" HannEN's."

Allowing for the fact that the stage of-commercial production was only reached about the end of last year, and that the accounts covered a year up to April last, therefore-only including,about four months of normal working, the Report recently issued of Harben'i Liinited, the viscose silk manu-' facturing company, must be regarded as a satisfactory one. A profit was realized for that short period of just under £10,000, while the Report states that the company's output is now more than nine tons each week, which is expected to increase shortly to about eighteen tons. Although no divi- dends have yet been paid, either 'on -the preference or the ordinary shares, both stand in the market at a considerable

premium—on anticipations. •
