the first quarter than a year
earlier, as did Mexico.
Exports of soybeans to the
PRC for the full fiscal year
may not be as large as
originally anticipated,
however, because of a
somewhat better Chinese
harvest.
Tobacco exports, including
bulk smoking, of 144 million
pounds were about the same
as a year earlier. However,
the higher prices pushed the
value up by 7 percent. The
decline of 7.5 million pounds
of flue-cured tobacco was
about offset in gains of dark-

economic activity in major
markets and somewhat
larger foreign production in
1974. Tight world supplies of
quality tobacco, a larger
U.S. crop, and gains In
foreign per capita smoking
all contributed to the high
level of U.S. exports.
U.S. cotton exports totaled
about 812,000 running bales,
down 17 percent from 985,000
bales In the first quarter of
fiscal 1974. Value, however,
jumped 36 percent to $217
million. Smaller shipments
to Taiwan, Thailand, the
Philippines, and South Korea
more than offset the larger
ones to Japan, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Indonesia, and
Bangladesh, Exports to
Western Europe continued to
be at the sharply reduced
level of a year earlier.
Foreign demand for cotton
is weak because of the world
slowdown in textile activities
in major U.S. markets and
large cotton inventories
outside the United States.
Export value of frulU and
preparations rose about one
seventh because of increases
in exports of fresh fruits,
citrus fruits, dried fruits,
and fruit juices. Canned

fruits, however, were down
by around one-third in value.
Large U.S. crops and high
prices in foreign markets
have encouraged U.S. ex
ports during the current
year.
Canada is the largest
foreign outlet for U.S. fruits,
accounting for about half of
the toal. Exports also In
creased to Europe, the
Middle East, and Japan.
Exports of vegetables and
preparations rose by nearly
a third to reach a record
level of $lO4 million. Much of
the gain was accounted for
by increased exports of dry
edible beans. A larger U.S.
crop and continued strong
foreign demand have
stimulated exports during
the current year.
Exports of live animals
and animal products rose in
value by nearly one-fifth to a
record $4Ol million. Animal
fats, greases, and oils •
especially inedible tallow -
accounted for much of the
increase. Prices of inedible
tallow were up sharply.
Increases also were
registered for hides and
skins and dairy and poultry
products. But the number of
live animals exported was
down sharply from a year
earlier.
The decline reflects the
embargo by Canada of cattle
and meat from cattle fed
with diethylstilbestrol
(DES). In addition, Canada
also used quotas to restrict
imports of beef, eggs, and
turkeys. Japan and the EC
have restricted imports of
beef which also account for
the decline in U.S. beef
exports to these areas. The
EC has raised sup
plementary levies on poultry
to a magnitude where it is
nearly impossible for U.S.
producers to compete in this
market.
