Cuban ports. Not potato comes into
the City of Havana from the country.
The milk is almost all condensed and

and vegetables are from Florida. And

DECLINE OF JAPAN's CERAMICS
Deterioration Leads to a Falling Off il

Deterioration Leads to Falling Off in
 the American Demand
 The ceramic industry of Japan, view found to be suffering from a chronic form of decadence. The annual export does not exceed 100000 yen worth, which, however, will decline to 1,60o 900 yen when the value of cloisonne ware is deducted from the sum. Of the to- tai export at least one half is sent to the American market. Good customers for the Japanese ware as the Ameri- cans are, Japan, however supplies to them only per cent. of the total volume of porcelain, the remaining 96 per cent. coming from the French, Ger man and other potters.
 The reason why the demand for Jap anese ware Is steadily falling off in America is entirely due to the deterio- ration of the quality of the Japanese porcelains. And yet the Japanese ware is relatively higher in price than the German and French ware. The price being such, with nothing particularly recommendable in it's workmanship,
 
 anese ware does not decline even more.
 To what extent the industry has been reduced may be inferred when it is remembered that in Arita, one of the principal porcelain districts of Japan, while it's output was valued at above 700,000 yen worth about ten years ago, has since declined to only one-seventh. Deterioration of the quality is at the root of the trouble. The same remark applied to Tajimi, Soko, Kyoto and in deed to almost all the places of old famous for their porcelains. Various causes are evidently at the root of the evil. The withdrawal of the liberal patronage formerly extended to pot ters by feudal princes must in a large measure be responsible for the discon- tiuance of production of porcelain ware of exquisite workmanship as to entitle it to be ranked among art objects. But with regard to the cheaper kinds of ware the cause must be traced to the lack of funds and of knowledge Both are defects not easy to remedy, for it Is out of the question that Japa- nese potters could have, even in com bination, command of an adequate amount of funds. The second difficulty is equally beyond immediate cure, for the artisans at present engaged in the work are in most cases men of the old school and are not qualified to be bene- ed by the recent progress of science. That will be possible only after the boys now being educated at the various apprentice schools shall have been turned out sufficiently equipped for the purpose, with scientific knowledge, fur ther strengthened by practical training at the workshops. But, in regard to this question of how to promote the ceramic industry, the authorities should contribute their due share. It Is necessary that greater encourage ment should be accorded it. as is the case in the principal ceramic countries of the world, such as Germany and France.-The Japan Weekly Times.
