Until, how- ever, the complete scheme of Govern- i ment control during the war has been re- vealed, markets are likely to eontinuf more or less hesitant. The intrinsic position, however, is such, that when the relations of the Government to the com- panies have been defined, it is probable that the attractions of South Wales col- hery shares will create a revival ()f activity. Meanwhile, it is reasonable to conclude from the dividend distributions now being sanctioned, that the Govern- ment has no intention of acting other- j wise than with complete fairness to the companies. Coal and Iron.-AII)ions: This company, for the nisfc time in eight yrars, has re- sumcd dividends on its ordinary shares. Last year the arrears of preference divi- dends began to be paid off. and now the directors announce that the balance of these arrears has been paid, and they are in a position to distribute a dividend of 5 per cent. on the ordinary shares, after putting a fairly substantial suui to re- serve. It is evident the fortunes of thi$ company have changed materially for the better, and the price has improved to 9-9!. Blaenavons have been enquired i for and changed hands several times j 1 around I i-s. Cd. Consolidated Cambrians are easier at 29s. This company has de- I dared the same dividend as for the previous year, viz 15 per cent. Being a 1 holding company it is impossible to learn < the true position, as the constituent cotn- )anies, whosQ s hare capital is held by 1 the Consolidated Company, do not pub- ( lish any accounts, but thprp {'fin -f loubt that the combined, profit for the. s ear_ just ended exceeded that for the t ?rev)cus year, and the holding company j ould very well have increased its divi- 1 lend. Hie profits eho?]t. however, is i omc ?M.OOO odd lower than that for the r irevious year. which simply means that nly this amount has lieen drawn from he profits of the constituent companiès, 1 order to pay the dividend of 15 per [ ent. decided upon. No doubt the re- erves of the constituent companies lia%7t- 'œn further increased, and shareholders tl the holding company should reap the 2nefit of this in due course. Cynoris how no cliaiili,, pt 29s. to 31s. ardiff CoW0-ries: So far the Ordinary lares of thi? company have bn un- n, Tected by the increase in the dividend, w per cent. being declared, as against 15 1 ?r cent, for the previous year; this J mipany I8! doubtless, is a very satisfac- ry portion, Celtics (10s. Ordinary i tares) have changed hands at from 10s. 1. to lis., and look a good purchase at 1 V; ie price. The dividend for 1915 was 10 :r ccnt., and it would not he surprising this were increased for 1916; the an- mncemeut will be due shortly. D. Davis e.
