TRADE

Diminishing In Volume

[Special to the "Hong Kong Dally

Press" (Copyright.)]

Paris, Sept. 24.

Practical experience with the clearing house. process between France and Germany shows that the volume of trade tends to diminish considerably. The Ger- man export to France, according to the French statistics, declined from the monthly average from January to June this year by 200 million francs to 165 millions in July and 181 millions in August. while the French export to Ger- many "which averaged from Jan- uary to July 150 million francs. reached 168 millions in August. So that instead of Germany aver- aging surplus in export" to France of five million Franes from January to July. Inclusive, there was a deficit against Germany of 17 millions in August.

...

The total trade between the two countries declined

trom the monthly

average of 350 millan from January to June to 319 in August This result is partly ex- plained by the mentality of the French importer who refuses to trouble himself with complicated formalities. Under these circum- stances the unpopularity both in France and in Germany of the clearing house process is not dim- cult to understand.- Transocean Kuò Min.
