BALANCE OF TRADE IN
FAVOR OF U; S. SO FAR
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Expected Export Record Will
' be $1,000,000,000 at End
of Fiscal Year.
Washington. May 2S.Flgure read
public by the department of commerce
today show that. April, 1915, Imports
totaled M169,7,19. afalast 1173,
762.114 In April last year and J14
194.461 In April, 111.- ;
April exports-rose $94,656,761 above
'the best record "made In April of any
earlier vear. betas; 1294.470.199. against
$12,e3,570 In April, 1914. and $199,-
, 13.4J8?. In' AprtU ' 1913. Comparing
April trade with the low points touched
in August last, imports have increased
S3. 7 per cent and exports 166.8 per
cent.: ; -.' - . . ,
!Of theADrlt 115, Imports, 3.ej?er
cent entered free of duty, compared
with 62 per, cent in April, 1914, and
83.6 per cent In April, 191.
' Comearin Imports and exports dur-
. fns; tbe 10 months endlnr with April
f the .years named, imports, nave
fallen from $1,672,114,692 in 1914 to
: $1,374,189,749 in 1915r a decrease of
8197.924,943. or 12.6 per cent, while ex
poets have risen from $2,045,774,485 to
$2,225,548,068. an Increase of $179,773,.
$$3, or 8.8 per cent. . '
The f i g-ures for- the 10 months ending-
April SO. 1915, show a favorable
balance on merchandise transactions
In excess of -$851,000)00. If to this be
added tbe knjbwn excesses of exports
over Imports for the three weeks of.
X May closing with the 22nd, the net
favorable trade balance thus far dur
ing the fiscal year is well in excess
Of $900,000,000, and It is probable that
the export balance for the fiscal year
ending June 80 next will exceed 11,
? 000,000,000. or about $335,000,000 more
. than the former high record export
balance recorded in the fiscal year
1908.
These are facts unprecedented In
ur commercial history. They derive,
: however, greater weight when it is
considered that they Include two
months. , July and August, 1914, In
which, the trade balance was . tempor
arily against us. The change from
conditions existing a year ago appears
from the fact that wiiereas by reason
of large imports of foodstuffs and re
duced exports of them during April,'
1914, - an adverse trade balance of
ever $11,000,000 was then shown, there
is this year In April a favorable bal
ance of very nearly $134,000,000, a net
change, as. the. record; shows. In our
favor of $145,000,080.'
April. 1915, Imports of gold aggre
gated $16,23,028,. against $3,460,424
In April last year, while Aeri! xoorts
, f gold were $813,706, compared with
sioz.ass m April. 1914. The nine
months ending with April of tbe cur
rent year showed an export balance of
$54,033,902; a fact wholly due to tbe
large excess of exports over Imports
of gold in the period from July to No
vember. Those months showed an ag
gregate export balance of $116,000,000.
while the succeeding months to April
80 showed an Import balance of $62,
- 000.000 in the movement of gold.
