INCREASE Shown
IN FOREIGN TRADE
Both Exports and Imports
for January Ahead of
December Totals.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Both American exports and imports
were shown by Department of Com
merce figures today to have increased
in January over December.
Exports were 8 per cent higher in
January. It was said usually there
Is a decline of per cent between
the two months.
Imports, which had fallen off more
than seasonally in December, ad-
vanced 26 per cent.
| The excess of exports over imports,
the so-called favorable trade balance,
totaled $9,217, 900 in January in COM
parison with S38, All 900 in December
and $36,515,000 in January, 1884.
Exports were valued at $l76, ,223, 900
in January, compared with s17o. o.673.-
900 in December and sta go, 900 in
January, 1884.
Imports aggregated $167, GOT. 900 in
comparison with $132, 2,252,0 in De-
cember and $l35, zoe, 900 in January,
1894.
The export gain during January
resulted largely from an increase IN
shipments Of automobiles and leaf to-
bacco, although larger exports of
lubricating oil, gasoline, automobile
tires, fur skins and lard added to the
total.
In the comparison of the statistics
for January, 1885, with those for the
same month Of 1884" the Commerce
Department said, there appears
further evidence of the trend toward
expansion in exports of manufactured
articles and shrinkage in exports of
agricultural products.

ports, valued at $74,297, 900 in January.
1885, were 428 per cent Of the total
export trade this year, whereas, year
ago the corresponding percentage was
36.2 per cent"
A large proportion Of commodities
shared in the expansion in import
trade during January. Foodstuf i'm
ports increased most, although i'm
ports of many other commodities in
creased substantially.
Total exports for the seven months
ending January, 1885. were sl,273,-
