THE BRITISH TRADE TREATY WITH JAPAN.
APPROVAL IN MANCHESTER.
The Manchester Correspondent of a Landon journal states that the vow Treaty has given some satisfaction in Manchester trade eirefon. Tho concessions made in the tariff schedule which it was originally decided to 'imposs on our trade in general have been accepted as a proof that our alliance with Japan in boaring fruit in the field of comparse.
and seems to have been imposed mainly for re venue purposes, but the, fear, had been created that Japan was about to enter on a policy in regard to tinplates which might result in the imposition of a severely protective duty, and as Japan is one of the distant foreign markets in which our tiuplate tmde has made mest progress in recent years it was realised that the loss of that market would mean another serious blow to the staple industry of Swansea)· where the experts to Japan represent some.
