The Mappin & Webb catalogue, recently issued, is an unusually fine piece of work, a tribute alike to the arts of the jeweler and of the printer. Over a hundred pages of illustrations depict choice samples of the magnificent stock, and the whole is contained in a cover of rich brown, gold, and black, with a medallion in three additional colors. The effect of the whole is striking and forms a valuable argument for gifts that last, though that slogan is not mentioned in its pages. An exceptionally interesting plate is the frontispiece, which shows illustrations of ten of the famous Mappin & Webb stores; those in London (two), Paris, Rome, Biarritz, Monte Carlo, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Johannesburg and Montreal.

Mappin & Webb, the silversmiths and jewelers, report improved trading conditions for the past year, although there still is no dividend forthcoming, either on preference or ordinary shares. For the past year there is a net profit of some $160,000, which compares very favorably with the net loss of around $195,000 in 1923. There still are heavy liabilities, and although there is a sum of about $190,000 to carry forward, the directors do not think it advisable to weaken this by the payment of a dividend. When the amount owing creditors has been further reduced, it is planned to deal with the arrears of preference share dividends and rearrange the share capital. Including loans, there was owing to creditors some $1,800,000 at the end of 1923. This has now been reduced to around $970,000; so substantial headway is being made. There are about 20 per cent. of preference dividends now in arrears, the last having been paid-in mid Summer, 1922. The preference dividend is eight per cent.
