SHANGHAI STOCK EXCHANGE.
An informal meeting of the members of the Shanghai Sharebrokers' Association was held in the Stock Exchange on April 11th when Mr. CW. Ure, the retinog Übairman, was pr«- seated with a silver cigar-bor.
The Chairman, Mr. Arthur L. Anderson, ia making the presentation, pointed out that during the past three years the Association had pased out of a state of obsos, and was now a properly incorporated body with a legal status and adequate rules, and that this satisfactory 'change was largely due to Mr. Cro's efforts. In conclusion Mr. Anderson proposed the health of the retiring Chairman, which was drunk with three cheers,
The cigar-box is of Japanesa silvar, with iein pattern design, and is inscribed Presented to Mr. C. W. Ure by the members of the Shanghai Stock Exchange in recognition of services rendered as Chairman, 1905 to 1907."
