The condition of our foreign trade remalna unsatisfactory becauae of relatively small exports and large Imports. Possibly we may be able to shlD securities more freely in settle' ment of our foreign indebtedness, which must be considerable. 'The monetary sttustion abroad Is not entirely comfortable.
