JAPANESE SUGAR COMPANY 



All preparations to establish the new 

 Southern Pacific Sugar Manufacturing Co., 

 promoted by Mr. Senkichiro Hayakawa and 

 more than 100 leading business men in Tokyo, 

 are now completed, says the Japan Advertiser. 

 At a recent meeting it was decided to fix the 

 capital of the new concern at 6,000,000 yen 

 ($2,988,000), divided into 120,000 shares, 

 100,000 of which will be taken up by the pro- 

 moters, while 20,000 will be offered for public 

 subscription. 



The publication says that the principal ob- 

 ject of the new company is to purchase several 

 sugar plantations that have hitherto been 

 operated by Dutch capitalists in Java, and that 

 the new concern works in concert with the 

 Dutch colonial government in Java, which 

 will render aid to Japanese enterprises. — 

 Consul General George Scidmore, Yokohama, 

 Japan.
