FRENCH EXPORTS
SHOW INCREASE
Imports Decline 6,07S,344
Tons, Compared With Cor
responding 1920 Period.

Frances foreign trade for the
first six months of 1921, according
to official figures, showed an in
crease in exports of 1,S02,471 tons
and a decrease in imports of 6,078,-
334 tons compared to the figures
of last year for a corresponding
period.
Detailed returns received by the
Bankers Trust Company, of New
York, from its French Information
service, indicate a decrease in food
stuffs imported amounting to $780,
S06 tons, demonstrating the progress
made in supplying home demands
with home products. Imports of
raw materials decreased 3.s65,s47
tons. but for the expansion Of
French industry 1t is regarded as
probable that France will sooner or
later have to increase considerably
its imports Of this nature.
Following are the comparative
tables of Frances trade for the first
half Of 1920 and 1921. The figures
in table A represent tons and those
in table B francs. The. values for
1871 In table B are estimated ac-
cording to rates in 1919 and are
only provisional. Those for 1920
are exact. 0.
