Replying to a question the chairman said: It is probable we may make a call on January 1,1gu, but not before that, we do not need the money in the meantime,
Mr. Fulcher said he noticed in the profit and loss account that the proportion under Colonial expenses worked out at over 2s, dd, per 1b, of rubber collected. That seemed rather o high figure, and perhaps the chairman could give them some idea of what the figure would be next year. The price of the crop-78, 7d per 1b-was first rate, and at that rate the 15 4d, per lb, cost was not excessive; but should the price of rubbardrop it would be interesting to know what the cost would be grxt year and the following year. It would seam that a rather large proportion of the upkeep charges had been debited to, profit and loss account. The cost of tapping seemed rather low,

PROHIBITION OUT of the QUESTION,
The 'Rangton Gazette in the course of an article on the above subject matter has these remarks on the special position in Barms —
The position of the Government is obviously- a difficult one." Frohibition would, of pecessity,
be a farce unless as part of a wider move- ment which would include China and the Straits Settlements. ·· Otbuwise the expense of maintaining a staff of officers large enough to prevent illicit trade would be an intolerable burden when added to the growing shortage of revenue. Everything depends on Chian and It would be unwise to attempt anything berculosn fill the net result of her activily becomes knowa, In any case there are many districts, such av those occupied by soma of the Shans and the wild Was, where our authority is still no slender that it would be

even to suppress cultivation. Complete pro hibition, therefore, being out of the question, if the habit is recognised as utterly pernicious, the only alternativa method of stamping it out seems to be in an extension of the system of registra- tlon and a more careful checking of sales. It is not enough to say that no oplum shall be sold from licensed shops to unregistered Buimans if they can buy it at a slightly higher figate from pop-Bumans who are pot subjected to that.test.Universal:registration, of course; to be effective, would necessitate the creation of a much larger staff of officials for they would have to deal with the great host of Madratsl coolies and Chinese labourerS are sections of whom are cossamers to man. With a constant stream of immigrants the work would never be finished, and com-,...) plications, which would make evasion casy, would be almost certain to riset Accordingly it would appear that such a step would be bardly less impracticable than prohibition.
But there is
The first annual general meeting of share holders of the Ledbury Rubber Estates, Limit- ed; was bald in London, on May 30, Mr. An drew Mcllwraith presiding. In the course of his remarks as reported in ite Financier the the chairman said;-l«thlok we may con- gratulate ourselves on the very successful year's operations. The success is due to two Causes; firstly, the increased production over roof; and, secondly, the exceptional prices obtained. The amount of rubber marketed has. increased from 28,936 ibi, in 1905 to 65,181 lbs. for the year 1909 Prices for 1929 have baca very satisfactory averaging 74. 78. per ib. The price of fiae, hard Para on the day we *sold our first thipment was 5s 4fd. per lb., and on the day the last of the crop was realised Park was sold nt 11s. 6d. per ib. in looking back at the results of the working for the year 1908 of the many high-class plastation rubber companies, and noting the expressions of opinion by the highest authoritien in rubber,
Mr Barker said it was true that this year no one then could have foresego or anticipated the great increase le pijce That has takea rather more expenditure had been debited to reycuue. It was a good thing when they were piaca. I was particularly suack' at one meet- Jog, when listening to the remarks of one of getting the prices they were getting to do thi our greatest experts in the rabber, marker, Mr. as far as could be considered fair. It was their Devitt. He stated that he had orders of plantn- | policy while getting theka good prices to do all tion rubber for delivery or shipment up to the the work on the estates it was possible to do,en and of 19og at 53 74 per 1b. His views on the that when prices went dowd they" would have future were at that time looked uppa as some-
Fittie) to do (Hear, henr.) He could give no what optimistic, hat the resule bas far eclipsedidas est; what the expense would be this year, Even his anticipations.
They would have a larger crop to divide it into, and he thought the expenditure would be less Daxt year, and the year after it would be very considerably less, but we would not like to commit himself co what would actually happen Mr. Riog said that, with regard to the first goestion shat was asked about the calling up of inora capital, be as one of the original owners. when this was a private estate, and who had waited for years for a return on his capital, objected to any further call, unless the money was wasted, because it seemed to him that it would be a disadvantage, rather than an ad vantage, and instead of increasing the dividend it might reduce.
The chairman said the board would take the matter into consideration,
The resolution was carried unanimously, The chairman: moved: That a dividend paid on the called up capitatoa December of 171 per cent. less income tax, be 33, 1909; that the sum of £1,700 be transfer io restive account; that the sum of £1,000 be transferred to employees bonas fund, to be dealt with at the discretion of the directors and that a sum of £653 75. gd. ba canled forward.'
RUBBER PRICES
At the pressat time a shad is over the market. Whelter we have reached the top of the tree with regard to prices and are on. the downward.courte, he would be a wise man who could forecast. Rubber, like every other. article that enters largely into our manufactures, is amenable, to influences that operale when a price becomes abnormally high. These infiences will, sooner or later, turn the tide, and when that comes about we must be sathfied to see prices recede. The margin of profit on well-conducted plantations will still be quite sufficient to justify us in looking forward to satisfactory results. Your Mentors, think that there is no need to look for Roything
of a slump in prices, at any rate for some time to come they are of opinion that a lower level would be better for all concerned-manufacturers and growers alike --as tending to eliminate, or at least corail, the speculation which appears to have been sowen bat sampant of late. The profit and loss account shows a balance of £16,478 7, gd, and this, I think, is most satisfactory. Refer- ring shortly to the balance-sheet and profit and loss account for the your's operations: On the liability side" of the balance sheet the abare capital remains at £75.gno, the sundry creditors amount to Lobi 192, ad, and bills payable to £1,000. We have not thought it expedient during the first year to do mais than get the estates in good order by carefully weeding, the construction of denias and roads, inaugurating a practical system of dealing with "posts and diseases, and the erection of coolis
lincs, elc.
We have bad to contend in prac'ically til the estates with a semcity of coolies for some part of the year, but, as the organisation 'ex- tended, the labour difficulte his gradually lessened. As you will rea from the manager's reports, the combined ares under tapping to 1611 acres, which, as I have already stated, produced in 1958 8,956 lbs but under the impoved system of tapping and organisalon, we have increased the to 66,88 th, and the estimate aulpur for the current year is put down at 91,pro lbs Perhaps one of the most important events'abat
amonois
have taken place in this year's organisation is the arrangement made by. Mr. Barker for securing the services of Mr. Mitchell, the mycologist is Lunudiḥn Rübber Estates, and I am glad to say that Mr. Yitzbell has entered into this work with an enthusiasm which le vay gra dying indeed, · It is too:] early to speak of the results from the action wa have taken in this direction, but we anti cipate very beneficial results and improvement on the estates from the work undertaken at the fostigation and, under the superintendance of Mr. Mitchall, I beg to furmally movs the adoption of the report and acçoools.

ANOTHER ASPECT OF THE CASE. it has not yet been proved that it is desirable to suppress the trade altogether. Opium, like alcohol, when taken in moderation, does nobody any great harm. In some cases it is' argued, not to put it too strongly, that it does good. Certainly no evil efects are traceable to it among the Chinese Rangoon, Soldiers and coolier cften take it in small quantities as a matter of principle. The same may be aid of Shans who believe in its virluas as a before the Royal Commission Sir George Scott prophylactic agniust lever. In his evidence aid that he kuce of no evil effects due from it and that "to deprive the than and the hillman of opium would be to put him to death. To forbid him to grow the pippy would be to court defince and revolt, it would be con: trary to all the
