RECORD TRADE AT LONDON
LARGE INCREASE IN TONNAGE. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 5.5 p.m. London, Dec. 3. The Port of London has broken all records with two million tons more shipping from April to October than in the corresponding period last year. The increase should reach 4,000,000 tons for 1929 and the total 60,000,000 tons. The reasons are the increase in berthing facilities, the transfer of industry from the north to the south of England, and the establishment of works and factories on the Thames banks. The London market since January 1 has taken 70,000 tons of New Zealand cheese and a large quantity of butter.
