it Is strictly ques ton of cost, freight and in

Freight from England and Continental
Europe by steamer is cheaper than the lowest

Coast, less than half the distance away, and
when you come TO add our freights where are

All of the Japanese merchants I have met
and talked with tell me that the Americans
are more popular here than any other nation
atty, and, appreciating the fact that we are
the largest buyers of their products and the
smallest shippers OF our OWL, say they would
like to do more business with us and welcome
any movement which will tend to bring about
a changed state of these affairs. l had g long

nave NOT heretofora made an oficial report

have not heretofore made an official report
and feel now that my limited experience has
not given me much OF any information which
might be considered of great value.
There has been almost panic in Japanese
financial circles during the last two months,
although the worst is considered over.
After their war with China speculation was
rampant. Thousands of stock companies We're
fioated and the stocks doomed. Everybody
invested, but the collapse came. The native
banks shut down indiscriminately recently,
and merchants doing q legitimate business
were allowed no accommodations. Ih1s mad
the effect Of throwing heavy stocks OF mer-
chandise back onto the hands OF the foreign
houses, and the Yokohama and KOBE godowns
(warehonses) are crowded to overhowing.
Over 20 per cent of the import business OF
this country Is still in the HANDS OF foreign
houses-English. German, French and Amerf-
can. Five years ago they did 30 per cent OF
the business, but the japanese arc gradually
securing more and more of it.
While very little Credits given the japanese
by the importers, goods being almost in
yariably paid for against delivery order, still
heavy stocks are often imported upon con-
tracts, recommendation advice OF the
Japanese and the tightness OF the money mar
ket has prevented these goods moving out
freely.
1t did not take me long to tell why America
enjoys ~ so small a percentage OF the import
business of Japan. AT rough estimate 20
per cent OF .he foreigners doing business here
are Enghsh, German, french, etc. and the
| commission houses in their own countries.
Tney are sent out here to locate. and the OBJ
| ject is to introduce and sell goods produced in
! their respective countries.
They soon found out that the Japanese did
not look to quality; they wanted the cheapest
/ of the kind, and when they wanted any par
| ticuar kind it was specially made for this
market The few American houses here have
struggled to throw the trade to. America and
succeeded in a measure when quality was
wanted, but they soon found that II they were

called to him and said that if he was not
more careful he would. have fall. Hart,
who was near the top of the stairs,
laughed at the warning, but second
later he lost his balance. His right leg
swung around, passing over the bannisser,
twisting the mans hands off the wood
work. Hart fell head downward and
struck on his left side. The noise of the
fall was heard all over that part of the
floor, and those who rushed into the hall
way to see what had happened were sure
that Hart had been killed outright. A
physician was called, who said there was
still hope, and Hart was sent to the
hospital for the best of care. 1t is found
that he sustained internal injuries as well.

AMERICAN HARD WOODS.

The demand for American hard
woods in Europe is growing, and OAK
leads the foreign shipments, although
tulip, popular, ash, gum and black wal
nut, whenever good quality can be
secured, are in some demand. Euro
pean consumers like the quality of
American oak, and, since it is known
to be plentiful here, it will probably
be in increasing demand. Cottonwood
has been shipped to Germany in con-
siderable quantities, where cheap wood
is required for lumber is forwarded
from New Orleans, and, since a great
part of the oak, ash, poplar, cotton
wood and other timbers demanded by
the foreign market is in the Southern
States, it is not improbable that lumber
for foreign markets will be largely
shipped in future from the Gulf ports
In speaking of this matter, The North
western Lumberman says that the Eu-
ropean market requires lumber cut IF
exact thickness and of accurate length,
trimmed so as to have the butts square
and true. Space for piling in the yards
of the Old World is an object, so that
random, uneven lengths are objection
able, and, since the foreign buyer in
sists that he shall have just what he
bargains for, quality should be strictly
attended to.-Garden and Forest.
