The Lancashire cotton industry has again had a better year and the financial results of the cotton mittis show a still further improvement if 2 comparison is made with three years ago. Average mill dividends, states a Manchester correspondent, "have increased slightly, but what is more important larger. num- ber of arms have declared profits and there has been a considerable decrease in the number now work- ing at a loss.
"The average dividend for 158 spinning and manufacturing con- cerns in 1938 was 1,80 per cent, as compared with 1.72 per cent, in 1935. The total paid-up'share ca- pital of these companies is £25,- 025,599, and they distributed £359,- 465, equal to 1.04 per cent, on the paid-up capital. Last year the distribution

per cent. These firms control 17,031,- 638 spindles and 37,500 looms. In the previous year 125 companies paid no dividend, but this year the total has been reduced to 119. With regard to profits and losses, 60 milis announced profits amount- lag to £566,139 as against only 50 companies in the previous year. Mill losses showed a big decrease, In 1935 a total of 85 companies made an average loss of £5,604, but in the year just ending the number was reduced to 39 compan- les with an average of £3,800.
"During the year twenty firms reduced" their
capital from £15,881,973 to £6 529,779, The chief feature
was the construction scheme of the Lancashire Cotton Corporation, under which the share capital and debenture stock was reduced from £12.329.115 to £4,543,894.. There EXTRA MANILA were fewer
