Exports Down 11 Per Cent in First Six Months of 1939 European Purchases Of Farm Products Drop Sharply By the Aisocl&tcd Preu. Secretary of Commerce Hopkins said today a sharp reduction m European purchases of United States farm products was primarily responsible for an 11 per cent de cline In American exports during the first six months of this year, compared with the same period last year. Imports increased 14 per cent. Secretary Hoptcins said this was ac counted for by greater American purchases of crude materials ana semi-manulactures. The value of American exports to all countries, Including re-exports, totaled $1,415,427,000. compared with $1,590,788,000 during the first half of last year. Imports were valued at $1,094,563,000. against $960,955,000 in the comparable 1938 period. Exports to Britain Down. Exports to the United Kingdom, principal market for American agri cultural products, declined 10 per cent in value during the six-month period, the department said, while agricultural shipments decreased considerably, it continued, exports of finished manufactures to the King dom increased in value. At the same time imports from the United Kingdom increased 41 per cent, due in large part, the de partment reported, to increased re ceipts of rayon filaments, tin and platinum. The slump in grain exports was pronounced, such shipments being valued at less than $40,000,000 in the first six months of this year, com pared with more than $120,000,000 in the 1938 period. Increased purchases of wool, hides and skins helped swell the import total. Imports from Argentina in creased 48 per cent, from British South Africa 51 per cent and from Australia 98 per cent. Latin American Sales Drop. Exports to Latin America—especi ally Argentina. Chile and Cuba— were smaller during the first four or five months, but showed improve ment in most cases after that time. Japan bought more manufactured articles, but this increase was more than offset by reductions In pur chases of raw cotton and crude pe troleum, the department said. Ex ports to Japan of copper, steel scrap, metal working machinery, gasoline and lubricating oil Increased In value. The value of imports from Japan increased 5 per cent, but the department said this was due chiefly to increased prices for raw silk. The department said the decline in exports to the Netherlands. Bel gium. Ireland and Germans', which were important buyers of American grain last year, was in each instance sharper than the general decrease in the total eocport trade of the United States. Lumber Orders Rise Reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association yester day showed new orders in the week ended July 29 were 24 per cent greater than last year's seasonal average. Production was 19 per cent and shipments 13 per cent greater than last year. Curb Market DOMESTIC ., _ High.
