IMPENDING CELANESE MEETING,.
If only by reason of the fact that the annual meeting of the British Celanese Company was held over until next Wed• nesday, the 18th, so that the chairman should be in a position to give the latest information to shareholders, the gathering is awaited with unusual interest. It may- be recalled that the Report, which was published as far back as July 25th, showed that the trading profit for the period under review was, £1,239.000, and the directors emphasized the point that in considering the year's results it had to be borne in mind that during the year the company, derived practically no benefit from the large additional expenditure on buildings, plant, &c., while the results for the year were also adversely affected by unfavourable trade conditions and price reductions. The directors stated, however, that from March 1st of the current year there was a substantial increase in sales and nomthly profits were steadily increasing.
