COMMERCIAL NEWS.
The Export of Coal- Since the outbreak of the war exports from Japan have general ly shown a great morease, but just the reverse is the case, with coal. The total exports of coal in 1914 showed a decrease of no less than 450,000 tons on the figures for the preceding year. In 1915 the amount exported suffered a further decline, whis last year.” no notable increase was shown in the total export, although the Mitsui and Mitsubishi firma made a large shipment of about **,000 tons each at a single time to Alexandria and Madrid respect. ively. And this year the dealin» ing tendency is still in evidence. One of the main factors respon-- sible for the decreased export a doubtless the scarcity of tonngre, but seeing that stocks in Kyushu and Hokkaido do not increase decrease, but rather show a fall- proportionately as the exporta ing-off, it seems that the develop- ment of the domestic industry is also responsible. It is believed that this tendency will still con- tinue. During the last three years, there were exported from Japan 3,115 9 5 tons in 914, 2,835,928 toas in 1915, and 2,901, 704 tons is 1916.
Proposed Standardisation of Japanese Exports.
The Japanese Government is shortly to put in practice a system of inspecting and standardizing the quality of the principal exports from this country, and the matter is engaging the co-operative attention of repre- sentatives of the Trade Guilds and other similar bodies all over the country, who are now meeting for the purpose at the rooms of the Department of Agriculture and Commerce. On the 12th instant Mr. Nakashoji... the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce. addres-ing these delegates on the subject, said— "No complaint is made abroad about the quality of habutas and raw silk, in which the manufact-

The outcry is raised only in regard to trose, goods which are comprehensively known as zakka, or general cargo.” One of the reasons is to be found ia defects in regard to our industrial system.
