Government officials report a steady improvement in foreign trade during the months of May, June and July, and predict that the Administration's abandon- ment of further dollar devalus- tion will accelerate recovery.

It is pointed out as a sign of improving conditions throughout the world that trame through the Panama Canal, the St. Lawrence- Waterway and the Suez' 'Canal far exceeded the traffic in last June.

American customs receipts in the last twenty-seven days of July were the highest for eight months, amounting to US: $206,252,205 as compared with G.$18,940,046 dur- ing the same period of last year.
