NEW ZEALAND TRADE RETURNS. FIGURES FOR APRIL. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Higher values of exports and a definite decrease in imports are shown in the overseas trade returns for April, issued yesterday by the Customs Department. The balance of exports over imports shows a marked improvement. Exports during April were valued at £4,933,000 compared with £4,547,000 for the corresponding month of last year, an increase of £386,000.

Imports last month were valued at £3,777,000, as against £4,455,000 for April, 1938, a decrease of £678,000. Last month’s imports were £579,000 below the figure of £4,356,000 shown for March. Figures for 10 months of the production year, which extends from July to June, show a decrease of £3,667,000 in exports, compared with the corresponding period of 1937-38 and a decrease of £3,812,000 in imports.
