Both in those export advances al ready made and the application for loans now forming the basis of nego- tiation. cotton is the chief commodity
 More than s3O 900 900 is involved by cotton loans to finance exports. Large advances are to be made soon on wheat for export. These initial ad- vances will be about S10 900 900. Large advances also have been made to sup port exports of condensed milk and meat products. In these two groups the advances have amounted to about S5,000, 900. Other substantial advances have been scattered over a wide range of such commodities as tobacco, cop per, sheet steel, sugar, mill machinery, canned fruits and vegetables. Out of the advances of the corporation $22,- 900 000 has been loaned to banking in- stitutions for the benefit of their export connections.

GOVERNMENT LOOKS
 FOR SOME IMPROVEMENT

Under this plan the government is giving support to the producer and ex- porter, expecting that by the begin ming of another year conditions will have improved both in domestic and international trade, as a result of ad- justment of some of the disorders now noted in foreign currency systems.
 The program to finance the needs of farmers on products raised this year will call for heavy advances in these channels Officials today could not estimate what sums may be needed to facilitate the operations of the farm CTS. But there is a firm disposition by the administration, through the medium of the finance corporation and the federal reserve system, to make credit more easily available to agri- cultural groups and to help them to

NEED INCREASED EXPORTS
 BUT DEAR MONEY ImPEDEs

We need to increase our exports. But in our new place as the greatest creditor country we find it difficult. The difficulty is increased by the fact that American money is the best in the world-the most expensive.
 Take Italy, for an example. On a gold basis five Italian lire would buy a dollars worth of goods from America. But the lire is so depreciat- ed that it takes more than twenty lire now to buy a dollar Naturally the Italians want to buy in a market where he gets more for his money. American money being at the top of the heap, they are all trying to get goods somewhere else rather than from America
 This cheapness in the value of mon cy of all other countries, therefore, is driving them away from American markets. They are trading with other countries whose currencies are de- preciated nearer to their own stand ard of exchange. Officials have no way of predicting when these ex- change fluctuations will cease and currencies made more stable.
 Out of the chaos in exchange there have come to the officials reports that some of the industrial countries that are fighting America in capturing world trade wherever it can be gained, or re-opencd, are not disturbed over their low exchange, but are taking ad- vantage of that situation, especially if America is a strong competitor.

 WASHINGTON, Sept. 13-Contin- ued decline in export trade in recent moHths, from the peak" figures of the war period has brought with it still larger degree of uncertainty in domestic industrial trade fields.
 The governments program to fin. ance exports may be brOadened con siderably. It is also probable that the plan extending financial relief to do- mestic agriculture must assume larg. CT proportions, with the inevitable pill ing up of surplus stocks in American warehouses;
 Exports dropped from $S000, ,000 900 to $6.500 100000 last year. Since the beginning of the new fiscal year. July 1. the decline has continued. Future months probably will show steady drops in the volume of goods sold to foreign buyers.
 Officials are giving close study to the problem in connection with it's bearing upon measures designed to aid in restoring business in general to normal. Comptroller of the Currency Crissinger's explanation of the export trade drop and what it means to Amer ican business was this:

FALLING EXPORTS GLUT
 HOME MARKETS OF GOODS

The falling off in exports continues to back up in American markets a much larger supply of goods not need ed at home This accumulation of goods. normally raised for export, is having disastrous effect upon the agricultural and other industries, be- cause it renders more serious the price uncertainties of the near future on many staple goods.
 To prevent any great disturbance coming to American producers and shippers. The War Finance Corpora tion has adopted a policy, giving larg CT credit relief to concerns having goods for export The corporation has already assured to producers and export associations nearly $1O0,0O0,0OO in financial backing from government funds
 It is expected that several hundred million dollars will be advanced by the corporation. now that it becames evident that heavier withdrawals on the export credit account will be jus tified.
 Most of the corporations loans have been made to assist in financing ex ports, which are permitted to remain in American warehouses for a period of six months before actual move mpnt oyerspaS
