Generally speaking, too, the increase of profit bad not been at all commensurate with the increased value of trade done. In numerous branches of industry complaints were heard that it was impossible to obtain for the manufactured articlo a sufficiently enhanced price to compensate for the general advance in the cost of raw materials. Then again, competition-hoth home and foreign-was ever becoming keaner and keener, reuniting in a steady decline of profit; while trade had been penalised by the exceptionally bigh Bank Rates surrent throughout the year.
