DUNLOP-PERDRIAU RUBBER After passing a dividend on ordinary share capital last year, the Dunlop Perdriau Rubber Company returns to the list by recommending payment cf 5 per cent for the 12 months endzsd June 30, 1936. A final of 5 per cent, nicking 10 per cent for the year, is being paid on preference capital. This will be welcome news for shareholders, for since internal rorganisation of the company was made last year, the ordinary shares have followed an erratic course on the Stock Exchange, and only recently have reached more than 18 - for the £1 scrip.
