The deal, carried through on this side by Mr. Philip Hill, re- presenting Hambros Bank Erlan- gers and Philip Hill and Partners Ltd., concerned 1,123,000 shares at price of about £7 per share. It was proposed that the bulk of these shares should be offered to investing public. While the company is essentially British in management and sub- stance the money thus subscribed would have had to be transferred to the United States, involving something over 23,000,000, dollars, in payment for the shares. The transaction, therefore, was the equivalent of a foreign issue.
