ATTEMPT TO GET THE BANK CHARGES REDUCED.

Not long ago, letters were sent from the associated banks inform ing the Chinese sugar dealers in Hongkong that in future a minimum commission of 4% on all letters of credit (without recourse) will have to be charged. In this con- nexion there was a meeting last. night at the Chinese Sugar Mer chants Association, Des Voeux Road Central, to consider the pro- blem of the additional bank interest which is now being charged on Irrevocable letters of credit (with out recouree).

The dificulty of this system was explained by Mr. Ho lu, who pre- sided at the meeting. The gather ing, decided to write to the associat ed banks once again to ace if they could not see their way to charge a minimum commission of % per cent instead of 4 per cent, and that further, for bills of more than 60 days usance, a further per cent be charged for every 30 days. If, however, a bill is retired long before. It becomes due, no commis sion be chargeable for the expired period, provided of course that the unexpired period is " a month or more.

The "Bears" Band were In the splendid form, excelling in slow steps of the waltz and the slow fox-trot. The numbers pre- sent were sufficient testimony to the fame of the orchestra. It la understood that similar successes have attended the band in Shang- hal, their time and rhythm being 60 goed as to call forth plaudita even from the non-dancers.,

A great number of ordinary walk-dances were the prelude to the spot-waltz competition, which was won by Miss Crossan and Corp. Grundy, R.M. This was the most popular dance of the evening even the "old sweats" turning out for the event.
