To regard to the prospect of the cotton yarn market, the aka Jiji ootes that by the sus pension of spindles the monikly output of yarn has beco reduced by about 15,002 Japanese bales, which is equivalent to a decrease in the export of yarn, as the supply for the home demand has to po way decreased, and the quo- tation of yars now ruling-abpui Yitz-can- not be regarded as low The quotation of American raw cotton has declined by rver Va lately, and the yarn market threatens to fall be- How Yo't, Speaking of the position of spinning companies, the Osaka įsureal goes on to say that in May and June last, when the market was

"Tuk "jyes" COMMENT, According to a report from the Japanese Consul at Amoy, says the Jiji, the smugglers of the 12,000 rifles and anmunition, who were arrested at Chuaschaw, Fukien, as reported in our columns, were a sapanese, a Formosan, and a few Chinese. It seems the rifles were mostly obsolets and out of ute, being only fit for scrap iros. Some of the weapons, however, were complete and in good order. Our coulempos sty says the Foreign Office in Tokyo is prepar. ed to examine the case carefully, in conjunction with the Chinese authorities, and if the rifles
•are lound to be lo violation of the Foreign Trade Regulations of Chios, the matter will be left to the disposal of the Chinese authorities, wi.boot a repetition, says the iji, of the foolish course taken in the case of the Tatsu-mani,
