Trade For 1912.
Figures issued few days ago at
the bureau of customs giving totals OF
imports and exports for the first Ten
months of the present fiscal year show
a favorable net change in trade bal
ance compared with the correspond
ing months of fiscal year 1911 of
PIT, 649,264 but so far the actual trade
balance for the ten months shows
over S2,000,000 against the Philip
pines.
When the figures we're Issued two
months ago for the first eight months
of the fiscal year it looked very prob
able that this year would go on record
with favorable trade balance but
the heavy increase in the rice JIM
portations to the extent of about Pa
100000 above that of the same months
last year seems to have turned the
tables.

the present fiscal year amounted 10

of P2,207 ,290, but to Offset this in

to PHI ,06S,514 against S149,0O4,670 Of
last year, an increase of P22,063, S44.
