THE FALL IN SILVER AND PRICES IN JAPAN,
At the annual meeting of the Yokohama Chamber of Commiereo Mr. W. D. WALTER sar Chairman, the members of the Chamber of Commerce have reason to be in debted to you for the very full roport jou have just road. It is satisfactory to see that there bas hoon a considerable increase in trage during the past year, an inemoase which we may hop to see become greater as time goes on. There is one point, however, left untouched, which I wish to notice with regard to what he tucing plare in the cost of production of articles manu Feetured in th's coun ry. Much Las by n said at home zal in talous quarters, especially by well. known bimetallists, that. articles product in the Bust maintin very much the sauny price ad they did years ago before the fall in silver. Now it is the experience of us all that in almcat of production, and of labour in un ways lines very article produced in this country the sest greaty increased. Let us take vae of the chief staplesofthe country-rice, the price of which has a great deal to do with fixing the cost of living We have seen the price of rice double itself in a very short period. It is not very many years age that Une price or Tits Teexport stood at 2.20 yen to 230 yen per picul, Today it in about four yen por pical. The pries of labour has a very emily doubled and we find a The sinilor rise in all articles of common va stant of living generally has increased by 25 to 30 per cent. I think, considering how much has been said and written on this subject, that it may be useful to point out the uloviga that is taking place in Japan and donhtloss in other Eastorn conarins. * (Applause).
.#
The CHAIRMAX-it was at first intended to embody some remarks on this sabject in, the roport, but on further consideration it was thought advisable to defer any comments until were particulars are obtainable. There is no doubt that it is a matter of great importance and one that will occupy the Chamber's atten dion on a fature oopasion. The rise in wages has hardly hul tims to make ite effecta fully falt au production. In regard to raw silk it is vot improbable that it will reduce the provinc tion. The matter will have the attention of the ingenting Committee.

Now it is beyond question that prices have greatly risen in Japan, and it sees to us equally certain that the appreciation of gold, by encouraging exports, giving the Japanese producer a larger price for his staples, and thereby increasing the general prosperity of the nation, has contributed raise the scale of living, or, in other words, to enhance the price of counodities. But there have been so many other powerful factors at. work that to differentiate their effects, to determine how much of the appreciation of the market pricas of coinraeditios is due to them, how much to the rednost purchasing power of silver, is an almost hopolessly diff cult problem.
