LESS CRUDE MATERIAL.
q. S. Imports for Manufactures De-
cline in February.

The United States is importing less
crude material. for use in manufacturing,
in proportion to the total imports, but is
exporting more. An analysis of our inn
port and export trade for February.
1924, and for the eight months ending
with February last. shows that in Feb
ruart this year our imports of crude
materials for use in manufacturing
amounted to 50 per cent of the total
imports, compared with AZ per cent in
the same month last year. For the
eight-month period just closed crude
material imports were "a per cent of
the total, compared with 40 per cent in
The same period in the year previous.
Turning to the export side, the statistics
show crude material exports in Febru-
ary, 1924. at 81 per cent of the total,
against &c per cent in the same month
in 1923. The percentage for the eight
month period ending February, 1924,
was "a, against % in the previous eight
month period. The proportion of COM
pletely manufactured goods in both ex-
ports and imports has shown but slight
change in the year-to-year comparisons.

Spring has begun with the effects
of a late Easter season complicated
by the cautious, piecemeal buying
previously noted. all irregular indus

ing of activity being noted as be-
tween different trades-a late and
rather spotted crop situation, and
rather more marked easing in secur-
ity and commodity prices than had
previously been, noted. -
Weather conditions bulk large in
the reports of approximate quiet in
retail and jobbing trade. rains, snow
and bad roads all, coming in for mem

year~ago in March, coming from
many cities and country sections
generally. must be considered in the
light of the fact that Easter is nearly
