Newcastle-Speaking at the annuşl meeting of the Tyne Improvement Commission, at which Sir W. J. Noble, Bart, presided, Mr. Francis Priestinan, chairman of the Finance Committee, said the figures for 1028 were good, and the proper manipula- tion of them with the necessary labour and care had been such that the committee was able to point with sume degree of pride to the results of the year. The credit of the Com- mission, he said, stood high.

Moving the adoption of the con~. mittee's report and the statements of the Cominissioners accounts, te said:-

If this is not a great in- crease it is still very welcome, and, I think, significant. Welcome because of the increased additional revenue, and significant because it may be that it heralds the return to as of a larger share of the world's mar- kets.

Perhaps the most striking feature of our mineral export trade is the large increase in coke shipments dur- ing 1928. In 1913 the export was By 1927 it just over 300,000 tons. had arisen to over half- million, but in 1928 an export of 850,000 was reached a truly remarkable
