The agreement reached in the Irish

TO lead to much better demand for

and also to 1npan. and in some quar-
tiers the claim was mado that ian

! This was borne out to some extent
by ocean freight brokers who said
that they were meeting much bet
ter inquiry for ocean room for jan
unry sailing.
British board of trade returns for
, November cablcd to this market at
the end Of the week attracted much
attention, for they put exports Of
