This is the more satisfactory in that general shipping business is in a most depressed and unprofitable condition. You will probably ex- pect me to tell you how the war now prevailing between Japan and Russia affects us. thoroughly convinced that, had Russia not been most justly tackled by Japan, Manchuria would have been lost to Furopean trade, and part cularly to our company; because all kerosens but Russian would certainly have beeu excluded by prohibitive tariffa, Manchuria, however, is a natural market for our Borneo and Sumatra oils, which can be laid down, owing to the geographical position, at much lower prices than is possible for either Russian or American oil. Besides this, I am convinced

tion of the Japanese trade, both in Korea and Manchuria, will advance for more rapidly than it would have done under the reactionary policy of the Russian Government. I have had [970 practical proof of how able the Japanese are in their civil administration, by seeing what giant atrider Formosa has made since it has been under their guidance. I ventured to predict that we were becoming more and more inde- pendent of Russian oil owing to our largely increased production of Eastern oil. The fact is that If Russia would remove the terrible excise duty which she has placed upon oil for consumption in her own territories, for political reasons, to keep her unhappy people in the ignorance caused by dear light, there would be very little Russian oil available for export. The home consumption, under such conditions, would almost require the production of Russia to supply it. I cannot help thinking that, when better government prevails, this must be one of the first questions considered, and It would affect our trade very materially, because the value of other oils would increase were it sat that Russian oil is exported so largely be- cause of this artificial barrier to its home con. sumption. Our sales of liquid fuel continue to keep pace with our production and here again it is not a little remarkable that Russia, with the
