The fact that this Is the last week

Belief that England has gradually
pared production costs to a point
where British industries can compete
more successfully with the United
States in foreign markets iS expressed
by Dillon, Read & Co. in the firms
current investment review. With
British prices of eXportable commo-
dities per cent lower than ours, the
review indicates that the time is not
far distant when demands Of custo-
mers, anxious to buy where goods are
cheap, will make it evident that the
diversion Of Great Britain's funds into
the channels Of domestic production
has been to her advantage.
At the same time, the bankers re-
port further withdrawal by Great
Britain from the international capital
market, with British loans for foreign
countries totaling only E5,610,500,
against a pre-war figure of $67,778,2 200,
the review says it is evident that bor-
rowerS are going to the cheapest mar

proximately 40 per cent Of the plain

ton in April totaled 579,799 bales.
