The Chairman said:→Gentlemen, the report and accounts having been circulated for some time you will, I presume, be prepared to take them as read. It is matter of much regret to the general agents and consulting com- mittee that the year's working should be attended with such an unfortunate result, but having regard to the altogether exceptional") Conditions which prevailed it will, I venture in think, be no surprise to those of you who have followed the movements of the sugar industry during that perior. Reference has frequently been made from this Chair to the necessity of purchasing supplies of raw sugar well ahead of our needs, and at last annual meeting, it was, indicated to you that the purchases effected in the autumn of 1901 to meet our requirements"||

The Chalman said-The report and ac counts having been in your hands for some time we will, with your permission, f: How the

usual course and take them as read. From what passed at the last annual meeting of shareholders, you are aware that the chances of resuming work at Malabon were then re- mote fur reasons which were fully explained by the chairman and which it is scarcely neces sary for me to septat. The position did not improve during the year under review, and the refinery has perforce remained silent ever since our last meeting, so long as the im- portant question of the tariff between the United States and the Philippines remains un- settled, as is at present the case, I would counsel

table decline in silver, there would have been an actual loss. As a result of this glutting of consuming markets it was necessary to work short time for the greater part of the year, which of course means increased cost. I should here say, however, that even had other condi- tions allowed pf it, we shold probably have been unable to attain our normal output be cause of scarcity of water owing to the un precedented drought which prevailed last year. In China it was not possible owing to beetĮ competition to raise prices to a level cares. ponding to the enhanced cost of production) resulting from lower exchange. The position has been further aggravated by the higher wages which in common with all other local industries we have had to pay for native labour, and by an increase in our ordinary trade ex. penses due to the depreciation in silver. I trust have in these remarks conveyed to you the exceptional circumstances which in the accounts before us-a result as dis- appointing as at this time last year it was unexpected. The Brussels Convention having now been ratified we may indulge in the hope that when it becomes operative during the coming autumn such an enormous over-produc. tion of beet will be a thing of the past and that competing with Continental countries upon level terms we may be able not only to hold our own but revert to the prosperity of former years. I shall be pleased to answer any questions which shareholders may wish to put bearing upon the report and accounts now before us. (Applause) As there appear to be no questions, I beg to move the adoption of the report and accounts.

There being no questions the Chairman proposed the adoption of the report and accounts.

Mr. Barlow seconded, and the motion was carried.

Haddon Chain- bers' Tyranny of Tears was staged last even- ing by the trough Company, and hearly though the applause was on occasions we hardly thought it vigorous enough to do justice to this remarkably fine comedy: a comedy natural almost to the point of a fault; a comedy that is occurring around us every day and perhaps developing into something approaching tragedy For two and a half hours we set and enjoyed the finest humorous domestic play it has been our lot to witness for many years. We were about to say that there never was a dull moment from start to finish, but as this does not, by any means, do justice to this sparkling production we must say that never once did the comedy descend even to the mediocre.

IT LOOKS LIKE A FRAUD. Some time ago a man who said he repre- sented an American company visited Canton in the interests of what he called "The Univer sal Oil Purifying Co." This agent succeeded. in selling a good many dollars work of his wares. One firm bought over Scco worth and agreed to act as agent. The goods delivered are in the forin of a powder, This powder put into kemene oil is supposed to work some change in it by which the lighting properties of the oil are i creased.. The lamp chimneys are also rendered less breakable.. It is a fact that in the Uni ed States there is a powder which its maa acturers claim will do this and also reduce the amount of oil consumed. This agent who has lately visited: Canton may be all right and his powder genuine. His boxes: however would indicate that the whole thing it a fraud. I have tried the powder and have been unable to detect the slightest increase in the brilliancy of the light. I give balow the description of the powder as it appears, on the latel of the large box. Any European reading it will not be likely to buy the powder. He will likely conclude that some Chinaman has had a band in preparing it. It is as follows a
