Roger Beck saad the abatement of trade for the past moofth showed a shrinkage of 80,000 tons, as compared with the corresponding period of last year. Imports, however, showed a slight im- ( provement. Tar and pitch improved 1,200 tons, calamine, 9,000 tons; iron are, 7,000 tons; pyrites, 3,500 tons. There was a falling off, however, in sugar, of 1,500 tons; pig iron, 7,500 tons; wood goods, 3,000 tons; and grain, 3,500 tons. In the exports coal and cok e fell 77,000 tons, and tinpiates and galvanised sheets, 14,000 tons. There was a slight improvement in the exports of patent fuel of 6,000 tons. An adjustment of the ac- • counts left the actual result of the month's working a loss of £30. It was pleasing to notice that Norway and Franco nearly doubled their require- nients in tinpiates.

Large Cargo for the East. The Chairman said they had just sent to the Far East what he believed to be tie largest cargo they had ever sent there —one of about 11,000 tons.
