COMMERCIAL
BRITISH TRADE RETURNS.
(British Official Wirlesss.) Rugby, November 11
An improvement in British overseas trade for October is recorded in the Board of Trade returns issued today. Exports for the month totalled £61,000,000. being an advance of £500,000 compared with Septemwhile imports amounted to £105,000,000. being an increase of £3,000,000 compared with September. A comparison of the first ten months of the present rear with the period of 1926 shows that the increase in exports during that period is about £30,500,000. Though the increase during October was not great., the last three or four months have actually been responsible for the greater part of the increase of the ten months, thus showing that the export trade of the country has received an extraordinary impetus in a short time.
Coal_ has almost reached the level of 1925. and iron and steel manufacturers are actually £1,000,000 above those of 1926. The volume of exports of machinery, too is almost equivalent to two years ago. Imports for the first ten months of this year, however, declined nearly £lO,000.000 on 1.926 and over on 1925.
