There is no reason to expect rauch change in the out- look. Consumption in Asia did not quite equal that of the previous half-year no doubt due to the strike which occurred in India. There seems to be no end to the strife which prevents expansion of trade in China. British trade is apparently squeezed between the competition of Japan on the one hand and the resump tion of Indian production on the other. In view of the brisk expost trade achieved in December 1994 and carried through to March 1925, the present totals from December through February, 13 per cent. below similar figures a year ago, are dis-Sinceres

"At this time of the year interest is largely centred on developments which may affect the acreage planted this spring. From such indications as are contained in the record of fertilizer sales and scattered comments on sentiment among the plant ers there is a widespread feeling that little change in the acreage will take place. To date, fertilizer sales, while much above those of last year when early season salca were small, are only moderately greater Thar. 29 than in 1923. They scarcely indicate any gain in cotton acreage.
