Washington, August 20.-A statement
prepared by the treasury department.
shows that for the first time in the his
tory of trade relations with Japan, the
United States is entitled to be considered
as serious competitor with Europe.
A recent British report from the legation
at Toxic reviews the foreign trade of
Japan during the past year. In the sup
-ly of machinery, rails, nails and pig
'. on, the United States assumed leading
nlaoe. The British representative pointed
out that the American railway engine
builders were likely to receive great
number of orders during the present year.
An unusual demand for metals, textiles
and raw materials is noted, going to
show the growth of manufactured in
Japan. The following table exhibits the

The Portland daily press., 1897-08-21

In other items there also has been
substantial increase. In one instance has
there been a decrease from the value of
exports in 1896 namely in sole leather,
which fell from $474, 500 to 1913, 1858.
Notwithstanding the heavy increase in
exports the United States buys more from
Japan than we sell to that country.
