In the coame of a recent report the United States Coarul-General GeoE Anderson says the full scope and volume of the tobacco industry and trade of Hongkong is not generally understood; in fact, it has not bean fully appreciated in Hongkong itself until recently. The publication of the trade statistics of the Colony for the first 'x months of 1919 gives definite figures for the value of the trade for the first time, and is illuminating. The statistics point to a total value of the exorts of prepared and ather tobacco from the Colony" for 1319 of almost, if not quite, 312,000,000 gold. The imports will reach a value of nearly, if not quite 10 $4,000,000 gold, exclusive of those fromia first class condition, will be sold in small South China, which amount to about lots.
TCash on Delivery $3,000,000 more; and the difference be "tween imports and exports in a general way measures the value of the tobacco- working industry of Hongkong.

There are three lines of tobacco manu facture in the.. Colony. One is a large cigarette factory started several years ago by Chinese capitalists from Canton, and is known as the Canton Nanyang. Brothers Tobacco Co. (Lid.) The second. factor is a large rigar factory which was started several years before the way us branch of a Manila (P.L) Factory, and is known as the Oriente Cigar Factory Like the Manila 'concern, was owned more or less completely by German torests; with, the inception of the war it- was taken over by the Hongkong Govern ment for liquidation. It has been ope rated as a going concern by the liquida tors ever since, and is reponsible for most of the difference between the imports and exports of digara. Very little of the product of this factory is used locally. The third principal factor is the industry of the native tobacco dealers, in which. the raw leaf is imported and manufac tured mostly into fine-cut tobacco for use in native Chinese pipes, especially the small nickel and brass water, pipes.

DIRECTORY &
CHRONICLE
It is of interest to note that experiments have been carried on for some time by the botanical and forestry department of the Colonial Government in Hongkong with a view to producing in the Colony itself tobacco leaf suitable for the manu- facture of cigars. A considerable degree of success is to be noted, and experi mental lots of cigars have been made. There is a considerable amount of terrain in the mainland portion of the Colony considered suitable for the production of CELINA, a high-grade leaf, and it is thought that under proper superintendence and in MENTS, struction a large production of such tobacco can be developed.
THE COTON INDUSTRY
JAPAN"
RECENT DEVELOPMENTE. According to a recent report by H.M Commercial Secretary at Yokohama,"pub lished in the Board of Trade: Journal, dealing with the cotton industry develop ments in Japan, spinning companies to the number of seventeen have beco newly floated or are shortly to be established in the Osaka district. The aggregate capital of these concerns will excoed 35,000,00 yen and the number of spindles at their disposal will be over 180,000 the figures in two cases being at present unknown.
The increase in the capital of spinning and other companies, of frequent occur rence of late, is invariably a capitalisa tion of profits, e.. capital is increased out of profits, instead of increasing the dividend rats. The average dividend of twenty-six cotton spinning companies during the three years 1911-13 was 30.5 per cent. In the following four years, 1914-17, the average dividend, of thirty- two such companies was 20.22 per cent, while the average dividend of thirty-three companies in the first half of 1918 twad 50.27 per cent. Japanese spinners are looking forward to producing the finer counts of yarns, and there are indicationa. that they are favouring American cotton at the expense of other growths. The average annual imports of cotton "rose [67,103,506 yen, or 35 per cent, in value above the mean established in the years 3911-13, to an average of 200,838,840 yen. for the years 1914-17.
COTTON EXPORTS_
Japan exports only whipped cotton in the raw state, The shipments of this during 1911-13 averaged 7,952 picula per andum, valued at 251,181-yen; the ensuing four years, 1914-17, saw the average annual exports enlarged to 12,938 picuis, valued at 415,661 yen: There was still decided tendency towards further increase. in 1017, the last year of the latter period, shipments then amounting to 13,699 piculs, valued at 615,627 yen. The principal destinations of cotton exported from Japan were China, Kwangtung, Asiatic Rusia and Hawai
The average annual production of raw cotton in Japan is only about 17,000 piculs, or of the average consumption of 6,838,000 picúls per dadul for the fix years 1912-17. Compared with the average of the quotations ruling in 1913 for the principal: markete spot prices in 1917 showed a rise of rather over 100 per cent. Values continued to advance in 1915, and the average price of spot cotton for the period January-August for that year was 150 per cent above the 1913 level.
FOREIGN ARMIES
Sir A Williamson (Financial Secretary to the War Office) replying to Major.D Davies (Co. Montgomery), on March 19th stated that the armies which foreign Powers propone to maintain are follows:Austria, 30,000, Germany,200,000 (100,000 by July 10th, 1920), Belgium, 100,000 Bulgaria, 44,000; Crecho- Blovakia, 15,000; Franca 380,000; Greece, 200,000 Hungary 25,000 Italy 250,000 Netherlands, 137,600 Norway, 138,500 Roumania, 230,000 Portugal, 36.000 Spain, 190,000 8Sweden, 308.001 : Bwit- zerland, 140,000: United States of Ame rice, 242,000 and Yugo-Slavia, 170,000
