• GOLDFIELDS RESULTS.

The recent announcement that the Consolidated Goldfields Company had been able to raise its dividend from 12f to 15 per cent. had prepared the market for the satisfactory report which has been issued during the past week. Practically the whole of the revenue of the company now comes from its holding in the New Consolidated Goldfields, Ltd., and the report of that company showed realized profits for the past year of £512,000 against £439,000.
