REVIVAL OF EXPORTS.

A similar impression is the result of a careful examination of the statistics of our export trade for recent months. For the first few months after the Armistice the balance of trade against ns reached B dangerous level, Naturally there wa

big rush of imports to replenish stocks which had been exhausted during the war. To quote “official figures given by the Board of Trade, the value of our imports for the twelve months ended December 31st,, 1019, was £1,631,901,864, an increase compared with the same period of 1918 of £915,750,961, or 93.9 per cent. Exports totalled £798,372,871, an increase £296,953,974, or 50.2 per cent. Re-exporte represented £184,381,940, an increase of £313,378,859, or 431 per cent. The adverse balance of trade (excluding movements of coin and bullion) for the

Murray, Kelvinside Acade micals and London Scottish Murray took part in the Scottish trials and played against France, but was dropped against Wales Browning is a new cap; he made a great reputation in school football, and is regarded as one of the speedist threw quarters in the country. It is a pity that the Scottish pack will lack Maxwell's great height and weight, but there will be no appreciable difference in the cleverness of the front line, for Murray is a forward, food, drink and tobacco by of the old Scottish type, a dour fighter and the hardest of workers.
