Japan. watch Industry.

Notwithstanding the cheap labor In
Japan and strenuous efforts made to
manufacture watches by the Japanese,
that country continues to import great
numbers OF watches and clocks from
Switzerland and the United States. In
1897 $4,000 Of Swiss watches and
tl09. $40 Of American watches we're I'M
ported. while for the nrst six months
OF 1898 Switzerland supplied Japan
with watches TO the value OF s56i,O65,
and the United States sent watches
amounting in value to Ss2,S45.
II Is stated that the American
watches are held In high repute by tho
japanese. but the Swiss watches being
much the cheapest the latter are most
popular with the masses. a snowy
case counts for more than an accurate
umepieoe with most people In that
country. Concerning the conditions
OF the watch industry and the price OF
labor. a leading paper of Tokyo says;
"a member Of the Osaka Watch COM
pany says that the wages paid TO tho
workers in that factory are certainly
much lower than those paid in Euro
poan or American factories; yet, do
spite this fact. the business OF watch
making is not paying one in Japan.
Lack Of skill among the mechanics IL
one OF tho reasons given for this state
OF affairs"
