THE LEIPZIG SPRING FAIR.
BAROMETER OF. THE WORLD'S TRÅDE.
The Spring Fair at Leipzig, which opened on March 8, 1929, presents some novel and startling features even to those experts who regularly visit the Leipzig Fair, The great problem which has oc- cupied
the attention of tho management for years Is the adaptation of the Fair modation to the increasing do mand and to the technical require ments of the time.

For this purpose à division was made some years ago be tween articles of use and luxury on the one hand and the means of production on the other. The former group is exhibited at the Samples Fair in the heart of the city, the latter at the Techno- logical and Building Trades. Fair in the enormous exhibition grounds. In both cases develop- ment proceeds uninterruptedly. In connexion with the Samples Fair, a large new Fair Palace called "Potorshof" has been open- ed. Adjoined to Poternstrasse— which has always been the focus of the Leipzig Fair, traffic- "Petersbor" aerves to concentrate a goodly portion of the exhibits of toya, musical instruments and industrial art producla.

New Hall,
On the site of the Technological and Building Trades Fair, the new and gigantic Exhibition Hall of the Building Trades Fair is attracting visitora.
It has become a common inter- national habit to regard Leipzig:
not Fair as a trade barometer, merely for Germany, but for the world at large. The measures just referred to in connexion with the development of Leipzig Fair| may indisputably be considered a favourable omen as regards inter- national trade.
Just as the Leipzig Fair ex- tends its area, so too docs it in- crease the acopa of its exhibits. Consequently, some particulars as to new or augmented groups at the Fair will doubtless be of gen- eral interest. For example the electricity branch is exhibiting' on a much bigger scale. It has there- före taken, not only the "Haus der Elektrotechnik," but also two other large halls, one of which is devoted to the enormously enlarg- ed sample exhibits of tho-broad- casting Industry. Machine-build- ing also participates in essentially augmented proportions. The "Verein Deutscher Naschinbau- Anstalten," for instance, is in three large hallo; in addition, there is, in its own hall, the com prehensive sample exhibit of the machine-tool industry. Here, be sides the machine tools proper, are such important groups as: textile machinery, wood-working machinery and the comprehensive exhibits of electrical apparatus,
Foreign Technology,
Foreign technology in admitted to the Leipzig Technological Fair on an equal footing with its Ger- man sister. In point of fact, for eign countries are participating this time in considerably greater measure than over before. Thus, there is a sample show of Dutch electro-technics, an exhibit of machine-tools from America and other countries, exhibits of textile) machinery from France, Great Britain, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland, as well as a display re presenting the Anglo-Dutch caut choue and rubber Industry, together with the exhibit of Rus- slan raw materials which has be come a standing feature of the Technological Fair. The Build- ing Trades Fair can also boast a notable foreign participation.
Textiles,
t
'A considerable increase of for- eign participation is also seen in the Textile Section. France has Bent extensive exhibits of Lyons Bilk and of Alsatian cotton. From Austria there are stands
repre- sentative of the Viennese hosiery and
stockinetto manufacture. Numerous textile exhibits are also included from Great Britain, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, Japan and Turkey. Besides these sec- tlons grouped individually accord- ing to trades, there are numar- Qua national sections con prising various categories: An. Interesting sample is that of Bri- tlah India which is taking part on a large scale in order, by means of the. Eeipzig Fair, to open up now markets for its textile raw materials and manufactures, as well as for its minerals, vegs- table oils, leather goods, art in-}, dustry output, carpets, silk and other exporta
At the last Leipzig Spring Fair, the business visitors totalled 200 |000, including 29,890 buyers from abroad. The exhibitors number- ed 10,106, of whom 1,144 were foreignera.
