tge reviewing the dyestuffs industry C. E. WARREN CO., LTD.
"It is pleasing.” he says, to be able to chronicle during the year an increase in the exports. The official figures, issued by the Board of Trade show that there has been a steady monthly improvement in the export figures for dyestuffs, and that the total for the ten months to October is practically double the chere. sponding figures for last year.
As yet, however, we cadhot regard these exports as a normal condition for this country, since the reason for their being so much greater than in 1022 is due to the political situation in Germany, which interfered with the steady flow of dyestuffs from that country, and to the deficit being made good from British sources of supply. It may be taken, however, as satisfactory evidence that the uniformly high quality of British dye- stuffs is becoming increasingly well known in foreign markets, nad as a good reputa- tion is an early preliminary for the establishment of a permanent export trade, it is a step in the right direction. In this connection it is, perhaps, worth mentioning that the greatest asset the German manufacturers have to-day is not so much the quality of their products as their ability, due to the chaotic state of the mark, to quote low prices.
The placing on the market during a year of about a score of dyestuffs not hitherto made in this country, is at the least a great piece of organisation. Of cecessity in the past years effort has

makers towards this object, and it is highly satisfactory to observe in the year. under review the appearance of brand new British colours, viz., the Caledon jade-green colours of the Scottish Dycs, Limited, a series of Vat dyestuffs and the Cellutyl series of the British Dye- stuffs Corporation, Limited, a group of dyestuffs having the special property of dyeing Celanese silk. The discovery and development of new dyestuffs must take place if the British industry is ultimately to take rank amongst the great drostaffs manufacturers, and I feel confident that the future will see further important British discoveries."
