Japan has 2,00,000 tons of steamers, and when other craft are taken into account, the the total tonnage of the Japan'a mer cantile marine is abest 2.700,000 tons.

That the development of the industry is proving of immense value to a blockaded Germany is beyond doubt, bus judged by the analyses of samples that have reached this country, paper yarn is a very poor substitute for the woollen or cotton article, and the industry is not likely to have the future predicted for it in Germamples referred
