Production Costs Increased in Europe

countries will be increased over The

production, America may be counted
upon to keep well apace. The cost Of
production and labor, and the in.
creased shipping and banking fac.
tiles, as compared with pre-war com.
petition conditions, greatly favor the
American trader. The uncertain fac
tor in the immediate future of our for
eign trade is the unsOlved problem Of
foreign credit.
At the rates of exchange prevailing

equivalent of $2.74 in British money,

ian money, and $13.47 in German
money. If the depreciation of Euro
pean moneys continues, or the rate OF
exchange becomes more abnormal, II
will probably restrict imports not only
of bread cereals. but also of other
commodities, to the bare necessities
