The September surplus also put the country's trade for the first nine months of the year into a surplus by $153 million, compared with a deficit at the same time a year earlier of just over $4.8 billion.

The figures indicated the United States has a good chance of recording a trade surplus this year following deficits of billion in 1972 and $2 billion in 1971.
