SUEZ CANAL CO.
THE SEVENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING.
UNPRECEDENTED ACTIVITY,
At the 74th annual meeting of the Suez Canal Co., which was held in Parla on June 7 Inst, the Chair- ninn, the Marquis de Vogue, in submitting the directors' report, said that the traffic of the Suez Canal had experienced unprecedent- ed activity during 1927. The re- ceipts, amounting to 208,000,000 gold francs, were greater by 11 per cent. than those of 1925, which were the previous highest. The conver- sion into French franes of the sums thus collected had been made on the basis of the rate of exchange of 124f., ut which the pound sterling had remained since the beginning of 1927. It was proposed to fix the gross dividend per capital' share at 677.62f., an increase of 33.50f. as compared with 1926. The growth in the traffe which permitted this increase in dividend was evidence that after the confusion brought about by the war the economie development of the world was con- tinuing.
In view of auch brilliant resulte plans they had considered it to be their erea duty to continue the traditional
