Bureau of Statistics tables reveal the share of imports arriving free of duty and a notable rise in non dutyable food imports. The report pairs March and April customs receipts with previous years to illustrate increased overall imports and highlights gaps where non dutyable goods data are not fully reflected in receipts.
Business Briefs Highlight Trade, Exports and Finance
Export totals rose last week surpassing ten thousand dollars. Edison General Electric reports a net profit rise of fifty thousand six hundred seven dollars. March manufacturing exports up 2.8 percent. Coffee crop expected at eighty seven hundred thousand bushels with stable retail prices. Wall Street optimism linked to Dingley tariff passage. Western Union reports only five million dollars of stock held by Wall Street brokers. Boston port wool receipts set record at sixty thousand bales valued around two point seven four million dollars. Trade balance shows export surplus briefly in 18, but January through April 20 period records an import excess of over fourteen million dollars. Gold reserves appear ample. New York banks hold substantial gold in clearing houses.
