In July this year, our Foreign: Exâ€" change Control Board fixed the official rate of exchange Hetween the Canaâ€" dian and United iStates dollar at "par".

MDividends during that tims, which orâ€" dinarily would have amounted to $3.00 per annum, were increased to $3.33, an amount which when reduced to par in terms of United States funds enabled the nonâ€"resident shareholders to r2â€" ceive dividends at par, i.e. $3.00 a share while at the same time Canadian shareholders received $3.33 a share in terms of, Canadian: funds. In other words dividends were paid on a gold parity basis. ° PDated at Toronto, October 11th, 1946. Mcm" ‘RE PORCUPINE MINES LIMITED Dividends Nos, 119 and 120 .
