Invisible Items in
Trade Balances
An interesting analysis of the trale
of America and the world in which
account is taken of so-called invisible
imports and exports was made public
by the Department of Commerce
lust neck. with a review of the ic~
suits by Secretary Hoover. The study
covers the year 1922. and shows that
though the apparent balance in favor
or the United States as represented
by an excess of exports over imports
of goods was about 8754.00044-0.
there was a balance against it with
the invisible factors included or
about 3386.000.000. The first figure
is arrived at by comparing the visible
items comprised in the export of
goods to the amount. roughly. of $3.-
867.000.00i‘, with imports of good!
amounting to 83.113.000.000. The re
were also visible items in the account
comprising imports and exports of
specie. Thus. the exports of coil
amounted to 837.000.1100, and those
of silver to $63,000,000.
total or “00.000.000 exports of
specie. Against these were to be set.
000 000 using round figures. and 0!
silver amounting to $71,000,000 mak—
ing a total ot 8346.000» A com-
parison of these items shows a bai-
nnCa of imports amounting to 8246.-
tit-0.000. This excess of imports of
specie is set down as a partial offset
to the excess in exports of merchan-
disc.
The invisible factors in the show-
ing, as explained by Mr. Hoover,
comprise the movement of capital
and of current items. such as interest
remittances of immigrants. tourist
expenditures abroad. ocean heights.
etc. These items. of course. must be
in large part estimated. and the
Secretary admits that owing to the
fact that many of the tabulated
items are subject to wide variations
of Judgment. the result may be in
error a $150,000,000 either way.
though the figures have been arrived
at after careful examination and co~
operation with well-informed indi-
viduals and institutions. The ten-
dency is. however. in his opinion, for
over and under estimates on oppo-
site sidos of the balance sheet to
neutralize one another. Mr. Hoover
says that we exported capital in the
shape at purchases of foreign securi-
ties. c..tc over and above the impwts
of capital of the same character to
the net amount of about $669 000. 000
in the year 1922 Taking into account
such current invisible items as the
movement of interest. immigrant re—
mittances. tourist expenditure.
abroad. ocean heights, etc.. it is
estimated that citizens of the United
States have sent to or spent in for-
cign countries a net balance of 8425.-
C
the bigcompany acquitted themselves
in the most commendable manner.
“The Leather Pushers" with Re-
ginald Denny served as an added at—
traction on the program and this
week's episode is one of the best
ever presented. The entire bill will
continue. at both houses todav and

Hooch- regards the showing as of

similar study each year. and invites

highly valuable.
Artificial Silk May Save 8m
One of the probable by-eflects o!
the raw silk situation is a substan-
tial increase in the production of
artificial silk lines. the Dry Goods
Economist declares. These have
assumed sn‘lmportsnt place in the
hosiery market during the last ”It
or so. and demand {or them is like-
. iv to be accelerated if the high price
land scarcity of raw sin: puts purol
silk beyoad the reach of the modest
purse. The best grade of artificial
silk is now quoted at $3.75 a pound.
and with the best grade of Japan
. raw silk coating around :1: a pound
lthc dmcrence is obviously very
great.
The out thing that may prevent
an in expansion of the uni
of artificial silk in the hosiery trade
is a scarcity of this product. Not
only hosiery manufacturers. but
manufacturers of crepee. satins. bro,-
cades. \elvets. ribbons. laces. worn-
cn's underwaar and knitted outer
garments are turning more and
more to artificial silk. and will be
forced to turn still more to it. if
there is a serious shortage of the na-
tural product. Naturally the pro-
duction of artificial silk can be ex-
panded to meet a growing demand.
but it could hardiy'bo expanded n-
pidly enough to forestall the situa-
tion growing out of the raw silk
shortage which may be expected to
be at its worst in a month or six
\wcks from now. An! in any case
the producers would hardly expand
their facilities in order to meet
what is. after all. a. temporary situ-
ation. So that while an increased de-
round for artificial silk merchandise
is likely to result from the raw silk
scarcity there is not apt to be any
considerable in crease in the supply
of the former commodity.
