COMMODITIES LIMITED : PROFITS DOUBLED

SIR,—The Government are continually being attacked for failing to release sufficient of everyday commodities for civilian use, but in spite of this the large stores are all increasing and, in one case, almost doubling their profits. I should like someone with a better financial mind than mine

to explain this phenomenon.—Yours faithfully, H. T. SMITH. 92 Handsids Lane, Welwyn Garden City, Herts.
