January EXPORTS
SHOW BIG GAIN
U. S. Sells More Goods and
Buys Less From All
Sections of World.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The United States sold more goods
to and bought less goods from every
section of the world in January than
IN the same month last year.
The Commerce Department said to-
day January exports totaled S289, ,437,-
600, compared with 1922, ,665 900 in
January. 1887. Imports dropped
from s24O,252 900 to s17O, 1853, 900.
The departments monthly report
also showed for the first time how
trade was divided between countries
with which the United States has
reciprocal trade agreements and
those countries without agreements
The innovation was prompted by
popular interest in the new agreement
with Czechoslovakia and the pending
negotiations with Great Britain.
Compared with the same month
last year, January exports to agree
ment countries increased from $751;
$4,000 to s97,813,O0O, while exports
to non-agreement countries increased
from $140,979, 900 to S191 $4,000. I'm
ports from agreement countries de-
creased from $97. .609, 900 to $74,122 900,
and imports from non-agreement
countries dropped from S142,843, 900
to s96,641,0 900.
The United Kingdom, largest Amer
ican customer, increased its January
purchases from $35, 1858 900 to S62,-
$4,000, while reducing its sales to
America from $18.4O0,OO0 to SO, 572, 900.
France was one of the few major
countries to buy less goods in the
United States in January than in the
same month last year. while Czecho-
slovakia was one of the few to sell
more here this year than last year.
Even war-torn China boosted its
American purchases from $6,6l9,0O0
to $7,900,000. Japan, however, re-
duced its purchases from $22, 1868 900
to $20,410,000. Both countries sold
less to the United States. Chinese
sales fell from $6,883,000 to $4,507, 1000.
japanese sales declined from ST.
683,000 to $11,496, 900.

NEW YORK, March 10.-Early ral-

Wall Street was still depressed b.
the Whitney brokerage house collapse.
but it was believed no important SELL
ing was inspired by this development
The fear was expressed, though, that
one result might be the Tightening of
the Securities and Exchange Commits
sion grip on securities firms.
Rails took turn for the better in
the morning as the somewhat disap-
pointing freight rate decision was
partly offset by hopes the forthcom-
ing White House conference on trans
portation problems might bring help
for shaky carriers.
Bonds and commodities shifted over
a trendless route. The fall Of the
Chautemps cabinet in France and an
other break of the franc to a new l2-
year low in terms of the dollar tended
to accentuate wariness in the financial
sector.
Favored the greater part Of the
day-some backed away later-were
shares of Southern Railway, Great
Northern, Pennsylvania, Bethlehem
Steel, Youngstown. Crucible, Chrysler.

Dredges biting deep into the bed of
the Chesapeake g. Delaware Canal are
speeding work on the $14,000, 900 deep
sea waterway, with Army engineers
confident most work will be finished
'this summer"
The dredges, midway between the
Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic
Ocean, are adding 6 feet to the depth
of the channel in the -mile-long
canal, already open throughout its
length with 2l-foot channel.
Upon completion of the dredging
only some minor work-cleaning up
and rebutments-wil be required to
end the big job. Army engineers add
there is possibility that a jetty may
have to be extended at the entrance to
the Delaware River.
The canal, shortening the ocean-to-
bay distance by many miles. runs from
deep water in the bay along Elk River
through Chesapeake City and along
the Delaware River to a point near
Delaware City.
