No interim dividend is declared on the Four per: Cent Preference stock (1923) OF the Ordinary stock On the other- hand, the decision of the board of "Shanghai the Southern Railway once again to pay no intérim dividend on the Preferred Ordinary stock came as a disappointment to the market.. and a sharp fall took place in the stock.

In the matter of the ratio of expenses to receipts the Southern compares favourably with the other, lines,
