became depleted and the price went up Orders were therefore hurriedly sent across to ilie Pacific coast for arrival in August or Sep tomber, but, as the result of the dislocation of the railway transport which existed at that time in America, the shipments only came in Octo- bar and November. By that time some of the japanese mills had begun work, and this,' with, the simultaneous arrivals of imported flour, brought about a congestion of the market. Notwithstanding the present depression of trade the economic journal holds that the future prospects are not so gloomy as la foared in some cases, and it is probable that with the advent of the warmer season the existing glut will be gradually lessened.
The capacity of the country in producing flour has, an already shown, been greatly increased by the establishment of the new mills. The daily output of the Masuda Seifuo is estimated at4,000 bago, that of the Nippon Seimai at 1.600 bags; Nippon Seifun at Hyogo, 1,800 bags; Asabi, 400 bags: Nippan, 5,000 bagi Teikoku, 2,000 bags; Nisshin, 1,600 bags;. Toa, 2.500. bags. It is computed that the annual produc tion of these companies does not amount to less than 6,000,000, bags, Deducting from the falter 4,00,000 bags, which is the average, apocal quantity imported, the surplus will be in the neighbourhood of 2,0:0,000 bags. Not. only is estimated that this will effectually check the importation of flour, but it is thought probable that the surplus can be used in Japan and China by extending the market, always supponing, of course, that flour can be cheaply. produced. It is, however, doubtful whether ibn Japanese- four-milling companies will be enabled to reap satisfactory profits in competition with American flour. The fact ir, says the Tokyo journal, that Japan is not yet in a position to produce wheat in suficient quantity to satisfy the demand. The total yield of wheat in the country is festimated at 3,507,055 koku, of which half the quantity is absorbed in the manufactore of soy and miso. Consequently, of the 2,500,000 Anku of wheat which is req iired for four-mill- ing purposes, about half the quantity has to be imporied, of course Japan can afford to increase, the yield of wheat if a good price is assured, but this can scarcely be practicable for some years to come. For this reason, con- cludes the Tokyo Kaisai, ef Japan wanis to succe ed in the four trade in Korea and China in come.
