/, S,# --, [j~ /1 C 3/ U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Luther H. Hodges. Secretary UNITED STATES FOREIGN TRADE BUREAU OF THE CENSUS RSthord M. Scomnmon. Director SUMMARY REPORT FT 930-E APRIL 1961 EXPORT TRADE BY COMMODITY The Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, announced today that the decrease in United States exports of domestic merchandise from $1,903.7 million in March to $1,687.5 million in April, a drop of about 11 percent, reflected decreases in exports of all the economic classes of commodities. The April 1961 domestic merchandise export total was about six percent lower than the April 1960 total of $1,800.8 million. These figures include data on M.S.P. (military) shipments. With M.S.P. (military) shipments excluded, exports of domestic merchandise were valued at $1,629.0 million in April1, about 12 percent below the March total of $1,858.6 million and about three percent lower than the April 1960 total of $1,686.1 million. Exports of finished manufactures fell from $1,096.3 million in March tc u.4 r i n r. April reflecting decreases in exports of individual commodities included in this economic class as follows: aircraft, parts and acces- sories, from $113.6 to $98.5 million; passenger cars, from $. ...0 to $17.6 million; office, accounting, and computing machines and parts, from $32.1 to $26.1 million; automobile parts for assembly and replacement, from $53.2 to $47.2 iSee the April 1961 issue of Report No. FT 900-E for the seasonally- adjusted figures on total exports, excluding M.S.P. (military) shipmates. Seasoeally-adjusted data are not available on a ccsmnodity basis. million; construction, excavating mining, oil field, and related machinery, from $70.8 to $65.3 million; and railway transportation equipment, from $20.3 to $14.9 million. The drop in exports of crude materials from $224.8 to $187.4 million was mainly the result of a noticeable decrease in exports of unmanufactured cotton from $113.6 to $79.8 million. During the period, exports of semimanufacttures fell from $299.9 to $266.2 million owing r.- :",. iwer levels of exports of individual commodities included in this economic class as follows: copper semimanufactures, from $38.1 to $22.9 million; plastics and resin materials, from $26.0 to S20.7 million; iron and steel plates, sheets and strips, from 15.4 to $11.4 million; industrial chemicals, from $26.4 to $22.6 million; and synthetic rubber, from $16.6 to $13.3 million. However, exports of crude vegetable oils and fats, also included in this economic class, rose from $3.4 to $11.3 million. Decreases in exports of wheat from $106.1 to $84.7 million, and corn from $37.9 to $31.4 million were the chief factors in the drop in exports of crude foodstuffs from $177.2 to $153.9 million. Exports of manufactured foodstuffs fell from $105.6 to $88.5 million largely due to decreases in exports of wheat flour, from $14.8 to $9.5 million, and manufactured foodstuffs for relief or charity, from $17.0 to $13.0 million. These decreases were partly offset, however, by an increase in exports of refined vegetable oils, fats and waxes, from $3.1 to $8.7 million. EXPLANATION OF STATISTICS COVERAGE: Export statistics include government as well as non-government shipments to foreign countries. The export sta- tistics, therefore, include Mutual Security Program military aid, Mutual Security Program economic aid and Department of the Army Civilian Supply shipments. Separate figures for Mutual Security Program military aid are shown in the footnotes of this report. Shipments to United States armed forces and diplomatic missions abroad for their own use are excluded from export sta- tistics. United States trade with Puerto Rico and United States possessions is not included in this report, but the export trade of Puerto Rico with foreign countries is included as a part of the United States export trade. Merchandise shipped in transit through the United States between foreign countries is not in- cluded in export statistics. VALUATION: The valuation definition used in the export statistics is the value at the seaport, border point, or air- port of exportation. It is based on the selling price (or cost if not so des inland freight, insurance, and other charge ortation. Transportation and other cot 0 n,. tes port of exportation are excluded. fHu .Fsome ins e e valuation may not be reported in a e with this de fC, particularly where the export F difficult to de q or must be estimated. None of 1. le.: have been adj utS or changes in price level. EFFECT OF SAMPLING: The value of export shipments individ- ually valued at $100-$499 (about five percent of total export value) is estimated by sampling. Effective with the statistics for January 1960, the previous sample ratio of 10 percent has been increased to a 50 percent sample for countries other than Canada with the 10 percent sample being retained for Canada. The estimated values are distributed among the individual com- modity totals. For the 1960 export figures in this report, the probable variaitility due to sampling is less than $50,000 or less than a trivial percentage which can be ignored. For pe- riods prior to 1960, the probable variability due to sampling is less than $50,000 or less than two percent of the individual totals shown. The largest variation from rounding of figures is $50,000. For further information regarding sampling pro- cedures, see the September 1953, February 1954, January and June 1956, and the October-December 1959 issues of Foreign Trade Statistics Notes. Further information regarding coverage, valuation, etc., is contained in the "General Explanation" in foreword of Report No. FT 410.
