In a speech delivered before City of London bank ers and merchants, Mr. Neville Chamberlain said to- day that notwithstanding the fact that British exports for the first eight months of 1934 were £20,000,000 above those of the corresponding period last year, the difficulties in carrying on international trade seem to be increasing rather than decreasing.

Sterling had recently showed a seasonal weakness, he said. This was accentuated by financial and politi cal events abroad.
