BUSINESS ACTIVITY
NOTICEABLE IN BRITAIN A CONTINUED RECOVERY (British Official Wireless) (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) RUGBY, November 14. (Received Nov. 15, at 5.5 p.m.) Evidence of growing business activity, which promises well for a continued recovery in the next period, accumulates. News has reached Swansea of plans to reopen the Cwmfelin Tinplate Works, which have been idle for years. It is understood that the plant will be employed in the manufacture of steel cases for the carriage of fish, in place of the wooden boxes now in use. It is also considered probable that the Bryngwyn steel works in South Wales, which have been closed for six years, will begin work again shortly at Monkton, near Jarrow. In Durham there is a proposal to construct new coke ovens and by-product and coal-cleaning plant at a cost of £250,000, which will use about 200,000 tons of coal annually. One of the works at Middlesbrough, which has just booked a single order for 35,000 tons of steel, has increased its earnings by 18 per cent, since 1931 and is employing 59 per cent, more men.
