FROM WALES

The Welsh ports ane steadily winning back their world trade. At records for Brat glance the trade last year are not too cheering? The Chief, Wash ports-Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Barry, Port Talbot and Penarth-were: 1,000,000 tons short over the 12 months just ended. compared with their total trade in 1045.
But there is a logical reason for this big decrease in shipments. Inst year the Welsh ports, of course, did not handle the vast war supplies which were still pouring in and out of Britain in the previous year. The big oll exports to the war fronts and the military stores no longer pass through the Welsh ports.. Yet, already the merchandise of peace is beginning to flow in increasing quantities, Actually, nearly 14,000 ships loaded or unloaded cargoes in Wales last year-only 15 South percent fewer than in the bustling last year of the war,.
Imports are now rising, chiefly iron ore, pitwood, and machinery, while and steel goods and of tinplates a exports of partly manufactured fron booming week by week. Employ- docks ka now ineni at the Welsh Iden behind the experiments at better than at any period since the
