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’’. Paris, Aug. 24th.—Georges Gaston No. 202
