London, Feb, 20.
An indication of the remarkable revival in the British rayon trade was provided yesterday, by the pro- It statement of Courtaulds, the £32,000,000 combine.
Net profits for the year show an increase of £1,100,000, or about 73 The total of £2,552,050 per cent. for 1933 compares with £1,452,000 for 1933, and is the highest since
1929."
The dividend for the year is raised from 4 to 8 per cent., and £700,000
is placed to reserve, which received nothing a year ago.
Following the announcemeat, there
were lively dealings in the abares in the "Street" market and the price rose from 43% 10fd, to 178 3d.
