EUROPEAN LETTER.

[By Milton Bronner for the

Telegraph.]

London, Oct. 20-A bay market. You naturally think of some small country town if you speak of that kind of market. You see the tall furmers hay wagons with the nearby. And beyond them you ace the green fields from which the hay comes. All this, despite the fact that this is the age of the motor driven vehicle and the decline of the horse.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1925.

Bond Street-narrow, poorly- built Bond Street-is rejoicing. All summer long the street has been closed to vehicular traffic because) the authorities were giving it a much needed resurfacing,

And the shopkeepers and the newspapers moaned about it because the summer visitors were thus being kept off fromthe world's greatest shopping street." The fact of the matter is, of course, that Bond Street is living on past traditions.

There was a time when it was the street of the world. Its only rival was the Rue de la Paix in Paris. You can still get precious But come with me for a stroll and rare and costly things in Bond Just a short distance beyond Lon-Street. But there is probably don's Wall Street district.

Lombard street and its kindred' streets were streets of money Aldgate is the entrance way to the vast, dreary, endless, stretching miles of London's East End.

And right in the heart of it, on a wide street drawn up four abreast, are loads of hay. Here is the hay market.

The police have often objected to it. They say it takes up too much space and slows up traffic. But custom is still stronger than the police.

The market stays. It will probably still be going strong in the twenty-first century-if there are any horses left in London.

The manager of a big restaurant in London said the other day that in the world's biggest city there were only 80 first-class waiters.

Business in America is more often than not simply business. It is simply a case of "get the dollars." in London, business is business, plus

romance.

Take sugar, for instance.

The ordinary wholesale sugar dealer or broker in New York or Chicago has to consider mainly only the American and Cuban crop, especially if you include in the term "American," the sugar from Hawall and the Philippines.
