JAPANESE CREDIT.

The following notes are extracted from the City Article in the Times of November 17th.

The great success of the second issue of the Japanese Six per Cent, loun, which has been subscribed moly fourteen timoa orur, is, no doubt, ne partly to its cheapness," Cheap it certainly is, that is to say, owing to the war to subscribers who get allotments will have had the opportunity of obtaining a Japanese Government security at a price materially below what they would have to pay in time of peace.

Japan is now paying 34 to 4 por cent, nuore for the temporary accommodation she needs during the war than she would, probably, base to pay for a loqu in time of poare. Most people have hitherto underrated the financial resources of Japan as much as they underrated her mili tary power, and oven the magnitude of her The population, which is larger than our own. mistake was untural, every "new" country (and Japan is new as a country which has adopter some Western ideas) has to make its proofs when it appears before the world as a lower in the diplomatic songs.

MANCHESTER OPINIONS The Trade and Marchandias Marks Com- mittee of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce reported that they had passed the following resolution: "This committea, having carefully considered the translation of the Chinese Provisional Regulations appertaining to the reg.stration of trade marks in Chins, sont by the Sha ghai Chamber of Commerce to the Manchester Chamber, cannot but express its opinion that many of them regulations will provs detrimental to the users of trade marks in China. That in view of the fact that these regulations are to be subject to revision when a code governing trade marks has bou compiled, at some future date, this committes would impress upon the board of directors "the ad- HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF YOUR visability of having the fundamental principles, at least, of such code clearly set forth as the outset, or much time will be wasted, and friction and litigation engendered, by the Chinese Government proceeding to registration under these provisional regulations in their present form. That, in view of the great preponderanes AND WHAT ABOUT THE of trade marks used for the textile classes, over those of all other trades, it is important that traders should have before thom the scheme of classification of trade net des proposed to be adopted by the Chinese Governmsat. It is not less important that it should be olearly stated that the Administration will first call in, and deal with, all marks which have REMEMBER THAT WE ONLY STOCK THE hitherto been used in all trales in China, and that the length of time such marks have been sed in that country shall be stated and con- aidered; and only natil sach marks have been dealt with by the Chinese Administration should applications for new marks be proceeded with. In the provisional regulations now issued precedenes is properly proposed to be given, under treaty agreements, to marks which have been the subject of registration in non-Chinese Bountries. While this is a most useful provi ston. the attention of the board is called to the fact that there is in the B list of the cotton classes in the British Register of Trade Marks a large and most valuable class of old marks in use prior to the passing of ine British Pateuts and Trade Marks Act of the 18th August, 1875. which marks have secured a quasi- registration in the British list, and this com mittee desires that a corresponding treatment of such marks should be recomended to the consideration of the Chinese Administration. Apparently the Board of Commerce will be the cutrolling authoring for the administration, ander the cods and regulations but as it is. provided that the Custom Houses at Shanghai and Tintain will be creatal bench offices of registry, this committee infers that, as most of the goods bearing trade marks will be of non- Chinese origin, the control of such trade marks would be in the hands of the Department of Maritime Castems, under which department the goods will come at the port of ontry.

RUSSIAN ARMY TRANSPORT.

The Odesek Listok publishes the following with regard to the transport of the 8th Army Corps. from the Odessa uilitary district to Manchuria the transport began on October. 1 with the 12th Battalion of Sappers. The average time allowed for the journey to Kaarbin including days of test and sojourn on the way. is about 37 days. Thus the 56th Regiment of Infantry, which left Tiraspol on October 10, is expected to arrive at Kharbin on November 16. The distance between these two places is 8,400 vorsts, or about 5,600 miles, so that the average rate of progress reckoned on is about 63 miles an hour. This is including stoppages of various kinds, and how many days is allowed for them 127

is not stated. but it is evident that even if as much as 18 days of the 37 are allowed for stoppages the speel of the trains cannot exceed enlculated that the 12 miles an hour. It

The Russian baggage train is much more considerable than that of other European armies, and 28 railway trains are allowed for the baggage train of a division of infantry- namely, four for that of the stuff and auxiliary service and six for that of each regiment. The number of military milway trains despatched daily is geven, but on the portion of the railway round Lake Bailkal only fire of these can pass; to other two have to be taken across Lake Baikal. This can easily be done when the water is free from ice, or when the ice is not too thick for the icebreakers to get through. which generally they cannot do for only a short time in the year, between the end of November and the middle of December.
