to Vanrouver, and a further export of 6.0,,0 tons has been' concluded by a certain firm. Exp rts to China also continue brisk. On the other hand, the domestic consumption shows an increase of about 10 per cent. overlet year, and it is estimated that this year's total consumption at home will amount to about 3,500,000
piculs, while the quantity earmarked for the purp se by the su ar companies is no more than 3,000,000 piculs There is a me quantity brought forward from last year, yet it is believed that the demand wil be in excess. More ver, there are prospects of a further increase In. exports, with the high price.of. forein sugar and the expected American prohibition of the export of sugar. In the "circum- stances, a further advance in the domestic marketsscms inevitable. Tas U.S. Control of Iron and Steel.

The association formed by the shipbuilders, shipping man, and others "interested to agitate for the withdrawal of the American
embargo on iron and steel in rezard to supplies for Japan, has addressed. the following tele- graphic memorial to President Wilson and Mr. Lansing, the Secretary of State, under date of the
18th ultimo-Japan's requirements of iron and steel represent only a very tiny portion of the output in the Uni ed "ta.ee. On the other hand, the American prohibition of the export of iron and s'eel means & great blow to Japan's industry, As
a result, Japan may be com- pelled to refrain from fulfilling her desire of placing some of her vessels at the disposal of the Allies, thus leading to `B' redactio 1 of the -trans sort capacity. Moreover, workshops in Japan will have to be cl·sed down, throwing' tens of thous- unds of men out of work. It is to be feared that this'state of things' would have a harmful effect on the friendship between the Unit-
