"ENGLAND'S BLOW."

"To manufacturers who export to England—abandon plans for the extension of your works." This is the significant counsel given to the German industrial world by the financial and commercial press in the light pf the British election results. It is summed up by the "Welt am Montag,' which says:—"The exact hour at which England will be placed under a protective regime cannot be foretold, but enough has happened to cause our manufacturers to be painfully cautious in their arrangements for the next few years. Those who export largely to England must scrupulously avoid enlarging their works, and must not be deceived by any temporary improvement in trade. It is especially the duty of the to make their influence felt in the direction of rastraining the inclination to extend manufacturing works. The effect of the blow England is about to deliver us can be partly counteracted if our preparations are made well in advance." The London correspondent of the 'Lokal Anzeiger' says:—"The naked .truth is that everything indicates that England in the very near future will return to that protective tariff which Bismarck, as lo"" ago as 1879, prophesied would he essential for the maintenance of the English home market."
