There is no longer any room for doubt about the athenfletly of the had rerats of recent sales of Borneo tabacco. The New London Bornen Co. obtained good prices for first parcels, but all subsequent sales of Bornean lest have been effected at ralcous losses to the planter. It is alleged that the reason for this to be found in the fact that the demand fell off both for our and for Dell leaf as well. That may be so hat her reports tend to formulate the belief that "ring" has been operating to our detriment and may do so for some time. The situation is serious for as our competitors, Sumaira and New Gulnes, are both strong opponents, that we cannot despise, and are reputed to be desirous of ex'anding the scope of their opere- tions, If we are to be driven to the wall an Important and urgent question arises and that is

This wifler main |tains that the ploture has been to some extent overdrawn by Herr Hesse-Wastegg, and that the real facts of the case have not been accurately stated by him. Instead of being afraid of a pro- gressive people like the Japanesa obtalolog ́ ́ technical knowledge in Ecropean countries, German producers should follow the eximpla of the English and other manufactures in utilising the relations thus established for the develop- ment of an export trade in articles which Europe can continue to supply,”and which the Japanese cannot produce mo well for themselves. With -the progress of Japan her wants will increase. It must not be forgotten that many of the special branches of Industry referred to by Herr Heise Wartegg, such as the cotton and slik industries, metal worklug, and the percelain and lacquer indasules, are, so to speak, (ndigenous In Japan, that there are natural technical and physical limits sa their extension, and that, weinwhile, In adopting modern mechanical methods of pro- duction Japan is, so to speak, to some extent only recovering lost ground.
