COMMODITIES GAIN
IN EXPORT TRADE
Chamber of Commerce Fig
ures Reveal Increased Sales
of Raw Materials.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Certain basic commodities made note
worthy gains in American export trade
during the first six months Of 1891,
despite a decrease of 1855 per cent in
the dollar value Of total shipments.
These factors were revealed in an
analysis by the Chamber of Commerce.
Of the United States, showing Is out
of SO leading items were purchased In
larger quantities than last year. Agri-
cultural products figured prominently.
The commodities cited in the cham
ber's report, with the percentage OF
increase, were: Unmanufactured cotton,
per cent; furs, 3; leaf tobacco, 2; fresh
apples, 1873; oranges, IA; canned fruit,
ii: rice, IL: prunes, 1872; barley, Is;
grapefruit. So: raisins, S; inedible AMI
NAL oils and greases, 80; old and scrap
copper, 234; radio receiving sets, 101;
camera films, OIL, and broad silk, /.
Three of these exports increased in
value as well as volume, namely, apples,
lib per cent; oranges, rs, and prunes,
10.
These increases, the chamber said,
are all the more significant when 1t Is
considered that the total value of Amer
lean exports was 81 ,333, 000, 900 during
the period. Falling prices were respon-
sible to a considerable extent for the
decline, as the total quantity of exports,
it is estimated, declined only % per
cent.
The first 10 items in export trade
during the first half were, in order,
manufactured cotton, automobiles and
parts, gasoline and naphtha, leaf to-
bacco, agricultural machinery, electrical
machinery and apparatus, lubricating
oil. coal, lard and refined copper.
Heavy decreases were registered by
most of the exports of foodstuffs, some
fruits, however, being notable. excep-
ton Exports of wheat totaled 20, $780,
900 bushels, the smallest amount for q
similar period in years and 36 per cent
below 1880 and 35 per cent less than
the average for the last five years. In
value the total was So per cent less
than year ago and SO per cent less
than the flve-year average.
Import figures, as weighed by the
chamber, for the same period showed
corresponding trends. Value for the six
months totaled $1,107, 100000, or 1862
per cent smaller than last year, 1t
was held noteworthy that the rate Of
decline of imports on dollar basis was
about the same as export trade.
A weakening of commodity prices was
held q major factor in the increase in
total value Of imports. The average
price level, it was estimated, was "a per
cent lower thanA year ago. The guam
tity of merchandise imported dropped
of about Is per cent.

ORDERS FOR LUMBER

tive week exceeded the curtailed volume
OF production, 1t is indicated in tele-
graphic reports of $50 leading hard
wood and softwood mills for the week

Lumber Manufacturers Association.
These gave their total production as
1877, 460 900 feet, with orders per cent

this figure. A week earlier 845 mills
reported orters 8 per cent above and
shipments IA per cent above total

per cent less than for the week in
1880; for hardwoods, 23l mills, pro-
duction 20 per cent less, shipments Is

under the volume for the week q year

Grain Market
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 28-Grains
showed an. early downward trend today,
affected by instability of sterling.
Sweden and Norway's abandonment of
gold standard was also construed as
bearish.
Opening unchanged to q scent off,
wheat afterward sagged further. Corn
started H-k down and subsequently
underwent an additional sag.
Adding to the bearish influence Of
foreign exchange was announcement
that the official estimate of the Hun
garian wheat crop was now 1880, 900
bushels, against earlier estimates of
65,036,000. A detailed report which at
tracted much attention showed that the
average price OF wheat at 500 shipping
points in the United States last week
was 37.1 cents bushel, compared with
SO cents year ago, and that the aver
age price at Canadian stations was
1872, against $50. North Dakota, Kan
saS and Ohio prices, representing re-
spectively Spring wheat, hard Winter
and soft Winter wheat, indicated that
hard Winter prices had been cut more
than those of Spring wheat or soft
Winter.
Liberal receipts of corn in Chicago
acted as a weight on values, and so
TOO did favorable weather for field work.
Chicago arrivals were 1873 cars, sur
passing the figures both of a week and
year ago. Receipts of corn at other
primary markets, however, were rela-
lively small, $4,000 bushels, compared
with $4,000 on the corresponding day
last week and 100000 at this time last
year Oats were easy, influenced by
corn and wheat.
Provisions lacked support.

NEW YORK, September 2s.-After
