WELCOMED BY FREE STATE
Great Relief to the Irish Cattle Trade TRADE OF MUTUAL BENEFIT MOST SENSIBLE STEP (United Press Association-.By Electric Telegraph Copyright). Received 1 p.m. to-dav. RUGBY, Jan. 7. The arrangements reached whereby the Irish Free State will import all its coal from the United Kingdom while the quota of Free State cattle entering the United Kingdom will be increased, has been welcomed by Free State business circles and Free State newspapers express much gratification at the measure which will give great relief to the Irish cattle trade. They describe it ns the first sensible step since the beginning of the “economic war.” The Times thinks the agreement reflects credit on all concerned and a sensible recognition that the two countries are the natural customers of each other. The Free State’s adverse trade balance for the year ending November was £20,146,043, constituting a record. Imports amounted to £38,708,023 and exports £18,651,980.
