GOLD IMPORTS
SLASH TRADE
BALANCE
Confirming indirectly Treasury
figures showing tremendous for
eign purchases of United States
securities and the White House
belief that “hot” foreign money
has played an important role in
the “bull” stock market, the Bu
reau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce today disclosed an im
portant source of foreign purchas
ing power. Bureau figures showed
* balance of trade unfavorable to
the United States by almost 200
million dollars during October and
of well over 1,000 million dollars
during the first 10 months of this
year.
The figures—set forth in the
regular monthly report on foreign
trade—indicated a favorable bal
ance of trade for the United
States as far as imports and ex
ports of merchandise went. These
exports, the bureau stated, were
$284,708,000 for the month, as
compared with imports of $212,-
001,000, leaving a $52,707,000 ex
cess of exports over imports. For
the 10-month period through
October, the favorable balance
amounted to $20,092,000.
But an entirely different com
plexion was given the report by
the inclusion of exports and im
ports of gold and silver.
Imports of the two precious
metals exceeded exports by $245,-
475,000 in October and by $1,157,-
559,000 during the 10-month per
iod. Incorporating these totals
with the merchandise figures, the
unfavorable balance for October
amounted to $192,668,000 and for
the 10 months the excess of im
ports over exports aggregated sl,-
137,467,000.
On the same basis of computa
tion, however, today’s report
showed some improvement over
October, 1935 and the first 10
months of last year.

Time-honored health rules were
shattered today.

lots of sleep, and one has taken
cod liver oil every day for the last
five years.

ROADS IN SOUTH ARE GOOD

scouts report Southern roads in
excellent condition and resorts in
Florida and other vacation spots
anticipating a record-breaking sea
son.
Howell Douglaes, manager of
the touring bureau, and John Ber
ry travel counsellor of the District
Motor Club, have just returned to
Washington with first hand infor
mation from the South. They re-
port only five mil s of construc
tion in their drive over the four
major routes below the Mason-
Dixon line.
The greatest hazard they experi
enced, they said, was from a wide
variety of animals found along the
roads in southern Georgia and
northern Florida. They reported
seeing cows, dogs, pigs and goats
as well as snakes, swamp birds,
turtles, alligator and other wild
animals.
