London, July 24.

A striking review of the progreRN of Empire trade is contained in the thir annual report of the Empira Marketing Board, The report saya that the tide of Empire lardo is flowing strongly.

The Oversoni Empire, while it comprises only a arter of the world's surface and population, absorbs nearly half the United Kingdom's exports.

The report includes a survey of the leading exports for the past half century, showing that every Domin ion said Colony has advanced from n relatively modest position into that of important contributors and purchasers in the great markets f the world.&rater.
