AUSTRIA’S WANING TRADE.
In the value of Austria’s trade there was an estimated contraction of or over 50 per cent., during the earlier half of the current year. The greatest fallingoff in raw materials occurred in grain, seeds, cattle, hides, and skins, materials for the textile industries, and coal. Among semimanufactured goods, cotton yarns alone showed an increase. Under manufactured articles the fallingoit was general, but it was most marked in machines, textiles, articles of dress, rubber goods, instruments, and watches, vehicles, iron, metal goods and mineral oils. The exports of wholly manufactured goods declined about 60 per cent., as compared with the first six months of I9t4> decreases being especially marke in refined sugar, textiles, and articles of dress, wooden goods,
leather, glass, iron and industrial metals, machines, chemicals, and paper wares. Under the heading of semi-manufactured goods there were decreases generally, but more especially in yarns, leather, wood (partly worked up), and fats. The decreases in the exports of raw materials were chiefly in cattle and animal products, such as hides, skins, eggs, and feathers, and in undressed timber, mineral fuel, and taw wool.
