OUTLOOK FOR take on the part of United Kingdom manufacturers to ignpre the growing strength of this competition. There are .hose- who believe that' this wits done in some instances in past years e e when Germany conimettc d to gather information and samples in various markets and to obtain a foothold, in trade's in which severe competition had •not generally been anticipated, Agencies in linked Stilted, It is still a matter for the considerat ' ion of certain United Kingdom firms as to whether their agency arrange- ments for Ontario and Canada generally should be treatced as part of their United. States agency arrangements. At least one British firth with branch works' in the United States has now established a branch in Ontario. The tendency of United States firms with trade connections in Canada is to be es tabiished separate units in Canada, either branch works, offices or agents to deal with their Canadian trade. There appears to be an opportun- ity for increased sales of machinery of various kinds in this market including air compressors hoisting machinery mining, equipment, textile machinery, anti.v:,erious other lines in which United Getting the Til Outo the Farm There is mots energy in z pound of good bread made - in , the home with Royal Yeast.

TORONTO Kingdom firms have proved specialists. Three of the factors operating against greater business are the lack of suf- ficient local representation and active salesmanship the failure of United King don manufacturers to keep in con- stant touch with those who have pur- chased their inaeltines and the inability to effect repairs and supply spare parts et short notice, While the busi- ness In any one line may not be large enough to justify the establishment of a proper focal organization, which should remove difficulties noted it might prove feasible for several manu- facturers of non-conpresentation here with a technical man to look after re- pairs a good 'sales organization which would adopt the American "follow up" system, as it is termed, and a stock- of the spare parts which are . most likely to. be needed. Unless some such system is adopted, it is to be feared that the imports of United mach inery to this market will become con- tinually entailer, • From War To Peace, , The transition of industrial works frotn 'a war to a peace basis is being t effected' gradually and with varying 'results. Foundries ,and machine shops, in some instances appear to have dif- ficulty in securing sufficient business to occupy their capacity since the Armistice. Many works were enlarged to cope with the -demand for inunit- tons and the increased capacity has not always been utilized partly, on account of labor -troubles, dull market conditions in certain lines and the sale of second-hand machinery previously used in munition shops.

A number of let- ters received from His Majesty's con- sular officers in-yariuuis parts of the world have been transmitted to local firsts making inquiries abroad, Acknow (edging the receipt of such a letter a Toronto firm wrote:—"The informat- ion suppled is of considerable assist- ance to us and it will avoid us incurring• expenses in that territory which would eventually prove unprofitable." tis an be es s. in is a y li 0 s t try the benefits of any special trade ar- rangements made for the units of the British Empire.

Trade Within The Empire. There is a strong desire in Ontario :(id Canada. generally to trade with the United' Kingdom aid other parts of the British Empire whenever Canadian in- dustries cannot supply' local wants. This was gdvee practical shape in the re 1 quests to this office of Canadian man- ufactured artidies. United Kingdom Bring have also made enquires here with a view to transferring their buy- ing from foreign countries to Canada. An English first which erected, branch works in Ontario, instructed their con- tractors to buy materials and equip- nteyt as far as possible in Canada, and in any event not outside the British Empire, title enlargement of such a pot icy throughout the Empire will uncioubt edly prove a vital lacier in building up inter -imperial trade, As the work of the British Trade Commissioners In Canada proceeds, it is seen that the tendency to strengthen I the relations within. the British Empire Is becoming more pronounced. Inquir- ies were received from United Kingdom firths for example with regard to the possible purchase in Ontario, of infer mediates for dye making ground mica and sheet mica. in at least one of -these cases part of tile. business Was diverted from a foreign country to Canada Cor- respondence or- respo tdence has been carried on with Direct Trading On account of war conditions more direct trading has developed during the past few years, Large Canadian imports of tea for example have come to Van- couver from the tea plantations rather than through London.
