THE TRADE OF JAPAN.
In an article on the foreign trade of the Empire for the present year, this Cliugai Shugye, the leading commercial paper of Tokyo, says that according to investigations made by the Finance Department, the total value of Japan's export trade this year up to the 25th instant
amounts to Y313,600,000 in round figures, and that of the import trade to Y362.000, 00. A foy days yet remained before the your end, bai the value of business done in that time would be only trifling, so that the figures given may be 223 takon as representing the year's trade. Com- pared with the preceding two years, the result of Japan's foreign trade for 1904 shows a good improvement, as will be seen from the following

The bulk of the foreign trade this year, 676,000 000 you in round Egures, showing an increase of some 60,000,000 yen over the value for last year-axports representing an increase of 29,000,000 venand imports 50,000,000 yen. The value of the foreign trade of the Empiro in 1993 was the largest since the opening of the country to foreign commerce, and the result this year shows an increase over last year, which must be regarded us vory satisfactory in view of the war, The fact that the export of bullion exceeded 100,000,000 yen is chiefly due to the large quantities of war munitions purchased from
abroad.
