DEFECTS ON JAPANEER SIDE.
(1) In the beginnings of foreign trade the | export of most Japanese goods was undertaken by foreign merchants more for the sake of novelty than for the purpose of permanent trady, and the sellers, as a rule, did not com com themselves much about the quality of the goods they supplied.
(a) Many of the goode which are now re- garded as important articles for export have either been dowly manufactured or modi: find to suit the taste of foreign markets; but the manufacture of these goods is neither based on mature experience nor a full on- derstanding of the taste of the purchaser, Moreover, many of these articles are more for the purposes of ornament than for practical ass, and this circumstance is also responsible for having caused general deterioration in goods for export,
