BRITAIN'S TRADE
THE BOARD’S LATEST RETURN LONDON, January 12. The Board of Trade returns show that the imports decreased by £12,630,000, and the exports by £6,381,000. The re-exports increased by £292,000. The principal decreases in the imports were: Grain and flour £1,747,000. meat £1,259,000, non-dutiable food and drink £1,220,000, wood and timber £996,000, raw cotton £652,000, oil seeds, etc. £602,000, and woollen worsted yarns and manufactures £909,000. The principal decreases in the exports were: Coal £529,000, and vehicles £2,102,000. THE ANTI-DUMPING DUTIES. EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS. LONDON, January 13. (Received Jan. 13, at 11 p.m.) The trade returns disclose striking evidence of the success of the antidumping duties and the likely result of the anti-dumping order of the present week, based on an examination of the recent imports. Textiles, clothing, silk stockings, linoleum and perfumery all show very heavy declines, which will be reflected in increased home production when the abnormal stocks which were accumulated in November are absorbed. The taxpayers have also responded bravely. The receipts for the first nine days of the new year were £39,553,000, compared with £30,776,000 for the first ten days of 1931. The increase is practically all due to income tax payments.
