COMMERCE OF JAPAN.
Steady Increase in Imports of Coun-
try Is Shown.
Failing on However i'm the Importa-
ton of Raw Cotton-PoIiticnI
Troubles of Lttt1c Nation Gre
ate UDfHVOrnbIc Condition,

The commerce of Japan, in which
the United States is greatly inter-
ested, is discussed by the Swiss con-
sul-gencral at Yokohama in "a report
which has just reached the treasury
bureau of statistics. 1t shows Il
steady increase in the importations
of Japan in 1900 over those of the
preceding year, though in the mat
ter OF raw cotton there has been a
marked decrease. Japan's importa-
tons of raw cotton in 1899 were very
large, and, owing to the high price in
1900 and the large stock of American
cottons laid in during 1899, her i'm
ports of that single article from the
united States in the nine months
ending with March, 1901, have been
but Sl,720,jS0 in value, as against
$ll,5l7,96S in the corresponding
months of the fiscal year 1900. As a
| consequence the total figures of our
exports to Japan show a material de-
crease, chargeable, however, almost
exclusively to the single item of cot
ton. Even with this great reduction
our total exports to Japan in the
nine months for which the bureau of
statistics has completed its figures of
the present fiscal year are nearly
S2,OOOOO0 in excess of the correspond
ing months of the fiscal year 1899,
though. as above observed, less than
those created by the abnormal i'm
portation of American cottons in the
, fiscal year 1900.
| The following statement of com
mercial conditions in Japan is taken
from the Sport of the Swiss consul
| general above referred to:
Owing to the recent political
troubles, Japan's foreign trade in
1900, unlike preceding years, shows a
considerable falling off. Money has
been scarce, one bank after another
has had to suspend payment, and the
Japanese merchants, unable to find
market for ordered goods, simply
break their contracts. 1t is reported
that there are at present goods TO
tho value of about $2O,OOO,G0O which
have been ordered but not taken by
Japanese merchants and manufac-
turers.
"The imports, as compared with
those of the preceding year, have
been higher by about $33,00O,0O0,
while the exports have been lower by
| $5,5000OO. This means for Japan an
outflow of over $40,0O0,000. 1t is
hoped that after the end of the Chi
nese troubles, which impose upon
Japan altogether excessive sacrifices,
a turn to the better may take place.
| The total value of the foreign trade
in 1900 was $243, 791 900, an increase
of $27,000,000 over the figures of 1890.
| This increase is due chiefly to the
extraordinary demand for rails and
other iron products, woolen cloths,
sugar and petroleum. The exports
show decrease of S5,5OO,OOO, chiefly
owing to the depreciation in the
trade of raw silk, 'kaiki,' matches
and cotton yarns"

Reiua mercedes as a training snip.
The former Spanish cruiser Reina
Mercedes is to be fitted up as train
ing ship for landsmen. When the
work of repairing it has been com
pleted it will be placed in commission
without further delay. The Reina
Mercedes was sunk by the Spaniards
in Santiago harbor on July A, 1898, to
prevent SIMPSONS ships from enter
ing. After'the war it was raised and
taken to Norfolk, then to Portsmouth,
n. H., where the ship is now. 1t was
originally intended TO cover over the
vessel and use it as a receiving ship,
but an examination showed it could
be put in condition for sea service. All
the machinery will be new. The Reina
Mercedes will be the first vessel cap
tured from Spain to be placed in com
mission on the Atlantic coast. The
name will not be changed
