November exports, a total of 164,429 revenue tons, show an increase over the preceding month. The 1935 36 sugar crop movement was very small, with 16,506 tons to the United States and 200 tons to China. This movement to China is a new development. Slight increases are shown in lumber and logs, copra cake and meal, and coconut oil, but hemp shipments were small and copra shipments ■only half those of October. Lumber and log shipments amounted to 6,400,000 board feet, with increases to Oriental, United States, and African ports, and decreases to Europe and Australia. Copra cake and meal shipments amounted to 11,110 tons, a slight increase both to the United States and to Europe. Coconut oil shipments to the United States amounted to 18,474 tons, compared with 11,541 during October. The hemp shipment of 115,148 bales is 16,000 bales less than the October shipment, •with the United States trade slightly larger and Japan and European trade very dull. A big slump in major emmodities Is registered in the •copra trade. Only 16,662 tons moved, all markets except Istamboul taking but 50 per ■cent as compared with October. Cigars, rope, desiccated coconut, embroideries, empty containers, kapok, canned pineapple, rubber, cutch, and vegetable oil products show ■decreases. Tobacco . shipments amounted to only 2,360 tons as compared to 7,693 tons in October. Alcohol, buntal fiber, furniture, gums and junk increased slightly. One item is noted, a shipment of 100 tons of coconut shell charcoal to Europe. Passenger traffic for the month of November continued fairly steady, total carryings being practically the same as for November 1934. The following figures show the number of passengers departing from the Philippines during November 1935: InterChina and Japan......................... 83 99 156 Honolulu...................................... 6 1 4 Pacific Coast............................... 30 23 7 Furopo via Amoric i 0 Straits Settlements* and Dutch East Indies............................... 37 1 0 Europe and Mediterranean Ports beyond Colombo..................... 17 11 0 Australia....................................... 3 0 0 America via Suez........................ 6 0 0 Round the World....................... 0 0 0 Total for November, 1935.......... 182 135 167 Total for November, 1934.......... 200 144 215 No dust or cinders-drafts eliminated-tem perature and humidity controlled to exactly the right degree for genuine comfort, no mat ter what the weather outside.
