HUN TRADE TRICKSTERS
The German cutlery industry is massine for an attack on the world's markets. Mr. YV. C. Veall, of Nceaham, Vcall, and Tyzack, Sheffield, one of a band of cutlers who recently accompanied the British commercial missio l into Germany, savs:—"Tho Germans have an immense stock of comparatively low-priced cutlery, ~both roush and finished, stored iu Holland awaiting shipment to Mexico, South America, the United States, Spain, and oilier foreign markets. ".Many of the goods we saw bear English descriptions, such as 'Keen cutting knives.' Many scissors are mounted on cards printed in English, but few of the articles show the sources of origin, tho obvious intention boing to represent them as Uritiish-madc. Many articles are stamped 'Warranted Sheffield steel.' "German manufacturers, when tackled, sousrht to create the impression that they were made from pre-war stocks. TTou must have had enormous slocks if you have not exhausted them in live years,' 1 said to ii German maker. 'Oh, we had.' he airily replied. "Our moral is; We must have raoro and cheaper production."
