Japanese Foreign Trado.
"
to over
The "Nippon says that the bulk of foreign trade at the end of November was over 883,000,000 yon, showing the increase of 46,000,000 yen as compared with the amount experienced in the corresponding period of last year. Of this, the imports have increas ad by 61,600,000 yen in compari- son with last year, while the exports have decreased by 10,800,000 yen. The excess of imports has amounted to over 65,700,000 yen, the specie currency exported amounting to -21,700,000 yen. The phonoinena are totally disheartening, especially because it is Japan's weak point that the specio reservò abroad is always on the decrease, The journal further observos that the increase of trade amounting 40,000,000 yen this year is chief- ly due to the increase of imports anticipatory of the revised tariff and in the optimistio forecasts as to the financial condition of the country that were made at the beginning of the year.. Of the anticipatory imports, machi neries of various kinds are the foremost in amount, or 23,400,000 van at the end of November, and the increase in this category as compared with last year being over 10,000,000 yon. There was also an increuse of about the same amount in iron goods. As to exports, all articles have fallen, with the exception of raw silk, which increased by about 800,000 you. Of course, this
ba may
largely due to the generat depression, of the world's markets, but-is cannot be denied that the evil lies in the ever increasing. tendency of the cost of produc- tion in this country.:
The journal points out that a conspicuous feature in this year's foreign trade is the sudden iu- crease of the imports of rice. The fact is that the crop was bad last your. The Departmeåt of Agricul- tare and Commerce had estimated it to be about 45,000,000 koku, but from reliable authority" tho journal 'lourne that the botuak harvest was no more thin 42,000,000; koku. Therefore, this price of rico has soon an extraordinary ring this and
year evon. necessitated Government intervention in rica'transactions. It has consequently proved that the importation of foreign rive lise amounted to about 9,000,000 yon, whis the exporte of the Japanese grain has seen, a de- orease of about 450,000-yen as against last year. The journal uscribes the phenomenon to the adverse condition of the harvest.
