Britain Reducing Debt

Great Britain has reduced her ma
tional debt 1924 100000 since the first
Of the current year. when the DEBT was
at its maximum. The greater part of
the repayment has been in funded
debt represented by borrowings through
issues of short and long term securi-
ties such as national war bonds and
stock. The floating debt has also been
materially reduced.
A significant feature Of the debt stu
alton, according to information OBJ
tanned by the Bankers Trust Company
of New York from its London CORE
spondent, is that Great Britain is ad
herring closely to the program of debt
repayment outlined by the Chancello,
Of the Exchequer for the present tinan-
cial year. which began on April i. The
Chancellor's budget calls for a bal
snce of 1884, 900 600 in the fiscal year
to be applied to debt repayment. This
balance is to be obtained largely
through reduced expenditures. Up to
The end of August the expenditures
had been kept s92 100000 below the
national revenue: This balance, to-
cether with s5,00O000 from the Ex-
chequer balance, was applied to debt
reduction. The amount OF repayments
from April l to August 28 has actu-
ally been slightly in excess of the
amount required to equal the Chan
cellor's estimates.

these aame articles increase 244 per
cent in the = me period, while in the
exports the quantities show an increase
of 35 per cent and the valuation 225
per cent.
A still more striking evidence Of the
fact that the increase in quantity Of
merchandise imported or exported falls
far below the increase in stated value
is shown by an examination of the
final volumn of the table which states
the value at which the 1920 quantities s
of merchandise imported or exported
would have shown if stated in the
valuations of 1914. 1t will be seen that
the 1920 importes which are valued at
at the 1914 price only $1,977 200 900,
and that the 1920 exports stated at
$5.474, 900 would have amounted to
only $2,30S 100000 if exported at the
1914 prices. Assuming that similar
relation Of 1920 prices per unit Of
quantity occurred in those articles IN
which weights are not shown, it would
appear that the total imports into the
United States in tho Fl cal year 1920,
valued at s5,239, 100000, would, if
stated at the 1914 prices per unit of
quantity, have amounted to only about
$1,000, 900 ,000 and that the total domes-
oiS eNPoI'S ol ISIU, Wnlch were valued
at S,e5o,o00,o0o, would, if stated in
1914 prices. have amounted to only
about $3,34o, 100000, suggesting that
our total foreign commerce in 1920,
which totals (ncluding foreign mer-
chandise re-exported) $780, 900 900,
would, II stated at 1914 prices, have
amounted to but about $4,000 100000.
The extent to which this increase In
stated values OF both imports and ex-
ports is due in large degree to higher
prices is illustrated by a comparison of
the average import and export prices
Of certain important articles in 1920
with those of 1914.
OF raw silk, for example, tho average
import price in the fiscal year 1914 was

Chinese Color Prejudices

The fact that the Chinese give evil
dence Of decided ideas of their own q.
to the use of colors in materials, wrap
pings and poster advertising, was
recently commented upon in The Gin
cinnatian. Such prejudices have been
known to cause Chinese customer to
change his patronage merely because
of the coloring of packing paper used.
Though no definite rule can be applied
to all commercial uses of color, it can
be generally said that the gold, yellow,
red. bright brown, purple and certain
shades of pink are good colors. Gold
IS a digniiied color, red the color OF
good fortune. Imperial yellow is good
for rugs, carpets and curtains. White
and blue are mourning and should be
avoided as we'll as green, which is as
sociated with misfortune. The design
ing of posters and advertising mater
should always be handled by agencies
in China who are familiar with the
tastes and prejudices of the commun-
tiles involved.

Shows Great Decline

The report of Oberschlesische Berg

covering the year 1919, shos that in

mines operating in Upper Silesia,
wherein 1885 steam hoist engines were
used and 3SS electric motors were in
use, as against 405 in the prece ding
year.
There was 35 per cent less coal pro-
duced in the mines in 1919 than in the
previous year; 81, ,043 tons of coal
were shipped from these mines in 1919,
as against 36113,36o tons in 1918 and
40,337 ,215 tons in 1913.
Iron production has decreased con-

Canadian Exports
For Year Equal to
Half National Debt

Canadian exports for the year end-
ed September 80, according to returns
just issued by the Dominion Bureau
of Statistics, amounted to s1,21s,523,898.
The sum thus derived almost equals
one-haH OF the Canadian national debt.
is equivalent to little less than one
twelfth Of tho national wealth and ap-
proximstes In amount 30 per cent Of
the national income.
Official estimates place the wealth
Of the Canadian people at $4,000 900 900.
Their aggregate income is estimated
to be around s2.booooo,ooo. The
public debt is just over sa,o0o,ooo 900,
only 10 per cent Of the wealth. while
the annual interest charge is about
$l35, 100000 or less than 51s per cent Of
the national income.
Notwithstanding tho achievements Of
Canada In the World War, she has como
through the ordeal relatively much less
heavily burdened than any Of the bel
llgerents except the United States. In
book just published by the Bankers
Trust. Company, entitled The Dominion
OF Canada, it is said that the debt Of
the Dominion is 1898 per capita, and
the interest charge SIS, compared with
a debt Of 1928 per capita for Great
britain, $500 for Italy and $1,l50 for
france, while the interest charge borne
by the British people is nearly s37
each by the Italians 1914 and BY the

Mexico in. Best
Position to Buy
Here, Says Feely
Is Only Nation in Latin or
South america Whose
Products Haze Not
Declined in Value

Strange as It may seem, Mexico
at the present moment presents tho
greatest opportunity for American
exporters seeking business In Latin
and South Amerca, according to
Edward F. Feely, commercial attach6
to Argentina. who has been in the
city for several days. The situation
has just reversed itself in the last
several months.
Chief among the factors which have
virtually stopped all exports to South
America is the slump In prices Of
commodities which America imports,
such as coffee, rubber, hides and wool.
AS result of the sharp contraction
Of values, causing producers to hold
products in the primary markets,

Is Is per cent premium on the
dollar.
Bountiful grain crops are expected
in Argentina, however, and Mr.. Feely
looks for a recovery in trade as the
readjustment to new conditions ad-
vances. He is confident that q decided
improvement will be noted early in
the coming year.
Mr.. Feely emphasized the remark
able recovery In Mexico since tho end
Of the Carranza regime, pointing out
that business Is little affected by po-
litical complications in that country,
because virtually ell industry, ex-
cept agriculture. is in the hands Of
Europeans and Americans. The great
worldwide demand for Mexico's
products-petroleum and minerals
strengthens the country's trade posi-
tion. Because Of tho metallic basis
for money, exchange there has not
deprecated, Mexico and Japan being
tho only two countries whose rates
have remained practically at par.
