TRADE BALANCE IS FALLING
While Imports Have Increased Exports
Have Decreased-ofhcials Hope
to Restore Dollars Value.

Washington, April 2.--America's fall
ing trade balance, while far from the
point which imports equal exports. is
being studied ~intently by officials to
see II the %unfayorable effect on for.
eign exchange may not be offset and
restore the dollar to a parity in those
neutral countries where it is worth
less than 100 cents.
Imports for February. the Depart.
ment OF Commerce announced TODAY.
increased 5 million dollars, while ex-
ports declined Sc million dollars
compared with February Of last year.
the totals being S207, us $40 for i'm
ports and 41l,7S6. 343 for exports.
For the first eight months Of the fis-
cal year imports amounted to $1,B41..
$4,000, an increase Of 2s4 million dol
lars over last year. The exports were
SS,S6S,S4S,227, which was 219 million
dollars less than last year. Conse.
quently the trade balance of $2.O22..
is less by 500 million dol airs
than in 1917.
Much OF the loss registered in the
'rade balance has been in trade with
sweden, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Bra
I'll and China. Americas trade bal
lnce with Spain is favorable, but the
'xigencies of allied finances have
;aused the dollar to drop in that coun-
through payments for large allied
purchases in exchange on this coun-
.ry. Some OF the loss in the ex-
'hange rate may be made up by the
'estriction on imports recently inaug.
rated by the war trade board and
which will be extended by lists OF
'ther prohibited articles to be issued
