A 70 PER CENT. DIVIDEND. Although the profits of the

Zinc Corporation for last year ell below the record figures for 1925, the result was neverthe- ess a thoroughly satisfactory one, the amount of the profit lag 1424,048. Dividends are once again on the superlative le, 55 per cent, being paid on the Preference and 70 per cent. the Ordinary. A slightly lower level of metal prices was sponsible for the moderate reduction in profits, while a 11°Itage of water was an adverse factor. Development work .uring the year, however, is stated to haVe been of a horoughly satisfactory character.
