TO cotton and mineral oils in the
foreign trade" said Klein. There
lis every indication that the adj
vance in automobile exports will
continue because of the general
improvement in world economic
conditions, the lower prices Of
American cars, the inability of
most European producers to satisfy
even home demands, and the ex
ploitation Of hitherto undeveloped
markets.
The smaller excess of foreign
sales over purchases last year in

tons, according to Klein. He said
that when the country is prosper
Gus and industries active there is
a greater demand for exotic food
stuffs and raw materials.
Exports in 1925 showed an In
crease of z per cent in the value
of crude materials, per cent in
semi goods and 16
per cent in finished products.
The South American situation
was favorable. the United States
having a much larger share Of
the trade than before the war, as
compared to a corresponding de-
crease in percentages supplied by
leading European rivals.
