Spiwung Imistry, According to the latest statistics the annual production of cotton yarn in Japan amounts to about 1,000,000 bajer, of which two-thirds are taken up for home con- sumption and one-third for export, chiefly to China For the first six months of the current year the total output was 504,000 bales, of which 365,000 bales were sold in Japan and 138,000 balex exported to foreign countries, For the second half-year it is expected that the amount of export will be considerably less on account of the depreciation of silver exchange rates. Turning attention to the past of the cotton spinning industry in Jagan, it was last after the termination of the Chino-Japanese war, that the industry gained its frat impetus: and many extensive spinning mills were established ip various localities of.

With the subse- quent increase in the demand for cotton yarn many new factories were set ap on an exten- sive scale, and during the year 1902-1903 the as its zenith, Colton spinning companies Afor the Rosso-Japanese war, the splasing industry underwent somewhat different phase compared to other Industries. Instead of new companies being' promoted in large numbers many old concerns had recourse to the exten sion of their factories. The Nippon Ginko re- turns for the month of October quote the aux thorised capital of now cotton spinning com- panies at $7,000,000, while that for extension quoted at Yr2,000,000.

much prosperity during the half-year under review, but owing to the advance in the prices of commodities and the increase in wages, &c, together with the decline in freight due to the increase in shipping, the result of the working of the company had not proved altogether favourable.
The board of directors had resolved to raise the rate of freight as far as practicable and to promote every effort in order to obtain better results in the future; but the President's tone was anything but optimistic, and he expressed the fear that the results during the coming period might be even more unsatisfactory in consequence of the further advance in prices of commodities generally and the depression of trade
