British Report on the Growing Trade

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON, Nov. 17.-Mr. BirchenouRh,
the special commissioner who was sent by
the Government to investigate the position
and prospects of British trade in South
Africa has submitted rosy report.
He says that, excluding war stores. the
imports have increased $50 per cent. in
ten years, the greatest increase by far
being during the past two years.
South Africa is already the second largest
of Great Britains customers. MIR. Birch
enough predicts that the trade with South
Africa will pass that with India during the
current year, and will become the largest
The most serious competitors with British
trade are the United States, Germany.
Belgium and Switzerland. The American
rivalry is concentrated in certain defined
branches, especially agricultural. mining
and electrical machinery. appliances. tools
fencing wire, furniture and other wooden
articles.
This competition s materially aided by
low freights, for which competing British
steamships carry American cargoes from
New York to South Africa. compared with
the freight rates from Great Britain to
South Africa.
Among other causes Of American success
is the presence at the mines OF American
engineers, who favor American machinery,
the superiority Of the American descriptive
catalogues, and the accessibility and bon
homie of the American agents, compared
with the reserve of the British agents.
MIR. Birchenough discusses the compara-
tive merits of the rivals Of the British de-
ducing various facts which show that while
the German and other European compete
ton needs to be watched it is only the
American competition that need really
