An official statement OF the foreign
trade Of Japan in 1894 shows that the ex-
ports amounted TO s.2a6 .oeo ven. and the
imports to li7.4S2,oeo ven. The total In
crease over the preceding year was "a
55s.oa ven. The increase In exports is
largely attributed to the decline in silver.
which Affords unusual advantages to for
eign purchasers. The sales OF tea amount-
cd to more than Ia,ooa.oo0 yen. and the
silk trade was correspondingly augment
ed. In 1885 the exports exceeded the Inn
ports by nearly I.son.ooo yen. In 1894 the
Imports exceeded the exports by moro
than 100000 yen.' The expert OF specie
last year was s4,s7. 900 yen; the import.
., ooa ven. In 1855 the export was r.
sss.ooc yen. the import 1i.issooo yen. The
/. unusual outflow OF specie in 1894 is ac-
counted for by the purchase of merchant
ships and war material from abroad
Tho custom duties In 1891 were 6.Ssi. 900
yens against 5,oo6 600 ven In 1893.
