SCOTTISH POWER RESULTS.

Trading profits of the undertakings owned and operated by the Scottish Power Company for 1934 were excellent ; the figure of 1498,932 compared with £444,305 for 1933. This increase was achieved in spite of the fact that during the past year the amount included for interest during con- struction, of the Grampian Hydro-Electric Works was only 110,075 against 230,024 in 1933. The directors were able to repeat the Ordinary dividend of 8 per cent. On the basis of the present price of the company's shares, the dividend yield is about 4 per cent.
