SMALLER SALES.

TOBACCO COMPANY'S REDUCED PROFITS..

The past financial year has toon a lean one for the Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company, whose head-office recently de- clared a dividend of four. peri cent. Wo aro to day informed that a number of important factors have accounted for this considerable shrinkage in the: Company's earnings, the chief of which is the recent strike of the company's factory employees at Shanghai, which caused cessation, of factory operations in that city for over a month, and the general political situation of the country.

One detail in the company's) annual report is not without its humorous side. It was related that the company had to, beari with a number of impositions from the Canton Kuomintang Govera-} ment, and recently the company received another damand for a sum of $100,000. As "loans' Of this kind bad in the past been contributed by the company to the extent of threo lakhs already, the firm's officials said they were unable to accomodate the Canton Government on this occasion, pointing out that the past year had not been an altogether pro-! sperous one. for them. By way of retaliation, the Kuomintang oRoials seized a large consign- meat of cigarettes sent by the company to Canton. The value of those goods was $90,000, but it was learned later that, they had teen disposed of by the Govern- ment for a consideratly smaller amount.

It is a cause for satisfaction that, so far as the Hongkong factories are concerned, thero have boon no untoward events to disorganize the output or business of the Nanyang Tobacco Com- pany hore. For purposes of comparison of the company's position, within recent years, it may be added that the dividends for the provious three years had not been less than 10 per cent. The profits for 1923 amounted to near four million dollars. Last year's dividend of four per cent. was distributed from a profit of only $400,000, approximately. It will be realised from these figures: how the sales have fallen off. The year 1924 has been writton off as the leanest year in the experience of the leading native! fi'm of cigarette manufacturers,
