that the United Kingdom Company went on for
four years without paying 1 .?. dividend? — /

I do not knov-.
1689. How do you account for there håv
ing been no dividend, if all the world was to
use it at 1 .5.? — A varieiy of reasons. They

Jnstrumenier. der vilde have medført en Bespa
relse. Dette er ikke bleven optaget.
