Although the net profits of Harrods, Limited, for the past year amounted to £838,649, against 1697,069 for the previous year, the falling off is no more than might have been expected if we consider the general conditions prevailing during the past year. A final dividend is to be recommended of 10 per cent, on the Ordinary, making 15 per cent, for the year against 171 per cent. The sum of £10,000 is placed to a Special Reserve, while £97,000 is carried forward. The company's General Reserve remains untouched at 11,000,000.
