Last week considerable activity was shown in THE Steamship the cotton yaru market in Osaka. The advance in the price of American raw cotton bas forced up the quotation of Indian and Chinese cotton, and this has resulted in an advance in the price of Indian and Chinese co'ten, yarns. Owing to a heavy depression to the market for boms sumption, Japanese yarn has a contrary ten dency, the price at one time declining to below 114. During the past few days the market has improved somewhat, the quotation going up

In all about 13,000 bales have been purchased by ex- portare in the past few days. On the Yarp Ex- change, however, the market is regarded with pessimism. It is pointed out that the monthly production of yarn amosate to about 80,000 baler, while the export of yarn is not more thin 20,000 bales per month on an average. If some activity is shown in the-export. when the home demand is depressed, as at present, the stock on the market will steadily increase and holders will eventually be forced to sell at a sacrifice as the result of over-production.~Japan Chronicle.

EXPECTED ABANDONMENT OF EAST ASIAN
COAST SERVICE.
The Bremen correspondent of the London
Daily Mail writes:-The loss of £903,000 shown by the last balance sheet of the North German Lloyd Steamship Line" has naturally led the directors of the company to consider in what way expenses can be curtailed and the earning power increased. I hear on excellent authority that it has practically been decided to give up the Mediterranean-Levant line, and the ships of the company plying between Genoa, Naples, Palermo, and the Levant will, is expected, cease running at no distant date. It is further exceedingly probable that an- other branch of the Lloyd, the East Asino Coast fe vice, will also be given up. This latter line was purchased from a British company, and proved to be one of the worst speculations
which the late director, Herr Wiegand, in bis efforts to extend and strengthen the North German Lloyd, ever entered upon.
While the prestige of German skippieg will undoubtedly suffer, the financial position of the Lloyd will be improved and consolidated when the vessels in the above mentioned routes av longer run for account of the company. For years past these branches of the service have resulted in an aenusi loss of some '£100,000.
CRICKET.
There's an English law it is well to heed, Though unwritten all the same, dark as Sauserit to alien cats,
And
It is this that you Play the Game. You may lie to a woman, il only at beer,
You lie 'for her, royalty;
You may cheat your friend'in a business way,
So long as it's business—saa ?
But you musto't rat, and you mustn't speak,
Or the Devil himself cries "Shame1" You may set your foot on the Decalogue So long as you Play the Game.. Play up, play hard, for all you are worth,
sa maxim we learned at school; And don't look back to the olden track-
Lot's wife was a sorry fool.
If you haven't a virtue, stand by a vice, -
But to even a vice be true;
Every man has a dearest sin,
And woman have often two. With heart and soul on the passing goal,
But never a sigh for the same;
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth the racing-
But seo that you Play the Game.
