* * * * TAYLOR WALKER.

The brewery industry is doing well as a whole just now, and fresh evidence of the fact was afforded recently in the announcement of an increase in the interim dividend of Taylor, Walker and Co. The distribution is to be at the rate of 31 per cent. as compared with 3 per cent. a year ago. The company is apparently doing well, while during the current year the accounts should be favourably affected by the fact that the Debenture charges will be lower by reason of the successful conversion operation carried through last January.
