TRADE BY BARTER

GERMANY’S PLAN EXPERTS VISIT LONDON Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON. December 21. The ‘Daily Herald’ says: “A German economic mission, consisting of three experts, visited London last week, seeking a basis for barter trade with the dominions, and offered in exchange certain goods for dairy produce, wool, and other primax-y products, but the dominion representatives were not encouraging. It is significant that the price of dominioxx butter has fallen nearly 10s per cwt during the past 10 days owing to diversion to the Bi’itish market of supplies of Danish and Lithuanian butter shut out from Germany.” NEW KILE BRIDGE PART PAYMENT IN ONIONS.
