JAPANESE TRADE.
INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS LAST YEAR REVIEWED.
Japanese commercial advices rocefved by the local Consulate state that 1928 was an eventful year, characterised by the advance of special funds under the Special Advance measure, the develop. ment of discussions on the lifting of the ban on gold exports, rela- tions with China and the fluctua tions in foreign exchanges. There was every indication of an Improved situation in all indua- tries despite depression due to a decline in purchasing power.
The situation in the money mar- ket was cased by the advance of special funds, while the deflation policy adopted by the Government and the Bank of Japan lead to the adjustment of panic-stricken banks. The depreciation of bank rates also went a long way to wards the adjustment of financial conditions.
Retrenchment measures adopt- ed in industry proved effective In diminishing the burden of bank rates, lowering the cost of pro- duction and improving efficiency.

BRITISH SEAMAN'S PRISON ORDEAL:
THROWN INTO CELL WITH MURDERERS.
Liverpool, Dec. 6. Details of an extraordinary ex- perience in a Texas. goal were re- lated at Liverpont to-day by Roland Henderson, a acaman, of Abercynan, South Wales. Henderson, who was arrested early last month while seeking employmont, was placed in a cell in Harris county goal, Hous- ton, with four murderers on a dint of black coffee and boiled rice.
"Later I was horrified to hear," added Henderson, "that I was to go before the 'Kangaroo Court, which is a niock affair presided over by j long-termed prisoners. It was held in the prisoners' common room. The judge was a bootlegger who was serving a sentence of 18 years, and the sheriff was a bank robber.. The jury were a molley collection of men all serving long sentences. When I was pushed into the centro of an evil-looking gang I gave venti to a few British seaman's curses, but was prodded in the ribs by the Jurymen. I was told that if I did not pay over five dollars, the court would inflict punishment and the gaolers would give me all the dirtiest work. Instead of the money, which I had not got, some of my clothing, a pocket knife and cigarette case were taken from me, and then 1 was made to run the gauntlet of the court' officials, who were armed with leather belts and other weapons.
Smuggled Letters.
"With the assistance of six other seamen who, when they were re- lerised took out with them letters that I had written to the British Consul at Galveston, the British Ambassador nt Washington and the Immigration officers, I was eventually released after a fort- night's ill-treatment and starva- tion. I was allowed to sign on a aip Presidente
