to show that it would be advantageous ; and that
the £5O preferred shares would be worth £56, and
the like deferred shares making £BB 10s,
whereas the present price of the ordinary stock
is only £77. The circular concludes :—" These
calculations will probably convince most of our
!shareholders that a real advantage can be obtained
lc market value by the proposed division. Of course
We cannot pretend that to the shareholder who thinks
only of retaining permanently his investment in the
concern the process of division will give any ad-
:iantage whatever ; but even to him it will doubt-
less be a gratification to see an improved market
value for his stock." The circular is signed, " Several
Shareholders."
