Gtatisties for January just pub- lished by the Board of Trade show that a general rise has been noted | in exports and imports. Tmmports for January are valued at 0,320,725 indicating an in- crease of $73,061,275 compared with December and of $78,362,860 com- pared with the previous January. Exports showed a total value of $334,398,035, a rise of $32426,390 over December returns and $35,- 684,370 over the figures of January 1928 The grand total has been exceed- ed only once during the past two years, in November, 1927. Raw cotton and waste cotton are prominent items in the list of in- creased imports, showing an ad- vance of $35,061,000 over the pre- vious Jaruary. This suggests a possible pick-up in the Lancashire cotton spinning industry. marked increases over last Janu- ary are: drfink, $18,183825; meat, $5,971,245; grain and flour, $5,832465. Whereas food and raw materials make the greatest showing on the imports list, British articles wholly or partly manufactured in Great Britain account for $27,771,790 on the increased export list. The out- standing increases are in vehicles (including locomotives, ships and aircraft), $8,115,995; iron and steel and manufacturers, thereof, $5,518,- 470; tures, $3,064,500. The forward and upward trend of | trade is general, however, only two of 20 classifications showing de- creases over January of last year. Coal shows an advance of $2,007,~ 900, the increase in tonnage being 567,931, non-dutiable food and! cotton yarns and manufac-| succeeds Edward P.
