OVERSEAS

TRADE

INCREASES

An analysis of the big increases In Britain's overseas trade, last year, compared with 1936, was made possible last month by the issue of the Board of Trade re- turns, states the Glasgow "Bul- letin."

Preliminary figures have already been published, but the actual to- tals were:-

1937.

1936. Imports £1,029,064,826 £181,312,760 Exports €521,594,386 £80,980,507 Re-exports £75,160,835 £14,397.796. In comparing these figures it should not be overlooked that wholesale prices last year were on the average 15.1 per cent. higher than in 1938, and they were 8.7 per cent. higher than in 1930, the year which the past twelve month's most closely approached.

These statements were made in the Lower Chamber, by gor- ernment officials in reply to questions regarding the establish- ment of State-controlled firms in China and the scope of their ac- tivities.
