DOMINION EXPORTS AND IMPORTS
OVERSEAS TRADE INCREASES The impont and export trade of the Dominion in the first six months of 1942 shows a noticeable increase compared with the trade of the corresponding period of last year, according to the Monthly Abstract of Statistics issued by the Census and Statistics Department. Exports are up bv £6,559,738, while imports have risen by £2,210,976, so that the movement of trade balance is more favourable to New Zealand by £4,348,762. The Dominion’s credit balance for the six months this year is £18,949,120. Exports for the month of June, 1942, at £11,025,708, were the highest value ever reached by the Dominion in any month, while imports for June, £3,702,323, were the highest value since January, 1921. It should be noted, however, that the prices now received for the Dominion’s products in the world markets are increased compared with pre-wir years, so that value figures do net, and cannot, form any guide to quan tities of goods exported, and the same can be said to apply to goods imported.
