Leroy Beers Says Better Conditions
Prevail in Europe

The New York News Record Of
April "a publ shes the following;
Leroy A. Beers, general manager
Of theTryon Knitting Mills, Of Am
sterdam, n, Y, whicl recently estab-
lished branch in Bennington VT,
returned recently from an extended
European trip, visiting the cities OF
London and Manchester in England,
Glasgow in Scotland and Amsterdam
in Holland. He says that general bust
ness conditions have improved mat
erially in Great Britain since the end
OF the war, but have yet long way
to go before reaching normal. Pract'
ically all OF the large mercantile con
Germs took very heavy losses in their
shrinkage Of inventory values.
"At the same time Mr.. Beers says,
"the credit situation among retailers
is much more satisfactory than In
this country, and there have been
materially fewer instances OF bank
duptcy. One reason for this is the con
seryation in trade methods in vogue
in the British Isles as compared with
the free and easy methods in the
United States.
"The condition Of unemployment
has improved little, if any. The ship.
building trade IS at standstill, and
this particularly affects the prosper
ity OF Glasgow and Southampton,
where the ship yards suffer especial
ly as result Of the naval armament
reduction treaty. The mercantile
shipping trade mas decreased greatly
and hundreds Of merchant ships are
lying idle in the various harbots
German competition is very strong
in England. The German manufac-
turer SCENE willing to take almost
any price to enable him to move his
goods and obtain a little real money.
German-made safety razor sells
for a shilling"
An instance came to the attention
OF Mr. Beers where a fine grained
leather travelling bag, complete with
toilet articles, including manicure and
shaving sets, was purchased for the
equivalent Of 49, In this country such
bag would reasonably sell for $50
Other merchandise is being sold at
relatively low figures, he stated
