leaving an unfavorable balance of trade of $15085000 for the month It was the second successive month an unfavorable balance Howwas reported ever compared with the 1935 month exports were up 3 per cent and Imports up 9 per cent' The unfavorable balance was regarded by Secretary of Commerce Roper as convincing proof of economic recovery in the United States because nearly half the increase in imports over last year in dollar volume was accounted for by luxury items such as furs and whisky and commodities not extensively produced in this country such as paper nickel and tin The increase in exports over July 1935 consisted chiefly of finished and articles including machinery electrical apparatus aircraft iron and steel manufactures and inedible vegetable products If " —ci A UTAH BLANTON
