FARMING IN JAPAN.
Condition Of the Industry Matter Of
General Discussion.

Some steps must be taken to relieve the
agricultural industry Of Japan. says Consul
8. 8. Lyon at Kobe in a report to the State
Department The condition Of the industry
is matter of general discussion in Japan.
1t is laboring under an immense debt, stated
by Consul Lyon to aggregate almost $780,
100000. Upon this debt the farmers are
obliged to pay abnormally high rates of in
terest, ranging from Is to 30 per cent. The
farmers after paying their national and local
taxes, are not able to make profit of more
than per cent per annum. 1t Is manifestly
hopeless for an industry which pays such
small profit to be carried on with capital
which pays an average interest of 20 per
cent. Improvement Of farms is consequent
ly entirely out of the question, and the re-
suit has been that tenant farmers are for
saking their holdings, especially in Hiro-
shima and Yanaduchi prefectures, where
the lands are largely owned by rich land
lords. Some years ago the government
established an agricultural bank, with a
view to improving matters, and money was
advanced at per cent, but when the fees
for survey, registration, etc., had been
paid the rate really amounted to about u
per cent. Consul Lyon says that some way
must be found to furnish money at a lower
rate of interest to prevent the steady retro
gression Of the agricultural industry OF the
country.

Identification of the city of Seattle, Wash,

the park commission for the Improvement
of this city. Referring to this exhibition.
the reorganization of the board for carry
Ing out municipal improvements and to an
appropriation for that purpose, Mr. Charles
w. Saunders Of Seattle, in a recent letter,
says:
THE exhibition and lecture proved a
strong factor in awakening public senti-
ment and the reorganza ton of the board
1 was appointed a member of the board for
five years and made its secretary, and We
have been granted an appropriation of
100000 by the city council. to be expended
the ensuing year. After preliminary sur
veys we hope to be able to employ Mr.. Ohm
sted of Boston to lay out a system for US.
So, you see, your efforts in awakening in
terest have borne fruit. l wish could at
tend the American Institute Of Architects
annual meeting, to hear the papers that
especially interest me at this time on parks
and the identification Of cities"

ADVANCE IN SHOE LEATHER.
Buying in Austria Raises
the Price 10 Per Cent.

VIENNA, December 26.-The Austrian
manufacturers have decided to advance the
price Of shoes 10 per cent on account of the
higher cost Of leather. They claim this
step is due to extensive purchases Of hides
in the European markets by Americans
who have practically cleaned out the con-
tinental stocks. The Austrians also pro-
fess to see increased danger to the Euro
pean shoe industry from America, owing to
the United States government refunding 80
per cent of the tariff on the raw article
when manufactured and exported. They
complain that this procedure is too, greatly
facilitated by Secretary Shaw's order ad-
hitting proof Of identity by simple declara-
tion, instead Of by affidavit.
