It is something that in India- Another Member of Council' has been appoint- ed, to have charge of a commercial depar ment; but that is a very different thing, from providing in the United Kingdom same trust- warthy source of information for English mer- chants engaged in the Indian trade. The German Commercial Bureau at Berlin employs iwa natives of India to teach it at first hand the multitudinous things regarding caste and the prejudices of the lodians, which no European cou possibly know, but which are all-important in the trade. The japanese, it must be admitted, have given evidence of the skill and energy of which they are capable. Sir Thomas Sutherland, chairman of the P. and O. Company, at a meeting reported in the Times of December 11, had to admit that the whole of their intercolonial trade between Bombay and Japan had been wiped out by the energy of
THEIR JAPANESE COMPETITORS. That trade, consisting chiefly of raw coiton, and amounting to about 700,000 bales, was worked as a monopoly between an association of spinners and the shipownors. The P. and O. Company purchased one or two cargoes of cotton and sent it to Japan, when they found to their uprise and horror that they could not sell a bale, and had to bring it all back. Again, another statement has appeared in the Press to the effect that an important agreement was lately concluded between the Nord- deutscher Lloyd Steamship Company and the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, for the regulation" of the shipping trade in the Farther East. The Japanese company, it is said, withdraws from the Further ladia shipping trade and leaves the whole service, and especially the trade be tween India and Singapore and Hongkong, to the Germans that is, the Germans are to be left as the unimpeded rivals of British shipping in the Farther East. Thus Japanese trade is to be carried in German ships by a combination of forces against British trade, The Japaneie would not have adopted this device of utilihing German shipping if it did not pay them..
