ITALIAN TRADE WITH CHINA

Principal Imports Of Art Silk Floss And Yarn

INTERESTING STATISTICS SHOWN

The eyes of the world have been focussed upon Italy in con.. sequence of the war against Abyɛsinia and the dimculties that have arisen through the impcaltion of sanctions by the member. states. of the League of Nations.

It is not gencrally realized that the trade of Italy with China is of considerable importance to this country, but a glance at the Customs Returns will show that Italy in 1934 ranked thirteenth among the countries Importing goods into China, with a tota. value of $12.462.326, and fourteenth on the list of countries to whom exports are made, with a total of $3,442,571.

As the following table will show, the principal imports from taly consist of artificial, silk floss and yarn, cigarette paper, woo len plece, goods and other textile products, the most noticeable ad- vance in imports being in cigarette paper. It is unfortunate, that e monthly Customs Returns from which these figures were com piled make it impossible to analyse the tremendous increase in “other articles" which, for the period under review, January-October, 1935. jumped in value from $440,142 for 1934 (January-October) to $2.- 542,504.

It is interesting to find that whereas aeroplanes to the value of $217,630 were imported from Italy in 1933 (January-October) rone have been imported this year.

Exports to tacy have shown an encouraging increase, for the period under review, practically doubling the agire for 1834 (Jan- uary-October). This is almost entirely due to the very heavy ship- ments of shelled groundnuts and seramum Beeds, which showed an increase from $417,645 in 1934 (January-October) to $3,190,222, and shelled groundnuts, which increased from $169,410 in 1934 (January- October) to $1,511,888. Apart from the foregoing, the most import- ant exports to Italy consist of silk and silk cocoons, groundnuts in shell, antimony and wood oll." Detans of exports are given below:
