The discussion as ■to the unreasonableness of high values •has continued to wage in the trade press, but the advocates-of the genu-inenef-iS of the position as reflected in current rates have- had all the best of the argument.

By the.way, last year 135,'5420wt of butter was re-exported from the United.Kingdom, as against 68,&140wfc in 1910, this because of the dr'ougjht on the Continent.
