A GOVERNMENT WINDFALL.
Rugby, Oct. 15.
The British Government have received a windfall of some seven- and a half million sterling in cot, sequence of the Anglo-Persian Company decision to capitalise 24,475,000 out of £5,163,128 to general reserve.
This decision means the distribu- tion of a bonus of one new share for every ordinary one pound share held." The British Government holds five million ordinary shares. When the news of this share bonus was received yesterday, the stares rose from £4 27/32 to £5 9/16:
At this figure, the Govern ment's holding is worth £41,000,000. Allowing, however, for a fall after the bonus has been declared, it is probable that the Government's net gain will be about £7,700,000.
