FORNIGN MARCHANTS IN JAPAN.

A JAPANESE VIEW,

Referring to the situation of foreign mer- chants in Japan, the Osaka Mainichi observes that the success of Japan in the Japan-China war gave a strong impetus to the development oficirect trade by Japanese matchaoti both in exportand import, the extension of the nation al power of Japan abroad having paved the way for facilities of exchange, with foreign markets for Japanese merchants. `Before the' ,war foreign merchants in Japan bad esercised | absolute control of the foreign trade of this country, and the Mitsui Company was the only Japanese mercantile firm able In compete, with foreign merchants. The result of the

HARTMANN'S RAHTIEN'S GENUINE direct trade by the Japanese proved murs

to the Japanese than to buy from foreign mid-, &C.,

dienen, and consequently they began to give preference to the Japanese, and the attention Sole Agents for
