PREFERENTIAL TRADE.
London, January 8. United States official statists show that Bradford's woollen exports to the United States in 1903 were worth £2,048,706, the highest since the Dingley tariff was imposed. The Opposition in the House of Commons at the earliest opportunity will submit a comprehensive free trade amendment to the Address in Reply, framed so as to secure the support of the Unionist free fooders. Mr Chamberlain, in a letter to General Richard Harrison, Unionist 3andidate for the House of Commons for Mid-Devon, says: "My proposals snsure moderate preference on corn, mi especially meat and dairy proluce, helping the farmers and lm)roving the value of holders' allotnents."
. The Walsall District Chamber of Commerce, by 39 to 11, has endorsed Mr Chamberlain's policy.
