ST. CROIX STATION.
London,
Aug. 25th.—A
careful
survey
of
the
Trads
situat.on
does
not confirm
the
view
prevalent
that
the
trend
of
events
is all in favour of the export
trade
of
the Unit=d
States,
according
to
the
writer
of
a special
articie,
to which the
Daily Mail vives
muech
prominence
this
worning
and concerning
which
it
says
editorially thet the
greats
rush
of imports
into
Great
Brirzin
seems
to
be ceasing
and
that
exportation
on
a
considerable
scale
is ahcut
to begin.
{The
writer of
the special article
says
the British Govt.
chose Septe
nber Ist. for the
wiithdrawal
of the import restricticns
to
accord
with
the arrival in this country of an unprece-
dented
stream
of shipping.,
which
has
been loading
foodstuffs
in
Australia for
Great Britain.
Many vessels
have already
arrived
and
the ocean
route
is thronged
with
others,
so
that
henceforth
Great
Britain will not
be
devendent
on trans-
at antic sources
f@® foo® while the gather-
iny of the home harvest,
he ad<s,
aids the
siination.
As
regards
British
export
prospects,
the writer
asserts
it is well
krown in commercial
cireles that
consid-
erible
s-ocks
of
textiles,
cutlery
and
otier goods
are
available
for export.
‘“‘imerica has been pouring
goods into
Europe’’
says
the
writer,
* but the rate
of exchange
is now against
American
ex-
porters
who,
with
heavy
ccmmitments,
ar: not
pleased
at the
outlook for their
trade and
are
not overjoyed
by
the
re-
moval- of
British
restrictions.
Many
alert
business
men
have
advised
the
Araerican
manufacturers
to cease
flood-
ing the British Market’’.
