BY the Associated Press.
A $4,000 900 favorable trade bal
ance for the Philippines, despite a
decline in imports and exports, is
shown in a summary of Gov. Gen.
Woods financial report for 1896.
THE balance Of trade was ample to
meet all payments of the government
and private business abroad" the
summary said.
The reduction in imports was placed
at 500, 600 as compared to 1925, due
mainly to the 10 per cent increase of
the domestic rice crop for 1926, the
largest recorded for the islands
There was a consequent reduction
of 100000 in importati0ns of wheat
flour and $1,000000 in rice importa-
tions.
Exports declined $13,00,000, due to
falling off in the sugar movement,
which dropped in the first nine months
to 285000 long tons, as compared
with 406 900 long tons the year before
