FOREIGN IMPORTS SHOW
BIG SLUMP IN JANUARY
Drop of Nearly 100 Per Cent in
Revenue Reported.

A slump of nearly 100 per cent
in customs revenue for the hrst half
OF January, reflected big decline In
dutiable imports from abroad. Treas
ury figures today showed.
Customs dues amounted to $7.oso,-
200. as compared with s15.OOO,O0O IN
the corresponding ffteen-day period
last year.
Ordinary receipts paid into the
Treasury from customs, income ana
profits tax, and revenue sources were
sos 593, 900 or about $25.OOO.OOo DC
low the total for the corresponding
fifteen day period last year.
These figures bear out suggestions
Of officials made earlier that re-
Ceipts from various sources were due
to decline, rather than show an IN
crease during the year.
Falling off in imports OF many
dutiable commodities is ascribed TO
the fact that some foreign countries
are not now finding a market here
for a number OF staples, shipped
here in large amounts in the asst
year.
