Of the enormous import of raw collon, very nearly half is from British India, while China and Korea take the whole of the exported cotton yarns.

The total trade of the British Empile with Japan last year amounted to 16 millions ster ling, or about 30 per cent of the whole; the pro, artion of imports being rather less than 40, and of the exports about 20 per cent. The share of the United States was about 24 per cent., of China rather more than 15, and of Germany and France at about 6 per cent, each.
