Turning to the import trade it will be observed that this tendency is more marked than in the export. In 1901 and 1903 Japan's percentage was 35 against 40 of Great Britain, 13 af Germagy, and 3 of America. The war, wever, upset this balance as in the export trade. In 1904 Japan's share fell to 71 per cent, and in 1905 to 43 per cent, while the British rose to 64, German 10 14, and America in 8 13 per cent.

YARN MARKET. · ·
In their repost dated 13th instant, Messrs Phirozsha 1. l'etit and Co. write:-Our Yarn market during the first part of the fortnight
So long as the members of the Chinese corps content themselves without arms, no serious objection can be raised to their cont.need existence, but it is known that this is not their why it would be unwise, if not impossible, to under review ruled steady and sales were effect intention. There are very obvious reasons
eniol Chinese volunteers under the banner of the Municipality and there are equally grave feasons for equiring that they shall not exer. cise their very laudable desites for miliary training either within or just upon the borders of the Settlement. At any given moment there might come in the future, as has inrtunately happened in the past, a clash of opinas be- tween the foreign Council and the Chinese local authorities and it would be unfor to the
members of the cops themselves to lay them mpen even to the possibility of a choice of allegiance.
The presence at the head of the procession yesterday al Trooper Spustiswoode and four minated Sikh police indicates that up to the present the Council sees no barm in the movement, with which in a general way indeed it is possible to do nothing but sympathise. The value of physical training and of discipline is being urged on Chinese by teachers from every quarter of the foreign world and excremes of a semi-military chariçier form part of the curriculum at all the greater colleges. In its first inception the Consultative Committee also was seen to have its commendable, points; it was the extraordinary rapidity with which the inch was stretched into an ell that caused the strong revulsion of feeling in that instance. The Chinese Volunteers may with profit bear that in mind, and remember that, if the foreigner acts sometimes upon suspicions, and is ever on the look-out for possibilities of danger, he is not without previous cause. There is no desire to crush out any minvement which tends to the making of better cinzens of our Chinese fellow- residents; but we must be quite sure of the motive before we can' bless without reserve their latest scheme.

ed at last mail's prices. Latterly a fall in the rate of exchange brought purchasers in the market with a greater inclination for business and some selected threads were sold at, an advance of St. to 5 per bale. Several of the sales, which are not for obvious reasons in. cluded in this circular, are re-sales, made on account of the compradores and their sureties, of the holdings of those Chinese dealers who have failed. It is generally expected that a good trade is going to follow in the Chinese Seventh month, corresponding with August. September next, and prices may revive.
Our own market has not yet szuled down since the first crash came on. There is still some smouldering observable. One large Chinese Hopg is pronounced to be out of the fire; but the same thing cannot be said. of another which presents perplexing indications, so uncertain are its movements, although very ludable efforts are being made to stave of any actual further calamity. This serves to bring some tone to the equilíbijum so neces sary at the present moment.
Bombay spinners will find the following quotation highly interesting, elucidating, as it dees, certain questions of vital importance to mill industry in general, especially the distant prospects of China, who will have to be con sidered as no mean competitor in this industry against our Bombay mills -
The cotton mill business in Shanghaj is making a fair progress. At present, the spindles in Shanghai number about 300,000, of which 100,000 are owned by the Chinese,

JAPANESE AND FOREIGN SHIPS.
Now that the maritime trade of Japan has become of importance, it is interesting to know the respective positions of Japanese and foreign ships employed in carrying inerchandise to and from japan firior to and during the war, as given in the Oriental Economist. Before the outbreak of the war a large percentage of the goods imported into and exported from the country was carried in Japanese bottom, but with the beginning of hostilities a complete change came over the situation, and the greater part of merchandise had to be carried by foreign ships owing to the icquisition of many Japanese vessels by the Government. The following tables will show the relative part played by Japanese and foreign ships in the Japan trade during these periods:-
