Butter remains weak and irregular, finest New Zealand and Australian selling as low as 112 s and Ills though nominal quotations are higher. Tooley Street merchants anticipate further quietness, with even lower prices on the long view. Bacon prices reached their highest , since 1929, mainly owing to the im- ' proved industrial position. The August number of the League’s statistical bulletin shows that the gold value of world trade . during the second quarter of 1937 ! was 10 per cent, higher than in the , first quarter. In the same period. , the volume of world trade increased , by three per cent.
