The market has been fairly consist

the furry mentioned, Pioneer rose to

Oahu returned to it's former figure.

Mr.. Asano replied that the company
was well aware of all these facts, but
the credit of the company at present
was not as favorable as in the past.
For this reason they had been obliged
to contract loans at the high rates men

GENERAL SUGAR MARKET.

London mail advices to September "a
report that the strongest selling pres.
sure of sugars came from Austria, due
to larger sugar beet crop. An increase
in the beet crop of 100000 to 100000
tons had been expected, with the pos
sibility, if the weather should prove
very propitious, of the total reaching
7 100000 tons, or $4,000 tons more
than last year, when the yield was bad.
When, therefore, the commercial cir
cles estimate of 7,125 900 to 100000
tons was telegraphed, the market was
quite nonplused and those who had
been buying in the slump were too sick
to stand in the breach to any further

FINANCIAL STATUS OF T. Z. K.


general meeting Of the shareholders Of
the Togo Kisen Kaisha was held on the
twenty-eighth in the Nihonbnshi Club,
Toxic, to receive the accounts for the
first half of this year. s. Asano, presi-
dent Of the company, presided.
After the business report and ac-
counts for the term had been read. one
of the shareholders raised a question.
He said that the surplus for the period
under review amounted to Y.256,000.
Deducting this sum from Y1.065 900,
the loss brought over from the pre-
vious term, there remains a net loss of
Y.S00,000. He wanted to be informed
in what way the company intended to
make good that sum.
In. reply Mr.. Asano stated that the
fact that the surplus for the term was
only Y.256,000 was entirely attributable
to the loss of 100000 the company
has suffered in connection with the
hiring of the steamer Pima; otherwise
the company would have been able to
realize a much greater surplus. Mr..
Asano was confident that the profit for
the second half of this year will amount
to something like Y.450,000, provided
that the company's business is as favor
able as in the first half. During the
term the number of passengers on the
San Francisco and South American serv.
ices increased considerably over the pre-.
viOus period, but there was a great
diminution in the shipments of cargo
from the Pacific Coast, due to decline
in cotton and flour.
