Imports of Hosiery eleven times normal amounts. Preasing Danger,

Owing to expectations of tariffs in Britain, unprecedent- ed dumping of foreign goods is occurring. Foreign manu- facturera of all sorts are hurry- ing enormous quantities of goods to Britain in order to evade the tariff they eae ahend.

Sir Gilbert Vyse at the Birmingham Chamber of Com- merce yesterday urged that the Government should be warned of the present enor- . mously increased flow of im-. ports.

The quantity of hosiery sent from abroad recently wal eleven *times the normal amount and enough to stock the country for nine or twelve months. This was happening also in the hard- ware trade, and a large variety of other manufactured goods. In the present difficult times these increased Importa were constituting an imme diate extra danger.

Nine months' supply in one. month must be paid for im- mediately instead of the money flowing out normally."
