AUSTRALIAN TRADE
U.S. AND CANADA INTERESTED MANY INQUIRIES By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 9.40 a.m. NEW YORK, Wed. Mr. James Silk, head of the Australian Trade Customs Office, informed the Australian Press Association that during the last three months he had received more inquiries concerning Commonwealth tariff, Custome regulations, and trade condition than during the entire previous year. Considerable importance atached to this fact in view of the fact that inquirers were nearly all well-known manufacturers, and not export agents. The office is kept busy answering letters, telephone messages, and personal callers. Among the trade groups interested are machinery, apparel, fabrics, automobile sundries, equipment, fabricated iron, steel, pianos. It is pointed out that the average manufaocturer in the United States has hitherto been busy with a domestic market, having no time or inclination to seek a foreign outlet; but in view of the recession of the domestic demand foreign markets are being sought, and Australia is very much favoured.—A. and N.Z.
