\ San Francisco, June 16.-Alcohol is
now being shipped to Japan under cir
cumstances which promise that the
American article will be able to come
into profitable competition with the
German product The latter has al
most monopoly of the trade, as with
the advantages of an export bounty it
has been laid down at rates tt at could
