CHINA OVERLAND TRADE REPORT.
market, the export of Rice considerably ex- ceeded that of the same month last year. Raw Cotton heads the list of imports, and is also first in point of importance, being valued last month at Yen 5,716,686, against Yen 3,331,611 for August last year. Rice still continues to come into the country in large quantities, the value imported being slightly in excess of four millions, the exact figures for last month being Yen 4,272,548, contrasted with the value of Yen 988,026 imported in August 1902. It will be seen that the quantity of Bar and Rod Iron and Other Iron and Steel brought into this country has increased by nearly 100 per cent. Woollens and Worsteds show,good increases, while Mousselines, Italian Cloths, and Flannels have fallen off. The value of Brown and White Sugar imported | during last month was Yen 2,764,310, against Yen 1,649,266 in August last year. A small increase is recorded in Kerosene Oil. The total value of Exports for the first eight months of the year amounts to Yen 179,549,402, against Yen 151,073,133 for the same period last year. Imports for the eight months reach a value of Yen 225,594,222, against Yen 174,120.887 for the corresponding period of 1902. The excess of Imports over Exports for the eight months now amounts to Yenˆ 46,044,820, while for the same period last year the excess was only Yen 23,117,554. As pointed out in previous comments, the great bulk of this excess, however, is accounted for by Rice, which was imported to the value of 14.50 Yen 46,247,767 this year, against Yen 6,678,343 for the corresponding period last year.-Kobe Chronicle.

JAPAN'S FOREIGN TRADE.
The aggregate foreign trade of Japan for August this year shows an increase of 50 per cent. above the trade for August of last year, though while there was a slight excess of Exports for August last year, there is this year a small excess of Imports. Under the head of Exports for last month a striking increase is noticeable in Cotton Yarns and Tea, the value of Yarn exported last month being Yen 3,699,689, against Yen 1,297,657, for the corresponding month of last year; and that of Tea being Yen 2,215,227, against Yen 1,438,635 The figures for Raw Silk also show a great increase, the quantity exported being over a million kin, valued at Yen 10,430,087: in the corresponding month of last year the value was three millions less (Yen 7,302,969). The export of Camphor for the month slightly de- clined, the quantity amounting to Yen 237,846 in value. The foregoing figures are the most noticeable features of the Exports headed Mann- factured Articles half wrought. Of Manufactured Articles, Silk Tissues, habutai, form the most important export in point of value, and a sub- stantial increase is recorded, the amount exported being valued at Yen 2,257,150, as against Yen 1,674,289 for August 1902. There are several decreases in the quantity of Manufactured Ar- ticles exported, and the total value of this section cf exports is only slightly in excess of that for August of last Year. In Raw Products the quantity of Coal and Copper exported shows a substantial increase Owing to a drop in the
