Promise in British Trade Signs and Wembley Fairs
Favorable signs in British trade renew confidence and promise better business says Commercial Attache W.8. Tower from London. The British Industries Fair and Empire Exhibition at Wembley are in full swing. The budget removes the corporation profits tax and leaves income and death duties unchanged. High franc value reduces continental competition. Resumption of work in mines and shipyards and higher bank clearings plus firmer prices complete the favorable factors.
