EXPORT TRADE BY COMMODITY


The Bureau of the Census, Department of Comerce, announced
today that the decrease in United States exports of domestic mer-
handise from $1,777.7 million in December to $1,618.7 million
in eaumary, a drop of about nine percent, reflected decreases in
parts of all of the economic classes of commodities. The Jan-
uary 1961 domestic merchandise export total was about five per-
cent higher than the January 1960 total of $1,543.2 million.
'These figures include data on M.S.P. (military) shipments.

With M.S.P. (military) shipments excluded, exports of domes-
tie merchandise were valued at $1,510.8 million1 in January, a
level about 12 percent lower than the December 1960 total of
1,7i24.4 million but about three percent higher than the January
1960 total of $1,465.5 million

Exports of crude materials fell from $287.0 million in
December to $236.3 million in January largely as a result of sub-
stantial decreases in exports of oilseeds from $48.1 to $21.6
m llian and manufactured tobacco, from $33.8 to $16.7 million;
and lesser decreases in exports of unmanufactured cotton, from
134.7 to $130.4 million and coal, from $23.1 to $19.1 million.
Exports of finished manufactures dropped considerably from $947.6

EXPLANATION

COVEURC: Export statistics include government as well as
no-government shipments to foreign countries. The export sta-
tistics, therefore, include Mutual Security Program military
aid, MUtual Security Program ecoanaic aid and Department of the
Aniy Civilian Supply shipments. Separate figures for Mutual
Security Program military aid are shown in the footnotes of this
report. Shipments to United States armed farces and diplomatic
missions abroad for their own use are excluded from export sta-
tistios. United States trade with Puerto Rico and United States
possession s 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.
SVATLUTION: 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 sold) and includes inland freight, insurance, and other
charges to the port of exportation. Transportation and other
costs beyond the United States port of exportation are excluded.
boever, in some instances the valuation may not be reported in
accordance with this definition, particularly where the export
value is difficult to determine or must be estimated. None of
the values have been adjusted for changes in price level.


to $902.6 million reflecting in part decreases in exports of most
of the leading commodities included in this economic class. The
:more notable of these decreases were as follows: aircraft, parts
and accessories, from $89.3 to $79.3 million; metalworking
machines and parts, except machine tools and parts, from $17.5
to $9.8 million; commercial motor trucks and busses, from $25.3
to $19.2 million; railway transportation equipment, from $15.8
to $10.4 million; machine tools and parts, from $28.9 to $24.7
million; and metal manufactures, from $32.9 to $28.8 million.
However, exports of ammunition, components and parts, also in-
cluded in this economic class, increased from $8.0 to $50.8
million.

The drop in exports of semimanufactures from $292.7 to
$258.2 million was primarily due to lower levels of exports of
individual commodities included in this economic class as fol-
lows: industrial chemicals, from $24.1 to $19.0 million; iron
and steel plates, sheets and strips, from $17.1 to $12.1 mil-
lion; aluminum semimanufactures, from $16.8 to $11.9 million;
crude vegetable oils and fats, from $13.1 to $9.0 million and
coal-tar and other cyclic chemical products, from $14.7 to
$11.5 million. Decreases in exports of wheat flour, from
$14.2 to $7.9 million and milled rice, from $16.4 to $13.0
million were mainly responsible for the drop in exports of
manufactured foodstuffs from $106.2 to $89.0 million. The
decrease in exports of crude foodstuffs from $144.1 to $132.6
million was largely due to a drop in exports of corn from
$35.0 to $24.4 million and "other grains" from $18.4 to $12.0
million. These decrag e partly offset by an increase
in exports to $78.5 million.

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 variability 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
