I -——— I Increased Plant for Clydach. Tue twelfth ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Mond Nickel Com- pany, Limited, was held yesterday at the tlotol Windsor, Victoria-street, London, the Right Hon. Sir Alfred Mond, M.P., chair- man of the directors, presiding. The report, (which has already appeared in these columns) stated that the accounts showed a balance to the credit of profit and loss account of £ 232,429. The directors proposed to deal with the balance as follows:—In- terim ikalf-yearly dividend on the issued preference capital at 7 per cent. per annum. pa.i 1 on the 4th February, 1913, £ 13.183 6s. 8d.; dividend now to be paid on the pre- ference capital at 7 per cent, per annum (less income tax), £13,183 6s. 8d.; dividend on tne ordinary capital at the rate of 211 ver cent. per annum. £ 60,031 5s.; dividend on the deferred capital. £ 40^56 5s.: amount to be placed to reserve. £ 16,250; amount to be placed to-reserve 6USlX )TIse, £40.000; balance to be carried forward. E49,525 2s. Sir Alfred Mond, in moving the adoption of tho report and balance-sheet, said they woult observe in the balance-sheet a sum of £8,938 for additions, this being for the development of the mines in Canada. They were also increasing the plant at Clydach in South Wales. and had written off £ 35,<f)0 on the suspense reserve account, which wa.s partly writing off the balance of the old smelting plant which they had abandoned when they started the new smelting plant at tll commencement of the new financial year. In order to deal with the housing difficulty in South Wales, Sir Alfred said they bad to extend the cottage accommo- dation for their workmen, and in order to facilitate operations the directors had de- cided to form a small internal company fo:" the purchase of land and erecting those cottages. Sir Alfred said the business was growing, and they felt they might look I forward to a still larger increase in future years than in the past. He and his fellow director's whilst not in favour of the policy of paying out the profits up to the hilt, on the other hand felt that the shareholders tn aL industrial business were entitled to something at the end of the year, and they bad decided to increase the dividend to ZLI per cent., this being an increase of 5 poer cent. Proceeding, Sir Alfred said the work in South Wales to which he referred la3t year was proceeding satisfactorily, and ne hoped that this year the new plant woull be completed. They had taken op tions in other valuable properties which they were now examining, but it was too soon to express an opinion, but before the enl of the present financial year they mig-It have aequired mining properties in Canada. Mr. Robert Mond seconded, and the re- port and balance-sheet, were unanimously adopted. Sir Alfred Mond and the other retiring directors were re-elected. BR1TONFERRY CHEMICAL AND MANURE CO.. LTD. At a meeting of the directors of this company, held on Wednesday, an interim dividend of Is. 6d. per share, free of in- come tax, was declared, payable on the 17th instant, to the shareholders on the books of the company õil the 5th day of July, 1913. The transfer books will be closed on the 5th July. TO-DAY'S MARKETS. I OORK BUTTER MARKET. I Supply, average; demand. good; weather, frM. Firsts, 94; e??nds. 92; thirds, 89?

MORALITY PLAYS. 1
MORALITY PLAYS. 1 A KEEN CRITICISM. I The Morality Play Society has been organised "to produce plays which find their inspiration 111 an ideal motive," and yesterday afternoon at the Little Theatre we had three such plays. The lpertorraanc-e lasted for more than three hours, but not half the time was re- quired for the "message" the authors had to give us. I doubt (.writes "E. A. B. in the "Daily News and Leader") if the Morality Play Society will do much good if it continues to produce plays Which are little more than tracts in action. Mr. Clifford Bax's "The Marriage of the Soul" is a pretentious, theosophic tract, in which a young Egyptian priest and priestess fall in love. The priestess dies and has to appear before the gods in the Hall of the Double Judgment (a kind of Appeal Court, 1 imagine). She I is allowed the choice of going back to earth to the man she loves or of joining her soul to Osiris. She chooses the better way, and, indeed, there was no choice, for the man she loves is Osiris, and Osiris is Love. Mrs. Percy Dearmer's "The Play- mate is a naive ti-act. A little cripple is visited after hours of suffering by a child Christ. The mother is outside the pale because she keeps her son and herself by remaking furs for a re- ceiver of stolen gcKXls, and the Play- mate is quite priggish about his in- ability to take her to Paradise. Finally she gives up her work, and is quite happy. The Hon. Mis. Alfred Lyttelton's Dame Julian's Window is a pic- turesque tract. Dame Julian was "the famous anchoress at Norwich" in the fourteenth century. She lived in a little cell Against the church wall with its window opening to the out- side. From this window the recluse gave advice to all and sundry. Mrs. Lyttelton brings all kinds of types of I passions and sorrows and virtues be- fore the window, and she has done this with considerable ingenuity and skill, and even with a touch of drama. It was by far the best of the three moraJi- ties.

A REMARKABLE RECORD.I
A REMARKABLE RECORD. I A remarkable record has just been made at their Orchard Factory by Messrs. Chivers and Sons, Limited, the well-known jam manufacturers. Straw- berries adjoining the factory have been picked, carried to the boiling rooms, made into jam and filled into the jars within an hour of the time they were growing in the orchard. The deteriora- tion which fruit suffers in a long journey to a town manufactory is so unavoid- able that the hygienic advantages of thus making the jam actually in the I midst of the plantations need no em- phasis.

I COLLIDED WITH LOCK GATES
I COLLIDED WITH LOCK GATES A500 DAMAGE DONE AT PRINCE OF WF,LES DOCK. Yesterday the steamer Tees wood cot- I lided with the inner lock-gates ol the Prince of Wales Dock, doing damage to the estimated extent of £ q00. The vessel was approaching the lock to proceed to sea, when untonunately the chain of the telegraph to the en- gme room broke, and the gates were • struck before the ship could be brought up. Fortunately the Teeswood was a "Hartlepool" or hooked bow, or the damage would have been much' greater. As it is, in addition to the damage to the platform, three or four of the metal plates of the were smashed, and will have to be replaced.

HOUSE OWNER RELIEVED. I I LLANELLY GUARDIANS MAKES A I GRANT TO WiDUW. r Relieving Officer Longhurst, at the meet- ing of the Llanelly Board of Guardians on Thursday, reported further upon the appli- cation of a widow residing at Llwynhendy for out-door relief. The Clerk (Mr D. C. Edwards) explained that he had received a copy of the will re- lating to the property. Mr. W. B. Jones, who explained that he knew the case very well, said that the will allocated the property among the children, who were nine in number, and really speak- ing the property was not worth much. The widow was in dire circumstances, and the Board should grant relief at' once rather than allow her to suffer in her present con- dition. They should not beat about the bush. and he proposed seeing that there were five children dependent, that 15s. per week be granted in relief. Rev. David Davies seconded the motion. Relieving Officer Longhurst reported that the woman's husband died on June 23rd, and she received L22 from the club. The Clerk: She has a house, hasn't she? Mr. W. B. Jones: There is a mortgage of £ 80 on the house. Rev. W. Trevor Jones said that having regard to the state of the woman's health, he thought the Board should grant 18s. per week until she recovered, and moved an amendment accordingly. Mr. WID. Pugh seconded the amendment, but stated that the Board hatt to be very careful, otherwise they would be told they were relieving persons who owned property. Mr. W. B. Jones stated that he had taken all the circumstances into account, and that was why he thought the Board should not grant more than 15s. The Board were aware that there was a hpuse that cost 1250 o n which there was a mortgage of "D. He was not going to oppose the granting of 18s., but if fairness and justice were to be done all round the Board would not allow more than 15s. I Eventually the Board, by a majority, de- cided to allow 18s. per week until the woman's health had recovered.

NASTY BLACK LOOKS. -■ -
NASTY BLACK LOOKS. ■ YOUNG NEATH C.UPLE EXPERIENCE MATKiMuNIAL TROUBLES. A sad story of a brief matrimonial career was told to the Neath magis- trates on Friday, when Nellie James sought an order of separation against her husband, Thomas Johu James, tin- worker, Britonferry, on the grounds of desertion. Mv. James Revell, for applicant, said the case was an extremely sad one, in- asmuch as the parties were married as recently as November 30 last year. They first resided in furnished apart- ments with applicant's parents, but de- fendant soon showed that he was tired of his wife, quarrels were frequent, and he abused her. Five weeks later de- fendant left her, and lived with his parents. As a result of a solicitor's letter they went to live with each other again in rooms at Regent-street. On the night of the 22nd April there was another quarrel, and defendant told her he had enough of her, and at his invitation she went home to her parents. Defendant took away most of the wedding presents given them, and clothing, arid after receiving the maternity benefit, he paid the nurse 10s., and sent applicant 19s. 6d. Dur- ing the separation applicant had not received a penny from him. It was apparent that defendant was tired of his wife, and he asked the Bench to make a substantial order. Applicant gave evidence in support, and cross-examined by Mr. D. M. Thomas she said they did nothing but quarrel all the time they lived together. Mr. Thomas: When you went to church on November 30 I suppose you promised to love him? Applicant; Yes, 1 suppose. (Laugh- ter.) Mr. Thomas: Do you love him now? Applicant (emphatically): I don't. (More laughter.) Ellen John, applicant's mother, said the parties did not live happy, but she never interfered. Mr. Thomas: He was never abusive, I suppose? Witness: Only with his tongue, and his nasty biack looks. Mr. Thomas: What in the world is a black look? (Laughter.) Further examined witness denied that she slammed the door, in her son- in-law's face, and said she politely told him to go away. Mr. Thomas submitted that there was no case to answer. She married de- fendant for better or for worse, and if nasty black looks and silence were the worse, then his conduct was not bad. The Magistrates' Clerk said the Bench held that the wife was driven out cf the house by defendant's conduct. Adopting Mr. Thomas's suggestion. the Bench decided to ^d joijr-a the vcase for a month, defendant to pay 15s. a week maintenance.
