There have been various indications lately of improvement in the foreign trade of Japan. From time to time it has been asked how that country wil fare after the war, and the British

Although many of the changes in Japan induced by the war will tend to disappear on its conclusion, it seem reasonable to suppose that a sub- stantial proportion of the extra trade ob tained will be retained.

Not only have orders been received in abundance from Russia, but there are now greater demands from Chinese Indian and other Eastern markets for Japanese goods of i misellaneous character. I appears, too, that Australia, in addition to other orders, is now receiving matches from Japan insead of from Sweden. In zine refining thy freedom from competi| tion has led to marked development of business, the high price of zine having placed the industry in a strong position.

of hibitive prices for aniline dyes the posi- tion has improved with the assistance of the Government, and the demands from China and India for cotton ya with piece-goods and hosiery have developed substantially during this year.

A GERMAN STEEL FEDERATION.
The German papers are speculating on the position that the iron and steel in- dustries of that country will occupy after the war. It will be necessary, it is stated, to face the question of effectively developing the trade of Germany in for- eign markete, and the country pins its faith to the assistance of syndicates to accomplish nat end. During the past summer negotiations were energetically pursued to establish a basis for the firm control of all kinds of steel products, and-after various modifications--it was. decided to form a "German Steel Foder- tion." The chief object of such an organization is to exercise a general con- trol and to attend to the formation of
further syndicates in the German steat industry,
