaping notice. Russian statesmen must have been alike surprised and pleased. English LAST OPPORTUNITIES statesmen required guarantees from Russia that she did not mean to, and would not, occupy Merv; and there was no difficulty in giving those, guarantees, because another line of ad- vance had been adopted. Thereby_the_great majority of Englishmen were satisfied. They had been led to regard a Russian extension to Merv as a menace to India; and when they learnt that Russia was not going to push on in that direction they breathed more freely. But all this time Russia very quietly was arranging her new departure. Its immediate objective peist was Askabad. The farther objective paints were Serakhs, Herat, Afghanistan. Mery did not lie in the new line at all.
