The Secretary of the American Legation
at Toxic, Japan. Mr.. ID. W. Stephens, lately
arrived home after an absence of over eight
years. He says that Americans in Japan are
treated with the utmost courtesy and atten-
tion and the greatest kindness. In the En-
pire of Japan there are about 1000 foreigners,
and of these 500 are Americans. In Toxic
the capital, there are 200 Americans, and in
Yokohama about 400. The others are scat
tered in the smaller cities. About 100 Ameri-
cans are in the employ of the japanese gov
ernment and private japanese companies
Americans have almost entire control of the
educational affairs. BY the way, the Japan
ese prefer America when they go abroad for
an education. There are fully 800 American
missionaries in Japan. They do good work,
and they live pleasantly and with. comparative
ease. In Yokohama some of the large busi-
ness houses are American. All the largest
tea houses are American. The tea houses,
by the way, have of late years sustained very
heavy losses. America controls the kerosene
trade, and this trade represents from 10000
600 to 5000, 900 gallons annually. The
, United States is rapidly regairing its cotton
trade with China, and in due time we are
certain TO secure the cotton trade in Japan.

The manufacture of lumber from straw is
an industry which has already attained some
growth in the West. Planks twelve feet
long by thirtvtwo inches wide have been
made from it, the resulting wood being al
most as hard as horn and taking a good pol
ish. 1t can be planed like wood, which the
shavings much resemble, and as there is
no shrinkage, the substance is claimed
to be adapted to many purposes for which
wood is not always satisfactory. 1t is
said also, that it can be made for less price
than is now paid for clear pine timber.

Several persons at Cairo wish to bet

The national banks of this country
have increased their circulation 49,
600, 900 during the past two years, and
it is believed that it will increase from
its present volume of 1854, O00, 900 to
1915, 600, 900 ere long. The amount
now outstanding is heavier than ever
before, and though the money market
is easy at all points, it is the opinion
of many that the volume Of money in
general circulation is not excessive,
considering the healthy state of trade
now prevailing throughout America,
Europe and elsewhere. The demand
for money in this market is light at
present, and discount rates are easy at
6 per cent.
