BRITAIN'S BEST
CUSTOMER.
INDIA STILL LEADS IN COTTON PURCHASES.
London, Sept. 2-India is still Great Britain's best customer for cotton goods, according to a state. ment just made officially in the Board of Trade Journal. But al- though Lancashire still found In- 30 dia to be her principal market in 19* 1931, the percentage of exports of cotton piece goods to her has fallen very greatly since pre-war days.
In 1913, the Journal states, 43 per cent of Britain's piece goods ware sent to India but last year this figure had dropped to 20 per cent,, while the percentage of unbleached piece goods sold in India in 1913 was 63, whereas in 1031 it had drop- pod to only 18 per cent.
