Loudon, January 14.-Owing to large quantity failing to arrive in time for the last sale,

which only totalled 348 tons, the record weight of 1,138 tone was catalogued for to-day. Opening prices were fully up to expects tions, being about on a parity with private market rates, bidd- ing being general, and a steady tane prevailed throughout. Com pared with the close of the Buction of a fortnight ago, prices were about. 1d. par pound lower, all grades being elected to a like degree. The highest price was given for smoked sheole, a ship- ment of Highlands selling from 48. 8d. to 45. 911., while up to do. 61, was given for pale crape and Laaadron block and 4s. Rd. for unsmoked sheets and biscuits. Medium and common crepes were well competed for, up to 48. 4d. being paid occasionally for dark brown scrap cropes. Good pro- greas was made with the offerings, about 450 tons being disposed of, closing rates being fully steady, and it is inteseating to note that the spot, values of hard fiue Para and first latex crepe are both 48.

Russo-Japanese Trade. The much-vered question of Russo-Japanese trade comes be- fore. Russian economic societies very often, when, reasonably or unreasonably, it is distinctly complained that the tendency of trade between the two countries! is in favour of Japanese exports to Russia, and against Russian exports to Japan. It is remarked that the Japanese exports to Russia continually grow, and that the reciprocal movement in a regularly decreasing one. Many articles that Russia could export to Japan, such as sugar, are shut out by the protective policy of the importing country: One step suggested for the bat toring of the Russian position in Japan is the establishment in that country of a museum of Russian manufactures. This has been proposed over and over again. The probable reason for the unfavourable turn to Russia commerce that ilusar. 7. maj.

has taken may probably be found. in the zeal with which the Japa nese push bdsiness and the sleepy indiarence of Russians generally to the value of business hustle,
