NELSON BROTHERS, LIMITED have posted warrants for an interim dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for the six months ending 31st Dec. last. The company intend to raise the capital to £500,000 by the issue of 20,000 shares of £10 each distributed amongst the present shareholders, to provide for new refrigerating works in New Zealand, and increased storeage [storgae] accommoderation [accommodation], which is urgently needed in London.
