GERMAN TRADE DETOES.
SUBSTITUTE MANUFACTURE A. and N.Z. LONDON. May 13. The Amsterdam correspondent of the Daily Chronicle states that the annual fair at Leipsic was a decided success. Many Bulgarian, Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish buyers were present. No luxury articles, leather, or rubber goods were exhibited, but thousands of substitutes, especially in foods, were shown. German manufacturers are producing large quantities of cheap fancy goods made from substitute raw materials, which are cheaper, more plentiful and more durable than the original raw materials used before the "war. He adds that it is untrue that manufacturers are accumulating vast stocks for foreign markets after the war. The factories are working under difficulties, but will not take long in getting busy after the war. Meanwhile they are supplying goods to Holland, Scandinavia, | the Balkans, and Turkey^
