BIG DECREASES IN EXPORTS

Thr preliminary statement issued
BIZ the Department Of Commerce, Gov
ering the foreign trade Of tn" coun-
try during January. shows total OK
nor, and i,nrort business of 1888 900
900 for the month. This was a decline
OF $T3. 900. 900 compared with the pre-.
cedins month. December. and S96''
Un0. 900 less than the trade Of January,
1917. Taking as a longer period for
comparison the first seven months OF
the fiscal year, the imports from July
10 January. inclusive, amounted TO ST.
H3t .000. 900, an Increase OF $2S6.0OO.0Qp
over the imports of tho sam" period
year ago, and the exports amounted
10 s3,44S. 0n0 900. or S1GS 900. 900 less
than those Of a year ago.
II is possible that the most import
ant single factor explaining these
changes in the foreign trade OF the
country has been government control
In the duration of this control is found
the chief reason why exports nave
fallen off and imports have little
more than held their own. The first
export proclamation went into effect
on July Is. and the exports were, there
fore under control for all but fifteen
DAYS OF the scven-monthS' period re-.
Serrcd TO. The first import prOclana-
ton. on the other hand. did not be-
come operative until November IS.
While every effort has been made
since these original prnclamations
went into effect to Interfere as little
- POSSIBLE with tn" legitimate and rs.
scntial foreign trade, war requirements
have compelled the government Cradu-
;.lly 10 extend it's control TO other lines.
and to restrict NOR" and more the
lines already under control.
The natural effect OF m" rrcsiden'
tial rroclamalionS OF February 18th.
which brought the entire foreign. trad"
OF the country under control, should
be 10 cause 4 further drop in exports
and 20 check the growth of imports
This will probably b" brought about
by a greater restriction upon the ship
menl OF the commodIi"S which arc
loss essential from either The national
or th" international standpoint.
