Thoy show that exports for the month were valued at $570,000,000 compared with 9920,000,000 in June, a drop of about 35 per cent, Imports for the month increased $52,000,000, so the balance of trade in favor of this country was approximately $400,000,000 leas than in June, “ While it would not be correct to say that the drop in foreign exchange was solely responsible for this de- crease, yet it was undoubtedly the main factor, Trade authorities pre- dict that figures for the current month will show another large de- crease. Attention has been directed in this column to the gradual depreciation in bond price, This, too, is largely due to the drop in foreign exchange. Yes- terday, the average price of forty representative linted bonds made their daily new low price for the year. Burope has become a steady seller of our bonds, They wish to take advantage of an extraordinarily favorable exchange rate. English exchange, for instance, has depreciated 15 per cent.
