JAPANESE COTTON SARONG TRADE

Singapore June 22.

Indian, sarong manufacturers can afford to smile at the in- troduction of the foreign "textiles quotas.

Japan's cotton sarong trade in this market, built up from 1,005 sarongs Worth Ittle more than $500, in 1929 to 5,751,000 sarongs, worth 92,088,000 in 1933, has been whittled down to a mere 24.000 sarongs for the quota period. Tremendous increase In Japan's trade in cotton sarongs has only taken place in the past two years, reducing Indian imports during the period from 4,024,000 sarongs in 1927 to 1.287,600 in 1933, and the Netherlands Indian share of the market from 4,322,000 to 1,807,000.

This is the most striking example of the effect the quotas will have upon Japan's share of the Malayan piece goods market. Two important developments are expected as a result of the publication of the quotas

One is that soon the quotas will embrace textile "lines" other than the seven already enumerated.

Japan's Quotas Already Nearly Filled. "By this time the alarm bad Merchants estimate, meanwhile been raised, and the keepers came that Japan will all in a matter along and endeavoured to beat of weeks the quotas allowed for

Expectations upon the second development are based on the ex- tent of Japanese imports of textile into Malaya during 1933 and, the fact that imports this year have shown a steady increase.
