VIROL.
That there are many industries, too, exempt so far from the economic effects of the coal stoppage is apparent from the great number of satisfactory reports which arc being issued and also from the activity and strength of some of the industrial shares. In the annual report of Virol, Limited, an increase is shown in net profits from £105,000 to 1116,000, and, after again paying a dividend of 224 per cent. on the Ordinary Shares and allocating 115,000 to the Reserve, raising it to 1145,000, the sum of £69,000 is carried forward as against £68,000 a year ago. A good feature in the Report is the statement that although £100,000 was recently pro- vided by an issue of 6 per cent. Notes for the development of the business, the directors are charging against current. revenue two-thirds of the year's expenditure. _
