OF great cities everywhere and any

into effect today. This means the end
of the hasty rush of importations of
American and European goods which
the trades here ordered as soon as 1t

This dumping" race has been the
daily topic of the newspapers, which
featured with pictures the arrivals of
vast quantities of American motor
cars and other affected manufactures.
In the last few days British agents
have been busily dispatching from the
continent silk goods, motor car parts
and other commodities by airplanes
which in the past four days have
dumped 81 tons of such goods, mostly
from France and Switzerland, at Croy-
don, London's big air station. These
imports are valued at about $500. 900.
The last plane arriving yesterday
brought gold watches to the value of
several thousand sterling from Zurich.

clearance before the duties were levi
