But recently, German made toys, blankets, thermos- flasks," garters, &c. have made their appearance. The shopkeepers themselves cannot say whether the liking for these goods is due to their make-up or to the competitive prices irrespective of quality, but there is no gainsaying the fact that there is a large turnover in this trade which seems likely to expand.

There is a tendency to buy on the "to arrive" basis as the purchasers wish to en- sure a steady stream of shipments away if transport is not hampered.
