countries exports show a big decline in the closing
months OF the year under consideration The total ex-
ports to Germany in June, i92i were in round terms

crease Of over 80 per cent while Europe as whole
the June exports 40 per cent below those the
month Of last year.

ment the tendency return 10 prevar conditions has
been less strongly marked the total imports from Ger

The 1921 imports from Germany follow along lines similar
to those prior TO the war, including gloves decorated
china aces and embroideries fertilizers chemicals toys

ess in quantity and value than prior to the war
