By the Associated Press. April gains in both exports and im ports—the fourth consecutive month to show increases over last year—were reported today by the Commerce De partment. Imports Increased more than exports, however, to produce an April import surplus of (8,947,000. It was the third successive month in which the United States has bought more than it has sold. The run o( heavier buying resulted In an import surplus of (12.414,000 for the first four months of the year, against an export surplus of (21,229,000 in the first third of 1935. Compared with April of last year, ex ports last month were 18 per cent and imports 19 per cent larger. For the first four months of this year, com pared with the same in 1935, exports gained 12 per cent and imports 17 per cent. April exports, which usually drop 6 per cent from March, were only 1 per cent smaller this year, while imports, which normally recede about 3 per cent, were 2 per cent larger. April exports were $193,490,000. against im ports of $202,437,000. In April, 1935, exports were $164, 151.000 and imports $170,500,000, The Commerce Department noted that while exports of a fewr agricul tural products had continued to run behind last year, “a wide range of such exports have shown substantial improvements.” Cotton exports increased from $21, 796.000 to $22,764,000; tobacco ex ports went up from $3,955,000 to $5. 747,000. Exports of fodders and feed, vegetables and preparations, fruits and nuts and lard, were other farm products to show gains. Most of the larger export gains, however, were tn non-agricultural products, including petroleum, metal manufactures, machmery, electrical apparatus, chemical products and tex tile manufactures. The increase in imports over April last year was due chiefly to gains in cane sugar, cured rubber, hides and skins, furs, unmanufactured wool, paper base stocks, lumber, cocoa and whisky and other spirits.

By tfcc Associated Press. NEW YORK. May 22.—Indications of a renewal of the forward move ment of trade were disclosed today In the weekly review by Dun & B-ad street. ‘‘Checking what had appeared to be the commencement of a seasonal slackening, there was a resumption of the forward movement In many trade branches during the week." it was stated. "The steady expansion of consumer buying, in spite of the cool weather in some sections, was accompanied by more evenness in the gain in retail sales for the various districts of the country. Records Increase. "Buying at wholesale was at a more active pace, complemented by the growing volume of records for early Summer goods. Instead oi extending the recent gradual recession, indus trial operations turned upward in many divisions. * * * “Higher temperatures whicn pre vailed during most of the week ac celerated retail distribution, with the heterogeneous demands benefiting nearly all departments. • • * “Although virtually all of the cities reported a rise in distribution from that of the week preceding, the per centage gain over last year's was shortened, in some instances, giving greater uniformity for all districts. Taking the country as a ^hole, how ever, the estimated volume of retail sales was more than the 1935 com parative by 8 to 12 per cent." Sharp Gain Anticipated. Based on orders which have been received by principal wholesale houses, a heavier buying season is indicated for early Summer than in several years, it was stated. “In many (wholesale) branches buying thus far In May has been at the best rate for the month since 1930.” the review found, “witn the increase in some items running up to 25 to 30 per cent cover last year’s bookings."
