SOMETHING SENsIBLE-At last there has
been proper and sensible interview with the
japanese embassy. A committee of the New
York Chamber of Commerce has conferred
with them to obtain such information as may
be valuable to those who desire to trade with
Japan. The ambassadors were very polite
and frank in their reception of the committee
The following is the substance of what they
communicated -
l. That the mines of gold, silver, and cop
per, in Japan, were monopoly of the govern
ment
z That they rarely got out more copper
than was wanted for home use, and occasion
ally only did surplus exist for export.
3. That the coal mines are owned partly
by the government and partly by wealthy in
dividuals.
A. That there exists no appliances for work
ing the coal mines to any great depth.
s. That the tea districts of Japan were ex-
tenSive; and that the production could be
greatly increased if the foreign demand re-
quired it.
6. That in Japan their preference was for
green teas, and that they had some doubt
whether the kinds of tea grown in japan
would suit the American market
g. Rice is abundantly cultivated in Japan,
id forms c ief article of food The export
is generally prohibited, under the belief that
large export would advance the prices, and
thus operate oppressiyely on the common peo-
pie.
8. In answer to the inquiry Of the committee
as to whether tea could be packed in the style
of the Chinese, with lining of lead, they re-
piled that they had lead in abundance, but it
was not applied to such use.
In reply to the question as to the production
of raw silk in Japan, it was observed that
the cultivation for home use was still going
on, and that the production could be largely
increased if trade with other nations demand.
