JAPAN's BOOM.
Plain Truths About Asiatlc Labor ir
the Island Kingdom.

Hon. John Barrett. United States
minister to Siam. gives some plain
truths about Asiatic labor In Japan
in the North American Review. There
is a boom in Japan" he writes-"a
boom in floating and establishing num-
berless varieties OF manufacturing
plants from Nagasaki to Hakodate.
This may lead TO overproduction and
financial disaster. Let US hope not, for
the proud little kingdom deserves a
better fate. But some Of Japan's ablest
and fear the consequences. Coming
right after the war with China, it bears
some resemblance to the remarkable
American industrial development fol-
lowing the civil war.
1.-THE haste and efforts 10 make large
profits have resulted oftentimes in pro-
ducing poor quality Of goods and
the consequent loss OF markets. The
japanese manufacturers, as a whole,
have not yet learned to maintain a
permanent high standard. II is claimed
that they do not plan for the future.
They think too much of the present.
This is used as an argument against
their competitive ability and may prove
valid IL change is not accomplished,
but it would seem that time would
remedy the defect.
1.-THE Japanese and Chinese home de-
mand is today different from that Of
America and Europe, and it may be
some time before Japan and China can
provide goods, especially for the for
eign market, which can compete with
the home supply Of those foreign coun-
tries. The visitor to Yokohama is con-
tinually reminded, moreover, that he
should buy his clothing there. especially
shirts, because prices are apparently so
much less than in San Francisco or
New York If the enterprising trav-
eler will go to half the trouble in Amer
lea to read the advertisements in local
papers he Will ind that he can obtain
shirts of equal quality at the same or
a less price. Perhaps man can pur-
chase a dress suit in Yokohama for
$50, gold, but he viii get $50 fit, and
the first evening he wears it at the
club or theatre or at home will also be
the last one Nor can a Japanese tailor
make an American laboring mans suit
for $40, gold, that can equal in wear
what can be purchased for that sum
in hundred Chicago clothing stores.
If large wholesale clothing manufac-
turing plants are established in place
of the present small back rooms, it is
possible that cheap clothing may be
extensively exported"

THE WHEAT MARKETS.
Price Falls at the Opening, but Jumps
at the Close.

Chicago, November 12.-Wheat open
ed with much stronger prices than 1t
was exhibiting at the close Of the mar
ket yesterday and for more than an
hour It kept edging upward. The bet
ter tone with which the market opened
was in part because Of the first Liver
pool quotations showing no change in
the face Of the 17s decline which took
place here yesterday It was likewise
due in part to small receipts of wheat
here.
The start for December was rather ir-
regular at from 7SIs TO 7gh, but princl-
pally at 70. yesterdays closing prices,
1t gradually worked up TO 1875 and then
got scared. Cablegrams from the Liver
pool Corn Trade News estimated the
Russian wheat crop at only 12,00O0OO
less than last year. This was 5O,O0O00O
bushels more than the previous esti-
mates, and had a decided effect, De-
cember sliding down to 7Sh in short
order. Subsequently, however, the
Beerbohm estimate of the shortage of
wheat in Russia, which differed ma
terially from that of the Liverpool Corn
Trade News, sent the price upward
again. and once more it went to 1913. In
the afternoon the bull feeling was com
pletely re-established Liverpool clos
ed g. higher New York reported three
cargoes of wheat sold for export and
san Francisco reported that the Aus
tralian demand was more urgent than
ever. The effect was soon seen in the
rush of buyers into the pit and the an
mated competition for offerings which
took December to SONqSO7s, the closing
price being SO4 bid.

SEED.

A great deal has been written about
selecting seed. We would say, select
your scotsman. FOR Il is an open secret
that in this age OF many commercial
shams. an old or inferior article can
be made to look almost equal 10 new.
Seed buying must be-. TO a great extent
matter Of good fssh, and the channel
through which seed is procured, is OF
the chief Importance. With very little
Ingenuity indeed a very superior finish
can be put upon the worthless article,
and In addition to this really excellent
seed as regards terminating quality.
may have been saved from very
worthless stock. Everything considered
It is advisable to pay the utmost atten-
ton TO the quarter from which the
seed reaches the hand OF the sower
Less reliance than formally is placed
on the nominal title OF the various
kinds as describing the country from
Dutch seed for heavy or heavy in
clined soils, and Riga for light or me
dlum. But for various reasons this
rule is less adhered to than formerly,
and II is TO be feared that some of the
practices abroad as well as at home,
render II practically imperative. Riga
seed one year in Holland is perhaps
the most desirable strain for Irish soil;
but II is asserted that large portion
OF the seed is run out" in Holland
Russian Is frequently passed through
Holland without ever touching the soil
or seeing the light in that country, be-
yond being changed from one covering
TO another. In this way the name is
made OF little value unless the seed
can be traced TO a worthy source. Sound
English seed has produced good crops
Too often the failure Of a crop arises
from the poor seed which has been
bought on the penny wise and pound
foolish policy; huckstering for low
priced article and taking chance of the
result is courting failure. If the farr-
mer would aim at obtaining the best
results he must find the best article
in the market and be willing to pay
the price It commands.
