THINKS TRADE BALANCE
WILL EXCEED A BILLION
Department of Commerce Predict, I'm.
nrrcedented Record for
Ftscnl lenr

WASHINGTON, May o6.-Increase in
exports and decreases in imports are
shown for the United States in April
1919. compared with the same month
OF inc preceding year, in a statement
ISSUED to-day by the Department OF
Commerce. The exports for last month
totaled S294,i10.19?, or s94656,76l high
er than the record year.
The exports for April, 1914. were
S1.2.552.510. When compared with the
low points in United States commerce
of August last. the figures for last
month show an increase of 23.7 per cent
for the imports and 1868 per cent for
the exports.
The figures for the ten months end
ing April 80. 1915, show favorable
balance on merchandise transactions in
excess of 1851 100000. If TO this be add
ed the known excuses of exports over
imports for the three weeks of May
closing with the 22d. the net favora BILE
trade balance thus far during the fiscal
year is we'll in excess of $500. 600 600,
and it is probable that the export bal
ance for the fiscal year ending June 30
next will exceed $1,000. 900. ooo or about
s335,0oo.o0o more than the former high
record export balance recorded In the
fiscal year 1905.
These are facts unprecedented in our
commercial history. They derive. how
ever. greater weight when it is con-
sidered that they include two months
July and August. l914-in which the
trade balance was temporarily against
us.
The change from conditions existing
year ago appears from the fact that
whereas by reason of large imports of
foodstuffs and reduced exports of them
during April. 1914, an adverse trade
balance of over $1,000, 900 was then
shown. there is this year in April a
"a .nrah 10 hal of lr0
100000. net change. as the record
shows, in our favor of s145, 100000.

Old Fuca thought he had found
