Addressing the deferred half-yearly meeting of tho Colonial Sugar Refining Company, tho chairman (Mr E. R. Knox) said Australia’s export quota of 400,000 tons, fixed by the recent international agreement, could be regarded as satisfactory. It was also very gratifying that tho British Government would maintain the existing preference on Empire sugar for the period of the agreement, namely, five years. Mr Knox added that the total output of raw sugar from all Australiau mills was 756,000 tons, and from the company’s seven mills the yield was 67,900 tons—a record in each case. The Fiji output was also a record of 149,300 tons. The report and balance-sheet were adopted.
