TRADE REVIVAL.

March 19th.

The high tide of commercial and industrial activity which est in some eighteen months age.in to all appearances still rising, although it has long since passed the high water mark of previous years. I hear for instance that it was intended to build a large cotton mill in Hungary, hat that the plan had to be given up, as Messrs. Platt Bros, of Oldham were so fall of orders that they could not sugage | to deliver the necessary plant before 1960 and that German makers who were than approached gave a similar answer. This shows bow busy all the manufacturies are and how firm the belief in the continuatoe of good trade remains,

At the same time however nearly all the

HIGHER INTEREST RATES. -

We stated in our last report that industrial

enterprise had entstripped the growth of capital both in the United States and in Europe, notably in Germany. This has become more marked since then aid is clearly visible in subsequent economic developments. Increasel difficulty in the disposal of securities bearing a Exed rate of interest has compelled the corpora tions of towns in this country to agros to higher rate of interest for leans they wished to rajve, say 4 per cent instead of 34 per cent than bitberto and industrial establishments issuing naw debentures have had to submit to a similar advance.

POLITICAL EFFECTS.

The recent change in the political situation in Germany has favorably affected colonial enterprise and the cultivation of Cotton. The belief in a faresing colonial policy on the pari of the new Reichstag and to a broad-winded commercial spirit in the direction of colonial affairs hang aroused a keezer interest in colonial maffers amongst the German people and bas stimulated colonial enterprise in commercial and industrial circles.
