GREAT BRITAIN EXPECTS "REDUCED LIVING COSTS | Trade Better and There Are Signs of Improvement in Economic Conditions. London, Dec, 16.--The continued rise of sterling exchange is displayed | prominently by the newspapers, some reduction of prices of food and cot- ton importatiens from the United | States. This view the newspapers bolster by -citing the opinion of Premier Bon- ar Law, as expressed in the House of Commons, that unless some great disaster in foreign affairs occurs, Great Britain will very soon enjoy better trade. In more conservative however, although a tendency toward improvement is recognized with sat- isfaction, a warning is raised against building too confidently upon the im- | mediate future, and itis remarked | rise in exchange may lead( |gerated aaticipations of improved {economic conditions here. The financial editor of the Times | contends that speculation has un- doubtedly played an important part in .the rise of sterling and that 'he | pace is too hot to last. Referring to the reported "operations of an ex- coptional character," to which the advance in exchange is partly atiri- buled, the writer says: "It must not be inferred that the British government has been carry- ing out some private borrowing ar- rangement in New York or that "hers has been any manipulation on this side.
