ONDoN. Sept 10.-The publication
of the report of Secretary MOur-
Bell. commercial agent of Great
Britain in the United States on Amer
lean trade, and especially Mr.. Bells
comment on the reduction in American
exports, has resulted in a number of
lengthy expressions of editorial opinion.
The Daily Telegraph makes a careful
analysis of Mr.. Mour- Bells facts and
deductions, and reaches the conclusion
that the decrease in American exports
is merely a warning 10 Britishers.
American attacks upon European and
colonial markets have been weakened
for the moment only" says the paper,
land will be resumed with immensely
augmented force"
Nerve and Daring.
Mr.. Bells favorable comments on the
action of the United States Steel cor
pOration in not raising the price Of
steel in spite of the demand for that
article, causes the Daily Telegraph to
say:
This is a signal combination of
nerve, daring and firm judgment which
stamps the personality of the great
American man of business. Mr.. Nor
gan and Mr.. Schwab entirely decline to
fulfill the pessimistic predictions of our
traditional economists. The managers
of the 81 900, 900, 900 combine have chosen
the better part with perfect foresight
