Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forth and Clyde Ship Canal in Relation to the Development of Commerce Foreign A perpetual commercial war is being waged between competition. This and continental countries. The latter are gradually extending their operations, and frequently gaining ground in British home and foreign markets, chiefly by being able to quote lower prices. To nable this country to maintain its leading position every means should be adopted to reduce prices, without unduly affecting profits. The ship canal, by reducing freights on raw materials and articles of bulk, would conduce to this result, and aid the country in maintaining its commerce, and extending its operations to markets presently closed against it.
