KIANGSI PORCELAIN

WARES,

Kiangsi porcelain wares, are known for their fine quality and good workmanship all over the world. They are highly valued by all especially the people of Kwang- tung who import large quantities every year estimated in value at millions of dollars. In recent years, owing to the unceasing importation of these wares from foreign coun- tries especially from Japan, the Kiangsi goods have been less popular with the people of the South, who find that they can buy. them at a much cheaper rate from abroad. Lately, however, Kiangsi wares have regained their old popularity and since the Tsinan affair Kiangst porcelain has done á fourishing business by lowering a 19.32 +03 Little their charges as compared with the prices quoted before the Sino- Japanese clash.

According to the central statis- tical bureau, the general crops are estimated at 4,500,000,000 puds plus about 500,000,000 puds felt from 1997. The grain crops surpass the 1927 harvest by over 1 per cent., while the general crops are above

The Soviet Government is pro- hibiting the export of grain, success- fully carrying out State grain pur chases according to the programme, and keeping the index figure only 16 per cent. above 1997:

Apprehension is being felt about the condition of trade of Japan with foreign countries this year, which is expected to result in an excess of imports of more than Y.200,000,000, which compares with Y.188,000,000 of last year.

Since Janizacy let, the trade balance has not indicated any im. provement, contrary to general ex- pectation, and the import surpina for the past ten months showed an increase of Y:7,508,000 as compared with the like period of last year

It is generally considered that the trade balance will not take favourable turn this year, even though the Sino-Japaness problem is settled favourably to Japan and the export of raw silk shows great expansion for the remaining two months of this year,

FOR NEW ZEALAND

ORE:

SYDNEY, Oct. 31st.

It has been learned here that Japanese interests are negotiating. to obtain 7,000,000 tons of iron ore from New Zealand mines,, ...

This report is causing widespread comment in view of the fact that in June, immediately after removal of mining restrictions applying to aliens, Japanese negotiated for 300,000 tons of ore annually from Koklan Island, in the Buccaneer group, north-west of Australia. If the present deal is completed the Japanese will have a strong bold on the production of iron ore in the Bouthern hemisphere.
