The Trade With Japan.
The report also discusses the growth Of
the export trade from the United States
to Japan. which. it says. ''is becoming
an important importing country of AmeIi-
can goods The report then quotes tables
showing the total imports of Japan and
the total from the United States and
United Kingdom, respectively, at quin-
quennial periods from 1881. 1t shows that
the imports into japan from the United

we make a comparison between the guam
titles of certain merchandise exported
this year with those exported the year

learned.
After reviewing the growth of exports
of manufactures in leading articles, he
says: THAT the United Kingdom makes
such poor showing in competition with
the United States is due almost entirety
to the use of more perfect and more eco
nornical machinery in this country. BY
improvements in methods of manufacture
and close attention to the wants of buy
ers there should be difficulty in COM

CARDS heavy steel goods such as rails,
structural materials, ETC., the abundance
and cheapness of raw material in the
United States makes competition more
difficult. For finished articles such as
machinery, etc, it is more question of
economy of manufacture and design than
