Iwass, Ito, and Suzuki Shoten, Oaska and Kobe firms, have un- dertaken a further extension of the export market in Manchuris. It is to be noted in this conuration, con- tinues the Osaka journal, that English and American morohauts are trying hard to recover their jufluence in Manchuria through the assistance of the Anglo- American Tobacco Com any, and that the export of cotton goods to Manchuria from Shanghai is gradually beginning to increase; as the cotton spinning and wear- ing industry is developing in Shangbai. The total number of weaving Jorma in operation in Shanghai is about 3,000, which are capable of turning out daily over 300 bales of heatings, drills, jeans, eto., and the managemente of these mills are striving hard to improve the quality of their 2.15 goods.
