With regard to China, I am pleased to state that there has been a steady increase far as i am able to judge, this is likely to ja consumption during the year, und so

continue. I regret to say, however, that although consumption has been upon the whole good, the prices realised have not been as satisfactory as could be wished, but this is explained by the enormous fall in the value of sugar which has taken place all over the world. During the first seven months of last year prices of raw beet sugar in Europe, then quoted at 9/- and over per cwt, were regarded as being at a moderate level, and although there were indications of over pro- duction, it was thought by those experts best qualified to judge that if it declined to about 8/- per cwt, the cost of production would probably be reached, and that there was not much fear of a further depreciation; unfortunately however, these forecasts proved incorrect, as in consequence of the operation of the bounty system in beet-growing countries, and of unen- pectedly large supplies which have pressed on the market, prices have steadily declined, and Beet Sugar is now quoted at the unprecedently low figure of 6s. 6d, per cwt. If there was no prospect of relief from such prices, the future would appear to be gloomy in the extreme, but fortunately, as you are doubtless awafe from what has appeared in the public prints, a con- vention has recently been signed in Brussels: under which all bounties will be abolished on the 1st of September, 1903. It is yet too soon to forecast the effect which this will have upon values, but it is obvious, that it will be beneficial and for the first time for many years the cane and best industries will compete on level terms. In this connection may mention,

A matter of interest, that Mr. Licht, the most eminent authority on sugar statistics, estimates that the quantity of European beet sugar which was bene. Aited by bounties, direct and indirect, during last year reached the enormous ictal of however, that such n. severe fall in prices as I 3,300,000 tons. You will readily understand, just now mentioned is doubly prejudicial to ur trade in the East, as it enables European: shippers to lay down refined beet to compete with in all Eastern markets at very cheap rates, and also depreciates the value of the stock of raw sugar, which as I have explained at previous annual meetings of this Company it is always necessary for us to purchase several months ahead of our requirements. Under these circumstances, we have deemed it prudent to value our outstanding ship

DARING ROBBERY ON THE WEST RIVER.

WOMAN DECAPITATED,

A special correspondent writes as follows - Last week a daring robbery was com mitted in the main street of Takhing (a large town on the West River) the robbers making off with over Saco worth of stuff. The robbers were traced to a small village on the opposite side of the river, at the mouth of Lo-ting creek, and next evening a guard boat was sent down to ariest the robbers. On the arrival of the soldiers the robbers showed fight and during the whole night a fusilade of rifle shots was kept up between the shore and the guard boat: The Captain of the guard boat was shot through the stomach at close quarters and killed, and twe

all cost against an enemy, because if once rushed at, and A hostile force thrown in the very armament would make of it a serious danger. Whereas in its present con dition, even if the Russians were able to capture the port in the absence of our fleet, it would be re-taken at camparatively small expense.

I regret to say that matters in this respect did not improve during the year, as the works have been silent ever since, nor can I hold out any definite hope at present, of their being able to start. I may here remind you that this industry was originally started primarily with the object of refining sugar for the Spanish market, into which, so long as the was admitted free of duty, and that until the Philippines remained a Spanish possession, it
